Tesla Engineer Flags ‘Social Etiquette’ Issues With FSD Despite Improvements
Tesla Inc. TSLA executive Wes Morrill said on Saturday that he continues to have “social etiquette” complaints about the company’s full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance technology and is increasingly surprised by its capabilities. What Happened: Morrill said in a post on X that FSD is driving without much of his intervention now. Still, he continues to have social etiquette complaints such as waiting “too long” at a four-way or not accelerating fast enough at the highway on-ramp. “And every once in a while there is a weird situation I think “okay I’m probably going to need to intervene here” and then I’m surprised when FSD just gracefully does the right thing,” Morrill said in a post on X. This what I've been telling people who ask. My remaining complaints are all social etiquette things. Waiting too long at a four-way or not accelerating fast enough at the highway on-ramp. And every once in a while there is a weird situation I think "okay I'm probably going to… https://t.co/Dg6XtPZ6Ia FSD is an advanced driver assistance system that allows for hands-off driving. While the system provides for automatic lane changes, among other things, it still requires active driver supervision and for the driver to take over in situations where they believe the system cannot perform adequately. Why It Matters: Tesla is optimistic that FSD will enable vehicle autonomy with future versions of the software. However, as of date, it is yet to make vehicles wholly autonomous. “It’s learning, but does still need supervision. Getting longer and longer between interventions,” Morill said in a post-reply about its improvements. Older versions ran over curbs for me, but recent builds I haven't hit a curb even in those same areas. It's learning, but does still need supervision. Getting longer and longer between interventions. However, FSD has also been under the radar of regulators. Earlier this month, U.S. auto safety regulator National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened a probe into about 2.6 million Tesla vehicles equipped with the company’s full self-driving driver assistance technology following a complaint alleging that the use of its “Actually Smart Summon” feature led to a crash. Actually Smart Summon refers to a feature that allows a user to remotely move the vehicle towards themselves or to another nearby location such as a parking lot through the company’s phone app. Check out more of Benzinga's Future Of Mobility coverage by following this link.
Ross Gerber Says X Account Hacked To Promote Tesla Scam Coin: Renowned Investor Says, ‘Possible It Was An Inside Job’
Veteran investor Ross Gerber revealed on Sunday that his X account was hacked by “sophisticated” cryptocurrency scammers to promote a coin linked to automotive giant Tesla. What Happened: Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, thanked the X team, especially CEO Linda Yaccarino, for the quick resolution. Gerber told Benzinga by mail that the account recovery took 30 minutes. “Considering it was a Tesla crypto scam coin, I was specifically targeted in this attack,” Gerber disclosed. He clarified that he doesn’t promote cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin to his clients. My account was hacked yesterday by very sophisticated crypto scammers. Sorry for any confusion caused by this hack. Twitter/X responded rapidly and was very helpful. Special thanks to @lindayaX for being the best. Gerber, an early investor in the Elon Musk-led giant, has significantly reduced his fund's stake in the company since November and set a six-month ultimatum for Tesla to improve its performance before potentially exiting the stock entirely. “It's possible it was an inside job at X; not sure if they’re investigating it,” Gerber said, voicing doubts about the social media behemoth, which is also controlled by Musk. X didn’t immediately return Benzinga’s request for comment.

Gerber alarmed investors about the potential for fraud in the crypto market in December, especially with coins other than Bitcoin BTC/USD. He noted that the appointment of crypto-friendly individuals in the Donald Trump administration wouldn’t necessarily protect retail investors from scams. Gerber’s incident follows a recent case where Ivanka Trump publicly rejected a fake cryptocurrency being promoted under her name.
