A Florida Tesla Cybertruck owner crashed while using the Full Self-Driving feature, highlighting safety concerns. Despite the crash, Jonathan Challinger warned others to stay alert, acknowledging his mistake. Tesla's FSD system draws scrutiny for lulling drivers into a false sense of security, though the company maintains it requires driver engagement. Critics note Musk's repeated assurances of impending autonomous driving, which have yet to materialize. The incident exemplifies a troubling trend of complacency among drivers and challenges regarding Tesla's marketing and safety narratives.
"Big fail on my part, obviously. Don't make the same mistake I did. Pay attention. It can happen."
"It is easy to get complacent now - don't."
"For years now, regulators have been investigating Tesla's driver assistance software, finding last year that owners like Challinger are often lulled into a false sense of security."
"Challinger's comments also highlight a bizarre and difficult-to-reconcile loyalty to Tesla's brand and its mercurial CEO."
