According to reports, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed that since the company launched the beta version of the fully self-driving (FSD) software more than a year ago, participation in the project’s vehicles has not been involved in any crashes.
FSD Beta, an early version of Tesla’s Autopilot software system, is currently testing the system with a select group of owners whose vehicles make up a test fleet through its safety test scores. The software enables the vehicle to drive itself, but the driver needs to be alert and ready to take control of the vehicle at all times.
It can be seen that in addition to the influence of the vehicle itself, the safety of autonomous driving is also affected by the degree of caution of the driver. Tesla launched the program in October 2020 and has rolled out the software to thousands of owners.

Tesla’s approach has been criticized for a long time, and some critics believe that the company is not responsible for providing this yet-to-be-developed feature to consumers as testers to use the system on actual roads. responsibility. But Tesla has defended itself by saying that they have been very careful about rolling out these features, and the company will only push new features “slowly to those customers the company deems safe enough.”
Musk responded to Tesla shareholder Ross Gerber on Twitter, who confirmed that Tesla believes that more than a year after the project started, FSD Beta has not had a single accident.
