Tesla Trainers Warn FSD Vehicles Speed 20–30 MPH Over Limits, Safety Claims Questioned
TSLA•Seven former Tesla AI trainers said they wouldn’t trust Full Self-Driving after observing vehicles speed 20–30 mph over limits and ignore pedestrians, emergency vehicles and construction workers. Tesla’s claim that FSD is seven times safer than human drivers relies only on severe crashes, distorting its safety record.
1. Former Trainers Report Critical FSD Failures
Seven of ten former AI trainers said they wouldn’t trust Tesla’s Full Self-Driving after witnessing vehicles travel 20–30 mph over speed limits, fail to stop for approaching emergency vehicles and pedestrians, strike animals and nearly collide with construction workers.
2. Questionable Safety Metrics
Tesla’s safety claims that FSD is seven times safer than human drivers count only crashes severe enough to deploy airbags, omitting minor accidents and creating a misleading safety profile.
3. Implications for FSD Adoption and Regulation
These revelations could slow Tesla’s robotaxi expansion in Austin and other markets, invite stricter regulatory scrutiny of its safety data and pressure the company to adopt more transparent, peer-reviewed metrics similar to industry peers.
