Summary
Tesla is actively campaigning against proposed New Jersey legislation (Bill A-4740) that would require a human driver to be present in autonomous vehicles, effectively blocking Tesla's planned Robotaxi service. The company sent emails to New Jersey owners urging them to oppose the bill, framing it as anti-innovation. The article contrasts Tesla's aggressive push for driverless technology with its ongoing struggles with basic navigation features in its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, which still requires supervision and has known limitations.
