A major point pertains to regulatory scrutiny of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. Despite a handful of incidents over several years—reporting approximately one crash per 86 million miles—Tesla’s FSD remains statistically safer than human drivers, with claims of being 10X safer. The regulatory environment is scrutinizing these incidents, but Tesla’s cooperation and continuous improvements suggest that progress in autonomous safety is ongoing.
The industry faces a common narrative challenge: combating misinformation and FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt). Supporters emphasize Tesla's real-world safety record and technological advancements, advocating for accelerated deployment of autonomous systems.
