Abstract

The article focuses on the challenges and risks associated with Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, a Level 2 partial driver automation technology that requires constant human supervision. Despite logging millions of miles without incident, the system’s near-perfect performance can lead to driver complacency, reducing vigilance and increasing the likelihood of accidents, as illustrated by the author’s personal crash experience. Tesla’s data-logging practices often place legal responsibility on drivers rather than the company, raising concerns about accountability in automated systems. The piece highlights broader issues in AI and automation, emphasizing the need for clearer consumer understanding and shared responsibility between users and companies as these technologies evolve.
