Consumer reports drivers more funding from the Ford Foundation than from any other source. Literally the same guy, Henry Ford III, sits on the bord of directors of the Ford Motor Company and the Ford Foundation. The issue is that they are fighting the competition, in this case Tesla autonomy, not with a better and more affordable product, but with an article explaining how to illegally hack the Tesla system. This other that be just illegal will also push other people to break the law putting lifes in dangerous situation. The article was complaining how much was it "easy" for them to hack Tesla securities, in fact they "only" had to:buckle the driver’s seatbelt without a person sitting in the seat. The driver, who was not actively belted in, then engaged Autopilot and reduced the system’s speed to zero. When the vehicle stopped, a premade weighted defeat device was placed on the Tesla’s steering wheel to simulate pressure from the driver’s hand. The driver then went over to the passenger seat and increased Autopilot’s speed, which enabled the vehicle to start moving again. Consumer Reports also made it a point to point out that the driver in its test did not open the vehicle’s doors, as that would disengage Autopilot.

Consumer Reports is an independent, nonprofit member organization that works for truth, transparency, and fairness in the marketplace. Consumers Union was chartered on February 6, 1936, at a time when consumers had very few options to gauge the value, quality, or authenticity of goods and services. It was an era of unfettered advertising claims, rapid technological progress, and patchwork regulations. Since then, CR has remained true to its mission, testing and reviewing countless products to make sure they’re safe and worth your money. Through our advocacy, we’ve helped people save billions. And we’ve influenced some of the most critical issues of the marketplace: the dangers of smoking cigarettes and eating toxic foods, predatory practices of credit card companies, safety risks in cars, and more.
