A former Tesla manager has filed a lawsuit alleging the company's Full Self-Driving system posed safety risks due to understaffed safety operations. The complaint claims Tesla overextended safety personnel responsible for monitoring its robotaxi fleet.
The lawsuit centers on Tesla's approach to safety oversight for its autonomous vehicles. According to the former manager, the company deployed Full Self-Driving cars with insufficient human monitoring, creating dangerous conditions on public roads.
The complaint alleges that safety operators were stretched too thin, unable to adequately supervise and intervene when vehicles behaved unexpectedly. This staffing shortage, the manager argues, directly compromised public safety.
Tesla has consistently promoted Full Self-Driving as a path toward autonomous vehicle deployment, though the system currently requires driver supervision. The company has faced ongoing scrutiny from regulators and safety advocates regarding the system's reliability and the clarity of its capabilities.
The lawsuit adds to mounting pressure on Tesla regarding its autonomous driving claims and safety practices. Regulators have previously investigated Full Self-Driving performance, and critics question whether adequate safeguards exist before widespread deployment.
