Consumer Reports updated an in-depth report this week on Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) Full Self-Driving and Autopilot capabilities, and the review is far from flattering. Unreliable Features: Consumer Reports said Tesla’s ambitious self-driving technology promises some extremely cool features, but the reality of what drivers actually get when they cough up $10,000 for FSD is inconsistent, unpredictable and potentially very dangerous. Jake Fisher, senior director of auto testing at Consumer Reports, said Tesla has made significant strides in autonomy in recent years — but Tesla owners should not rely on Autopilot or FSD to make driving easier or safer. Smart Summon sometimes drove on the wrong side of parking lot driving lanes and failed to stop at stop signs. Consumer Reports said it reached out to Tesla with a series of questions about its features, but Tesla did not respond.
