I guess so, but I think in a different way. Only if they talked more about how much attention they pay to safety of people when they roll out beta to more users and add features, then perhaps the general public would be more understanding. I know about it from obscure tweets and fleeting mentions having watched countless hours of Tesla people talking about FSD, but you really have to dig to hear about it.
