  • Reuters spoke to 11 Uber and Lyft drivers who self-report using Tesla's "Full Self-Driving" feature while driving for their respective services.
  • The system is not legally self-driving, and drivers remain responsible for any collisions that happen while using the mode. 
  • One of those drivers was involved in a crash while the system was engaged, though the other vehicle involved was determined to be at fault.
