NHTSA is already worried Autopilot and FSD make drivers irresponsible – this surely won't help matters
The discovery of a secret Tesla Autopilot configuration that allows the self-driving system to operate without driver attention isn't sitting well with US regulators who have cut a special order to get more information for their ongoing investigation.
"The resulting relaxation of controls designed to ensure that the driver remain engaged in the dynamic driving task could lead to greater driver inattention and failure of the driver to properly supervise Autopilot," the NHTSA asserted. According to greentheonly, the feature is buried pretty deeply in Tesla's software such that the average Tesla owner wouldn't be able to turn it on."Even regular people that do rooting cannot affect this," greentheonly toldin an email."That said I know of at least three cars that have this unofficially and probably a handful more that are capable, but not using this at the time.
