Tesla Reports Fatal Crashes, Then Censors Almost Everything
Guida autonoma, Tesla segnala gli incidenti mortali e poi censura quasi tutto - ClubAlfa.it
Tesla reports thousands of incidents involving its driver-assist systems to NHTSA but censors nearly all details, citing trade secrets.

Despite marketing the software as fully autonomous, Tesla attributes blame to drivers while the systems remain Level 2, requiring constant human supervision.

Tesla Autopilot tricked into speeding by electrical tape on sign
Researchers from McAfee Labs demonstrated that a two-inch piece of black electrical tape stuck on a 35 mph speed limit sign can cause the Traffic Aware Cruise Control in older Tesla Model S and X vehicles to misread the sign as 85 mph and automatically accelerate. The vulnerability affects vehicles using the MobilEye EyeQ3 camera system (Hardware Pack 1). The driver can override by braking. Tesla and MobilEye were informed but did not commit to fixing the issue.
