Tesla’s Autopilot Under Scrutiny

Tesla’s self-driving ambitions have hit turbulence as questions over the safety of its Autopilot system intensify. In 2018, reports of accidents involving Tesla vehicles using Autopilot raised concerns about whether drivers are overly reliant on the semi-autonomous system. 

While Tesla insists that Autopilot improves safety when used correctly, critics argue that it may encourage complacency.

Elon Musk remains bullish on Tesla’s progress, stating that full autonomy is within reach. However, regulators are keeping a close watch, and the debate over liability in self-driving car accidents continues. The coming months will be crucial for Tesla as it works to balance innovation with safety in an increasingly competitive autonomous vehicle market.
