Comment on Correction to article: "First Person to Hack iPhone Built Self-Driving Car"parent

Comments

The original article paints Hotz as brilliant, arrogant and reckless, the archetypal young hero, as what writers often do to make the story interesting.

Tesla's PR fell right into their assigned role of the big, rich, dumb rival. Which is silly, because they have great technology, and they are much smaller and faster to move then, say, the Big Three. Tesla plays as the underdog in stories of them vs big car companies.

The correction the title is referring to is in the third paragraph, it should have been the first, as the main point that they are not using vendor technology.

PR misstep, I suppose.
