Tesla's supervised self-driving system often misreads speed limits, Belgian safety group finds
LOS ANGELES: Tesla’s FSD automated-driving system frequently exceeded speed limits and attempted to overtake cyclists on streets where it is prohibited, a road-safety advocacy group said, citing tests it conducted in Belgium.
Tesla's FSD (Full Self-Driving) automated-driving system has been found to frequently exceed speed limits and attempt to overtake cyclists in prohibited zones, according to a Belgian safety group. The Johanna.be advocacy group conducted tests over three days in July, covering approximately 400km, and discovered that FSD often exceeded speed limits in 20km/h and 30km/h zones.
The system incorrectly displayed higher speed limits, potentially misleading drivers about how fast the vehicle should travel. While the Dutch regulator RDW approved the system in April, several EU countries, including Sweden, have expressed concerns about FSD exceeding speed limits. Tesla and RDW did not respond to requests for comment. The NGO urged both to reassess the approvals.
