Tesla hits Musk’s threshold for ‘safe unsupervised’ driving
Tesla has reached 10 billion miles driven using its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system, meeting a threshold Elon Musk previously cited for enabling safe unsupervised driving. Despite this milestone, Tesla has not activated unsupervised FSD, and the system remains a Level 2 feature requiring constant driver attention. Questions remain about liability and safety, as experts challenge Tesla's crash data and methodology.
- ▪Tesla's FSD (Supervised) system has accumulated over 10 billion miles driven, hitting a milestone Musk linked to safe unsupervised driving.
- ▪FSD remains a Level 2 system requiring full driver supervision, and Tesla has not enabled unsupervised operation.
- ▪A federal jury found Tesla partly liable in a 2019 Autopilot-related crash, awarding $243 million to victims' families.
- ▪Tesla claims its FSD vehicles go 5.5 million miles on average between major collisions, compared to 660,000 miles for average U.S. drivers.
- ▪Experts have criticized Tesla's safety reporting, arguing it overlooks key traffic statistics and may miscount crashes.
