According to new reports, a Tesla employee leaked the company’s autonomous driving documents. These reports included users’ complaints about the Tesla FSD. It was revealed that more than 1000 accidents occurred within the scope of 100 thousand GB of data.
Is Tesla lying about autonomous driving?
Documents leaked to Germany-based newspaper Handelsblatt show that Tesla autonomous driving tests are at a much more dangerous level than announced. The data, consisting of 23 thousand documents, showed that 1500 brake problems were experienced. It was also reported that in 2400 incidents, autonomous driving accelerated more than it should.
It has been observed that Tesla vehicles slow down or stop suddenly in situations called “ghost braking” within the company. According to the report, the problems also occurred between 2015 and 2022 and affected mainly US-European users.
The German newspaper, which carries out a research on the subject, talked to a person who owns Tesla. He said a parked Tesla accelerated “like a race car” and crashed into two pillars. In addition, in another incident, it was stated that the Model Y could not follow the lanes and went off the road.
According to leaked reports, some customers in Europe were also suffering from similar complaints. It has been reported that nearly 1000 accidents occurred as a result of these events. However, it is unclear whether these accidents are shared with official institutions.
On the other hand, it was claimed that Tesla did not listen to the complaints of users enough. It turned out that customer reports were only received orally and any written record was prohibited. For example, a Tesla owner reported that the company always reached over the phone and did not send e-mails.
