Electrek: Tesla’s record month: 4 fatal Autopilot and Full Self-Driving crashes
(9/15/2026)

Four of those crashes killed someone. In every one, Tesla’s own data says Autopilot or “Full Self-Driving” was engaged, and in every one, the public was never told the system was involved. ..."

Electrek: Tesla Autopilot was on in I-35 crash that killed its driver (9/10/2026)
"...A 2024 Tesla Model Y ran off Interstate 35 in rural Missouri, struck a guardrail, and killed its driver, a 64-year-old woman from Raymore. Troopers reported a single-vehicle wreck and said the car “went off the road.”
What they didn’t say, and likely didn’t know, is that Tesla’s own report to federal regulators says the car’s driver-assist system was engaged. This is part of an ongoing Electrek investigation matching reported crashes to Tesla’s redacted NHTSA data...."

#Tesla’s #Elon #Musk admits that #FSD does not seem possible with the older HW3 hardware and will require camera and computer updates. I’ve been saying this for years and, if I’m honest, I don’t think HW4 can do it either. Not in the sense of full autonomy (which is how FSD was always sold as a vision).
