It's hard to trust what Tesla says about "Full Self-Driving" (FSD). CEO Elon Musk has been promising that it would shortly become fully autonomous for nearly a decade now. Since then, fatal crashes have occured, hundreds of millions of dollars in lawsuit judgments have been paid out, and countless leases have begun and ended with the promise still unfulfilled. And thanks to Reuters, this week we got a closer look at just how far away true autonomy seems.
The story quotes a slew of former Tesla employees who worked on labeling training data for the company's autonomy efforts. Seven of them say they wouldn't trust the software to drive them, with one saying he wouldn't get in a car piloted by FSD "if you fucking paid me."
