Tesla’s full self-driving software ‘suspect’, says AMCI Testing By Investing.com

Investing.com — The latest version of Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) Full Self-Driving software is “suspicious” and still needs improvements to ensure Robotaxi operations can be conducted safely, the firm said Tuesday independent automotive research AMCI Testing, in a statement.

An extensive 1,000-mile evaluation of Tesla’s FSD software exposed how often human intervention was required for safe operation, AMCI Testing said. While Tesla’s latest FSD software is “impressive,” the automotive research firm said its drivers had to intervene more than 75 times during the evaluation; average once every 13 miles.

This result “demonstrates how far Tesla has to go before Robotaxi operations can be safely undertaken,” he added ahead of Tesla’s October 10 Robotaxi unveiling.

“Approaching flawless, but failing, creates an insidious and insecure operator satisfaction problem, as evidenced in the test results,” said David Stokols, CEO of AMCI Testing’s parent company, AMCI Global.

AMCI testing said it found that the more miles driven with FSD enabled, the more likely a driver is to experience these failure modes.
