Synopsis
It’s 2014, and tech billionaire Elon Musk unveils his plans for a self-driving car to an enthusiastic audience. What consumers don't know is that Tesla’s “Autopilot” feature is far from roadworthy and that new owners are being used to improve the software by providing their data. Shocking dashcam and surveillance camera footage reveals the reckless behavior of Tesla cars, which suddenly brake or accelerate—and the resulting crashes. Then, an employee releases thousands of documents containing user complaints. This investigative film traces Musk’s meteoric rise and his shift toward supporting Donald Trump, who prioritizes business success over safety regulations. Interviews with victims and their families, as well as with journalists and former Tesla employees, reveal a climate in which an unfinished product is launched—and public spaces are used as deadly testing grounds.
