TESLA HAS LAUNCHED a beta version of what it terms Full Self-Driving (FSD)—not technically fully autonomous driving, but close. You’ll still need to sit in the driver’s seat and prove you are a safe driver, with Tesla examining your driving record for examples of hard turning or braking, and collision warnings. Meanwhile, the National Transportation Safety Board and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are busy investigating a number of Tesla crashes. The NTSB has called the name Full Self-Driving “misleading and irresponsible”, since it certainly isn’t ‘Full’.
