TL;DR: Tesla self-driving tech is becoming less safe per mile, according to Tesla’s own data.

Q1 2025 was 2.5% worse than Q1 2024.

Q2 2025 was 2.8% worse than Q2 2024.

Not a great look.

This is taking “testing in production” to a whole new level. How did this get past the regulations?

On second thoughts, does any country have concrete regulations for self driving vehicles? I am curious what they would be, and how they would quantify the thresholds since no self driving solution would be 100% accident-free.

It's almost like DOGE specifically dismantled the parts of the government that were investigating and attempting to regulate Musk's companies.

Wow, that's crazy -- I thought they impartially reviewed the federal government and determined that all the waste was coming from the 10-person autonomous safety office at the NHTSA, and whoever does the science to make sure rockets don't poison us all at the FAA.

Well, we know how he got passed regulations

Teslas "FSD" is not legal in the EU AFAIK.

The Cybertruck isn't road legal in the UK. And if it was it'd need a special license due to it's weight.

Same in the EU, the regular, B category for drivers license only qualifies you for driving vehicles up to 3500kgs and I believe the Cybersuck is over that

Look at you with your sane regulations. They practically give driver's licenses away like candy here.
