Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk said on Monday that the company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology saves many lives as criticism over the system’s capabilities grows.
Saving A Lot Of Lives
In a post on the social media platform X, Musk quoted a video that purportedly showed a Tesla on FSD swerving to avoid a collision with a man crossing the highway in limited-visibility conditions. “Tesla self-driving saves a lot of lives – the statistics are unequivocal,” Musk said in his post, acknowledging that the system still had room for improvement.
The billionaire then outlined that despite improvements and the system “saving 90% of the million lives lost” annually in auto accidents, “Tesla will still get sued for the 10% who did die,” he shared. Musk then claimed that “90%” of the would-be fatalities still alive “won’t even know that Tesla saved them.”
