Musk says Tesla unsupervised FSD will be 'widespread' in the US by year-end

2 days ago

Elon Musk predicted that Tesla's unsupervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) will be widespread in the U.S. by the end of the year, despite a history of missed deadlines.
Tesla currently operates only about 30 unsupervised robotaxis across three Texas cities, with scaling to nationwide deployment in seven months appearing unrealistic.
Musk has made contradictory safety claims, stating FSD is already 10x safer than human drivers on X, while describing it as on a "path" to that safety level at a tech conference.
Tesla's published safety data has been criticized for methodological flaws, including mismatches in road types, crash definitions, and driver demographics compared to human baselines.
The article notes a decade-long pattern of Musk promising imminent self-driving breakthroughs that fail to materialize, with frequent shifts in timelines and goals.
