Tesla Temporarily Turns Off Automatic Emergency Braking For Newer Models. Tesla kicked off a spirited debate with its decision to expand the battery range of Model S and X owners in Florida who were trying to escape Hurricane Irma’s wrath. It seems as more vehicles rely on over- the- air updates, more control is ceded to corporations over how we drive.

With Tesla purportedly gearing up to introduce an all-electric semi next month, diesel engine supplier Cummins took some of the automaker’s buzz away on Tuesday. Tesla kicked off a spirited debate with its decision to expand the battery range of Model S and X owners in Florida who were trying to escape Hurricane Irma’s wrath.

It’s more like you’re using the company’s product instead of owning it.
