Seven US senators, led by Democrat Richard Blumenthal, have penned a letter to Tesla CEO Elon Musk criticising the use by the company of forced arbitration clauses in consumer and employee contracts. The senators argued such clauses prevent instances of discrimination and complaints about consumer safety from being aired in court. The letter also mentioned specific incidents of complaints, including those involving racial and sexual harassment, plus issues relating to Tesla vehicles and its Full Self-Driving Beta software.
