As artificial intelligence and AI-based technologies continue to advance, they are becoming more integrated into everyday life. From ChatGPT, which provides answers to users’ questions, to autonomous cars, AI is shaping the future. However, this progress also sparks debates. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak recently made a strong statement about AI, claiming “Tesla wants to kill you”. Here are the details…

Wozniak’s Harsh Comments on Tesla Autonomous Driving

As one of the co-founders of Apple, Steve Wozniak is a prominent figure in the technology industry. He has been particularly critical of AI, especially Tesla, a leading automaker in autonomous driving. Wozniak went so far as to say “Tesla wants to kill you” in reference to the company’s cars. During an interview, Wozniak expressed his belief that Tesla’s self-driving car ambitions are unnecessary and dangerous. He described Tesla’s autonomous driving system as “the car that AI enthusiasts who want to kill themselves should buy,” essentially calling the technology a “serial killer.”

Wozniak has a history of making harsh comments about Tesla, often using strong and mocking language. His love-hate relationship with the company is well-documented, so his latest remarks aren’t entirely unexpected. It seems that Wozniak’s love for Tesla may be shifting more towards animosity.

Interestingly, Wozniak was one of Tesla’s early adopters. In 2013, he posted a picture of himself drinking gasoline, which he claimed led to an email from Elon Musk scolding him. Subsequently, Wozniak purchased a Tesla Model S. Despite using his Model S as his daily driver, Wozniak soon began to criticize Tesla’s autopilot system. However, his actions seemed contradictory, as he bought a second Model S before Autopilot 2.0 was released.

Now, with Wozniak’s renewed criticism of Tesla, it’s unclear whether his feelings towards the company are rooted in love or hatred. What we do know is that Wozniak owns two Tesla Model S vehicles and continues to use them daily.
