Federal regulators are reviewing a petition calling for an investigation into alleged speeding violations by Tesla's driverless vehicles.

Tesla has renamed Full Self-Driving to "Tesla Assisted Driving" in Europe, in a further admission that its cars don't drive themselves.

On September 4, 2026, a Tesla left the northbound Baltimore-Washington Parkway near Laurel, Maryland and struck a stone bridge abutment under Fort Meade Road. The driver, the only occupant, was killed. The vehicle was fully involved almost immediately.

Two police officers approached the burning car and were caught in the smoke. Both were hospitalized, one at University of Maryland Shock Trauma. By the end of the incident, around nine people had been transported, including police, at least one firefighter, and civilians who stopped to help. Anne Arundel County Fire was on scene for close to seven hours.

This video covers what makes an EV battery fire different from a typical vehicle fire, what's actually in the smoke, why police officers and bystanders are the most exposed people on scene, and why apparatus placement matters more than it used to.

The vehicle stopped in live traffic and was rear-ended.

Received this email yesterday. Gotta say - I’ve never seen a car company (or any company really) reduce pricing.

Tesla explosion in an Auburn, Washington garage injured two firefighters; the cause remains under investigation by the King County Sheriff's Office.

A former Tesla safety lead says he was fired after warning about the company's dangerous approach to testing its self-driving cars.

It must be earnings day!

“electronic data recovered from the vehicle indicated that before the crash, the driver manually overrode FSD (Supervised) by pressing the accelerator pedal to 100%…”

According to the arrest affidavit, Butler told police he did not feel sick at the time of the crash and did not have any alcohol or drugs in his system.  He said he was making a DoorDash delivery when he changed the music on the Tesla’s touchscreen and eventually “passed out,” according to the court documents.

Driver told authorities he had driver-assistance technology engaged before crash that killed 76-year-old Martha Avila

A driver in a Tesla vehicle that was allegedly in self-driving mode crashed into a Texas house Friday night, killing a woman who was inside the home, investigators said.

A major Reuters investigation published today reveals that Tesla’s widely touted “Full Self-Driving” safety statistics are built on deeply flawed methodology — and that the company’s own data labelers, the workers who train the AI system, don’t trust the technology to drive them.

TLDR: Since Tesla’s June 2025 robotaxi launch, Tesla has built a 39-vehicle unsupervised fleet, while Waymo has a newly disclosed 3,791-vehicle U.S. fleet. So Tesla appears to be on pace to catch up with Waymo’s autonomous fleet size by the year 2111. Assuming, of course, Waymo politely stops building autonomous vehicles and waits for Tesla until the 22nd century.

The Dutch Tesla owner who launched a collective claim against Tesla over FSD on HW3 cars called Tesla to ask about the €6,400 he paid for “Full Self-Driving” in 2019. After 7 years of waiting, Tesla’s answer was to “just be patient.”
