Tesla's "Mad Max" mode is now under federal scrutiny

6 months ago

Tesla introduced new firmware update with two FSD driving modes: 'Sloth' and 'Mad Max'.
'Sloth' mode relaxes acceleration and stays in lane, while 'Mad Max' speeds and swerves aggressively.
NHTSA is investigating reports of FSD Teslas behaving aggressively.
'Mad Max' mode was beta-tested in 2018 but shelved due to public outcry.
Tesla promotes 'Mad Max' as driving 'like a sports car' for those running late.
The update comes despite Tesla losing a wrongful death lawsuit costing hundreds of millions.
