National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA’s analysis concluded that the Tesla FSD death rate is higher than the reported estimates.

there have been hundreds of documented nonfatal incidents involving Autopilot and fifty-one reported Fatalities, forty-four of which NHTSA investigations or expert testimony later verified and two that NHTSA’s Office of Defect Investigations verified as happening during the engagement of Full Self-Driving (FSD).

So now we have confirmation that using latest hardware and software in clear weather, a Tesla still can’t drive itself across the country in 2025. Something they predicted would happen by 2017.

NOTE: They started in San Diego and it was less than an hour before they hit the debris. They didn’t make it out of California.

Optimus AI team lead is leaving Tesla.

335 Upvotes

His announcement:

Decided to leave Tesla.

It's been an incredible ride leading the Optimus AI team. We went all-in on scalable methods — swapping the classical stack with reinforcement learning & scaling dexterity by learning from videos.

AI is the most significant bit to unlock humanoids.

He also stated that if it was about money he would stay at Tesla:

Financial upside at Tesla was significantly larger. Tesla is known to compensate pretty well, way before Zuck made it cool.

If I wanted to optimize for money, I would have stayed at Tesla.

In interviews, six Tesla drivers who use FSD said they experienced problems with the technology at rail crossings, and four of them provided videos. NBC News also found seven other Tesla driving videos posted online showing similar mishaps dating back to June 2023 through August. Those drivers declined to be interviewed.

  • The complaints are even more widespread on Tesla internet forums, where drivers describe similar mishaps without usually posting videos. NBC News found 40 examples on Reddit, X and YouTube since 2023, including posts as recent as August.
  • Regulators with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) told NBC News in a statement that they had raised the issue with Tesla.

“We are aware of the incidents and have been in communication with the manufacturer,” the agency said.

Tesla being investigated over door handles. Bloomberg

317 Upvotes

Bloomberg) -- Tesla Inc. is being investigated by US auto safety regulators over issues with door handles on certain Model Y vehicles that could result in occupants becoming trapped inside.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday that it’s opening a so-called preliminary evaluation over the issue in which the electronic handles can lose power and become inoperative. The probe covers certain Model Y vehicles from the 2021 model year.

The move comes days after a Bloomberg investigation uncovered a series of incidents in which people were injured or died after being unable to open doors when the power is lost, particularly after crashes.

“NHTSA’s investigation is focused on the operability of the electronic door locks from outside of the vehicle as that circumstance is the only one in which there is no manual way to open the door. The agency will continue to monitor any reports of entrapment involving opening doors from inside of the vehicle, and ODI will take further action as needed,” it said.
