There was a video that showed fans of the car company testing out the software on real children.
A call out for a San Francisco parent to use their child for a test of the software was posted by the person who runs theTesla fan account. Tad Park agreed to run a test with Qazi using his children.
CNBC reported that the video had been taken down. According to CNBC, the video violated the site's guidelines regarding content that endangers children.
According to CNBC, "YouTube doesn't allow content showing a minor participating in dangerous activities." The videos raised to us by CNBC violated our harmful and dangerous policies and we removed the content.
Qazi posted an alternate link to the video on Friday after not responding to a request for comment.
In an interview with Insider, Park said that he felt that CNBC was behind the removal of the video.
He told Insider that this wasn't a test as they were not pushing the system in any way.
Park told CNBC that he was prepared to stop the car if FSD didn't stop it, because the car didn't go over eight miles per hour in the tests.
A video was posted after a marketing campaign showed a car crashing into a mannequin. The video sparked outrage in the community, with many fans of the company trying to defend the software, and O'Dowd's ad led to multiple tests with differing results.
Real children were used to test the software on Park and Qazi. A North Carolina man posted a video of his son testing out the software on the internet. Carmine Cupani drives as fast as 35 miles per hour while his son stands in the street. The vehicle comes to a stop or slows down when he is near his son.
Cupani didn't reply to a question from Insider. The video has not been taken down by the video sharing website.
The NHTSA warned drivers that testing out the software on kids could have dire consequences.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a statement that no one should risk their life or that of others to test the performance of vehicle technology. People and children should not be used to test the performance of vehicle technology.
The publication was told by the NHTSA that it has been testing the software for a long time. In 2020 the agency started a program for automated testing.
Though the system claims to be fully self-driving, it is actually an optional add-on that allows the car to change lanes, enter and exit highways, recognize stop signs, and park.
