wth man I was told mh Model Y that I bought around 2021 was going to do all this but it's now too old or something?

It seems you got musked, overpromised and underdelivered.

I'm in the same boat, this is a whole thing right now. There is some kinda class action in Europe which will hopefully make them pay up or deliver something useful. I think a Refund plus interest plus a hefty fine for lying would be a good start.

"four newly integrated advanced safety tests:

    Pedestrian automatic emergency braking 
    Lane keeping assistance 
    Blind spot warning, and  
    Blind spot intervention 
"

Don't most cars do something like that now? I'm curious what's different between Tesla and, say, a Honda Accord?

How much did Honda's CEO give the president in the last election?
kyleee•16m ago
10% for the big guy, iirc
calchris42•51m ago
The article is vague, but I suspect this is referring to FMVSS-127 which makes certain active safety features mandatory in 2029 and also increases the difficulty of some required to pass scenarios. The new scenarios require responding from higher initial speeds which effectively requires longer sensor ranges and/or lower latency.

There is a big difference between "something like" and actually passing the tests, I would be surprised if any non vision based system has the reaction time needed to pass the new pedestrian tests.
amazingamazing•53m ago
Neat. I wonder which others will pass. I wonder if safety sense 3 cars will pass too. Speaking of which it’s insane a sienna doesn’t have that. I wish Tesla made a van instead of the cyber truck. Americans and their truck obsession…

A Tesla still can't detect a motorcycle next to it, so I can't see how it would ace the blind spot warning test.

Any other administration and I would be willing to grant the benefit of the doubt, but Musk's spent a lot of money to corrupt government agencies over the past year and a half so that he could get silly pronouncements that the most dangerous "advanced" driving system in the world is somehow also the safest. (More people have been killed by Tesla's ADAS systems than every other automaker's ADAS systems, in the world, combined.)

brandonagr2•38m ago
Obviously your priors are wrong, it can ace a blind spot warning test because it can detect a motorcycle next to it.
laweijfmvo•44m ago
yet i still can’t use basic autopilot on the highway because it phantom brakes every 2 hours
radial_symmetry•37m ago
Are you on an extremely old version or something? I have had my model Y for 5 years and it only phantom braked once ever.
aetherspawn•9m ago
Many countries in the world are on a 6+ year old version of Autopilot, yeah..
ajross•23m ago
So, that's not my experience with current FSD versions. But whatever, sure. Let's accept your data point as measured:

Every... TWO HOURS?! I mean, come on. Put a camera on yourself or another human driver. There's an unexpected braking event at least that often, almost always in a more dangerous situation. The human failure tends to be failing to detect a real obstacle, vs. slowing for a phantom one.

This is just too much. If you don't like it don't use it. But to pretend that stomps-the-brakes-every-few-hours is a stop ship kind of safety bug is quite frankly ridiculous.

aetherspawn•10m ago
Autopilot (no longer for sale) is so unsafe I’m surprised there’s no class action for owners to force Tesla to upgrade it to FSD for free.

Especially in right hand drive markets (non US) it’s even worse than Toyota’s radar cruise.

I’ve nearly been killed by it about 5 times because it randomly steers into fences and things. It also randomly fails to change lanes (1 in 100), and then just randomly steers full lock and goes out of control.

A Chinese TV channel spent a bunch of money doing ADAS tests and Tesla came out on top of all the Chinese brands, including all the LIDAR systems. Although tests were all in the day time.

XPENG (major chinese ADAS brand) recently decided to copy Tesla's vision-only+AI world gen data approach, after originally focusing only on LIDAR https://electrek.co/2026/04/29/xpeng-vla-2-test-drive-tesla-...

There's also been talk of companies pushing a hybrid LIDAR+vision approach using custom hardware since it's complex to merge the two datasets. So the answer might eventually be somewhere in between instead of companies choosing one or the other depending on costs.

Sure they did. Money buys everything in the US with this administration.
buzzerbetrayed•21m ago
You gonna post a source that this happened? Or are you just spreading FUD?
ohyoutravel•15m ago
It’s pretty well documented that this is the case generally.
