Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ system is under increased scrutiny as incidents and expert opinions raise questions about its safety and readiness for widespread use even as Elon Musk touts his cars as the robotaxis of the future.that Tesla’s highly touted ‘Full Self-Driving’ system, which approximately 500,000 Tesla owners are currently using, is facing growing concerns about its safety and ability to operate autonomously.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made bold predictions about the capabilities of FSD, suggesting that it could operate more safely than human drivers by the end of this year or next. However, experts in the field of autonomous vehicles are becoming increasingly skeptical about the system’s ability to function safely on a large scale. Many doubt that Tesla is close to deploying a fleet of autonomous robotaxis, as Musk has predicted.
Missy Cummings, a professor of engineering and computing at George Mason University and prominent Tesla critic, emphasizes that cars cannot operate safely with vision alone. Even systems that incorporate laser and radar technology are not yet able to drive reliably in all situations, raising safety questions across the board.
As Tesla faces declining electric vehicle sales and Musk encourages investors to view the company as a robotics and AI business, the safety and effectiveness of FSD remain under intense scrutiny. The NHTSA is evaluating information on the fatal crash in Washington state and investigating whether a recent Tesla recall intended to improve the automated vehicle driver monitoring system was successful.
