The multi-million dollar campaign attacks Teslas's autonomous driving software, calling for a government ban on the vehicles. O'Dowd's campaign has raised questions whether his campaign for senate is legitimate, or an endeavor to gain a business advantage over his competitor.
Dan O'Dowd, Santa Barbara millionaire, United States Senate candidate and founder of Green Hills Software and The Dawn Project, has launched a multi-million dollar ad campaign targeted at Tesla Motors and their famous autonomous driving software.
On his personal LinkedIn page, O'Dowd's headline reads,"I am running for U.S. Senate to make computers safe for humanity and ban Tesla Full Self-Driving." It's easy to see that O'Dowd has one goal in mind with his campaign for senate - getting rid of Tesla's self-driving systems. "I love Teslas. I own three of them," he admitted."But this full self-driving option - the one that costs 12-thousand dollars - they put it in your car, and now it will try to run off the road, run into parked vehicles.
"We supply to General Motors, in fact, we supply to Toyota and BMW - virtually all of the companies. Doesn't make us a competitor to Tesla," he said."We don't make self-driving software or cars or anything like that.
