Right out the toaster. Reliable, with some real depth.
Summary
Reuters interviewed nine former Tesla data labelers and a former self-driving engineer about Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode. Seven of the data specialists said they wouldn't ride in a Tesla using FSD, revealing that even the people building the technology don't trust Elon Musk's claims about the company's autonomous vehicle capabilities. The reporting paints an overwhelmingly negative picture of the system's reliability from those who worked directly on it.
