Even if you don't really follow Tesla, at this point, it's highly likely you've heard about Dan O'Dowd and his campaign against the automaker's Full Self-Driving beta technology. O'Dowd runs a software company that competes with Tesla, and he aims to prove that the FSD technology will kill children.
O'Dowd started with a run for Senate, and his only real mission was to go to bat against Elon Musk and Tesla. He launched an ad in the New York Times, and he regularly takes to social media to talk about his concerns with Tesla's advanced driver-assist systems. However, the most talked-about part of O'Dowd's campaign is a video ad he made that shows Tesla's vehicles bowling over child-sized mannequins. O'Dowd goes so far as to say the FSD technology "will indiscriminately mow down children.”
