Episode Details

Two U.S. Senators are sounding the alarm over Tesla’s Full Self-Driving claims, accusing the company of misleading safety data that could put lives at risk. They’ve demanded transparency from the National Highway Traffic Administration, citing flawed comparisons and incomplete crash reporting that skew Tesla’s safety assertions. As other AV makers like Waymo make bold claims too, experts warn that comparing autonomous tech to human drivers is inherently complex — especially when testing happens in controlled, low-stress environments. The Senators are calling for mandatory, detailed safety reporting from all self-driving developers, arguing that without trustworthy data, regulators and the public can’t confidently assess whether these systems are truly safer — or if they’re just spinning numbers to push adoption.
