California tech CEO and Tesla critic releases video showing the company's Full Self-Driving system crashing into a child-sized mannequin

• A video shows a Tesla crashing into a child-sized mannequin while using Tesla Full Self-Driving.

• Tech CEO Dan O'Dowd has continually said he wants to ban FSD.

• A Tesla spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment from Insider.

Tesla's autonomous driving system repeatedly crashed into a child-sized mannequin during a non-regulatory test published this week by tech CEO and notable Tesla critic Dan O'Dowd, who funded the research.

O'Dowd, the CEO of Green Hills Software, launched a campaign last year to ban what he describes as unsafe software from safety systems. Since then, the organization, called The Dawn Project, has been actively testing Tesla's software.

The campaign, which is funded by O'Dowd, is calling for Congress to shut the Tesla program down. The CEO previously attempted to run for Senate on a platform based solely on banning Tesla FSD. The ad is one of several that The Dawn Project has posted criticizing Tesla's FSD.

On Tuesday, the organization released a video as a part of its latest ad campaign of a Tesla plowing through a mannequin while the company's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system was allegedly in use.

A Tesla spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment ahead of publication.

The 32-second video shows three instances of the Tesla driving through the mannequin at a test track in California.
