/r/TeslaMotors dug up this video[1] of MobilEye CEO talking about the Autopilot, so if they really disagreed with the usage of Autopilot, shouldn't they have brought that up prior, and not included it in promotional material. From all indications on their end, I believe that they said that the Tesla Autopilot shouldn't be driven hands-free. I have no qualms with that, but why then use the Autopilot as a promotional feature for their products? Not trying to fanboy with Tesla here, as I do think that MobilEye was right in pulling their products away from Tesla.

Are you kidding ? His talk basically explain that we're not there yet ( at 2min "this is a challenge that remains to be solved")... It's not a marketing talk. It's a tech talk on the general issues faced before we can reach the goal of autonomous driving ( and how mobile eye can help, of course).

Also, in his conclusion (38min) : " you have to take this tools with a grain of salt, people tend to overreach..." He is talking about his own tools, the tools he presented. I can't see how someone can be more cautious and humble.

Oh wow, you can clearly see they were willing to go with it till there was an accident and they then immediately buckled under the first sign of trouble.

I can totally see why Tesla ditched them.
