Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
Reuters interviewed nine former Tesla data labelers and a former self-driving engineer about their views on Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode. Seven of the nine data specialists said they would not ride in a Tesla operating on FSD, citing firsthand experience with system failures. The former self-driving engineer also expressed distrust in Elon Musk's claims that Tesla vehicles are ready for "safe unsupervised" rides. The article highlights a significant credibility gap between those who trained the AI and the company's public assertions about its safety.
