WASHINGTON—Tesla Inc defended the safety benefits of its advanced driver assistance system Autopilot and its Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability but acknowledged they require “constant monitoring and attention of the driver.”
Democratic Senators Richard Blumenthal and Ed Markey wrote Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk on Feb. 8 raising “significant concerns” about the electric-car maker’s Autopilot and FSD systems which have prompted scrutiny from safety regulators.
