Questions About Safety of Tesla's Full Self-Driving System Growing

The article discusses growing concerns about the safety of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, an advanced driver-assist feature that handles some driving tasks. Critics argue that Tesla has been misleading by using the term “full self-driving” when the system cannot actually drive autonomously in all conditions. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating Tesla’s FSD system after receiving reports of vehicles crashing into emergency vehicles while using the system. The NHTSA has also asked Tesla to provide information about its system, including details on how it ensures vehicles operate safely. Tesla has defended its system, stating that it enhances safety and warning drivers to remain alert. However, experts argue that Tesla’s marketing of FSD as “full self-driving” sets unrealistic expectations and could lead to misuse. The article highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the safety and regulation of advanced driver-assist systems.
