Electric car maker Tesla has been criticized over its former employee, who was fired for sharing FSD accidents. The employee, who shared the accidents of Tesla FSD (Full Autonomous Driving System) on his YouTube channel, was fired from the automaker in February of this year.
Former Tesla engineer John Bernal shared some demo drives of Full Self Driving Beta (FSD Beta) in the video he uploaded to his YouTube channel. The video revealed that Tesla’s famous autopilot system was not working as it should.
Tesla fired its employee who deciphered FSD accidents
John Bernal, owner of a channel called AI Addict, recorded the Tesla FSD studies operating in the Silicon Valley region over the past few months. In some parts of the videos, it was noticed that the autopilot was malfunctioning, for example hitting items on the streets. It seems that Tesla did not like the sharing of these errors on YouTube.
The electric car giant encourages social media influencers and FSD Beta registered drivers to share their experiences, but does not like the publication of service failures. The company made its final appeal to its former engineer, John Bernal.
Claiming that the content posted on YouTube violates company policies, Tesla also cut off the driver’s access to FSD Beta tests, despite not receiving any warning.
“An executive from my Autopilot team tried to dissuade me from posting any negative or critical content involving FSD Beta in the future. They did a video conference with me but didn’t give anything in writing.”
Tesla FSD Beta allows Tesla vehicles to navigate both on highways and in the city by simply entering the location in the navigation software, but still as a level 2 driver assistance because it requires driver supervision at all times. is accepted.
It should be noted that Tesla has not yet officially commented on all these claims. It should also be noted that there are several Tesla autopilot accidents that are currently being investigated by the USA.
