AutoExec Summary
Consumer Reports has slammed Tesla’s latest semi-autonomous driving software, claiming it is “far less competent than a human driver.” The review found that the system made dangerous and potentially illegal manoeuvres, requiring the driver to intervene to prevent poor decisions. This is a significant blow to Tesla, which has long claimed its cars are safer at driving than humans. Despite Tesla’s warnings that drivers must remain in control at all times, the review raises doubts about the system’s usefulness and its ability to achieve full autonomy. The review also raises concerns about the hardware’s computing power and safety, casting doubt on Tesla’s future plans for robo-taxis.
