Behind the curtain: Tesla's inflated statistics and displays of AI competence

Why Tesla’s AI trainers don’t trust its self-driving tech – or its safety stats

Tesla FSD trainers say the system still misses emergency vehicles and school buses; Reuters found the '10x safer' claim uses invalid benchmarks, comparing airbag-deployment crash rates to a federal dataset that includes minor accidents. Robotaxi demos rely on unscalable local route mapping, directly contradicting Tesla's camera-only, anywhere-in-the-world autonomy pitch and the $1.6T valuation built on it.
