Tesla Full-Self Driving Software Alarms Safety Advocates

CR plans to independently test the software update, popularly known as FSD beta 9,

as soon as our Model Y SUV receives the necessary software update from Tesla.

So far,
our experts have watched videos posted on social media of other drivers trying it out and are concerned with what they’re seeing—

including vehicles missing turns,
scraping against bushes,
and heading toward parked cars.

Even Tesla CEO Elon Musk urged that drivers use caution when using FSD beta 9,

writing on Twitter that “there will be unknown issues, so please be paranoid.”

FSD beta 9

is a prototype of what the automaker calls its “Full Self-Driving” feature, which, despite its name, does not yet make a Tesla fully self-driving.
