Tesla reportedly saw an uptick in crashes and mistakes after Elon Musk removed radar from its cars

Since Elon Musk announced that Tesla was doing away with radar sensors on its cars nearly two years ago, the electric-car maker has seen an increase in crashes and near accidents, according to a recent report from The Washington Post.

 

The publication cited interviews with dozens of former employees, test drivers, and other experts.

 

After the update in 2021, more Teslas running on Autopilot or Full Self-Driving began stopping for imaginary obstacles, misidentifying street signs, and having difficulties identifying emergency vehicles, the Post reported, citing complaints that were filed with regulators.

Way to go Elon!

Is this guy a walking disaster zone?

I think so called self driving cars should not be allowed on the streets. Or if at all then only with special permissions for certain test drivers.

The (tesla) technology is obviously not perfect. Let them fix it before they offer it to the public.
