Tesla FSD left on as drivers distract themselves raises controversy over autonomous driving play

Videos showing Tesla drivers sleeping, gaming or watching TV while using the company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) driver-assistance system are spreading on social media. Tesla says the feature is supervised and requires active driver oversight, with drivers responsible for safe operation and obeying traffic laws. The report said methods to bypass driver monitoring are circulating and that apps and dongles are being sold. It also cited lawsuits and U.S. safety regulators’ scrutiny.
