Tesla FSD Under Fire as Waymo Expands

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system is under fresh scrutiny after a fatal crash in Texas that killed a woman, sparking investigations from federal safety agencies — even as Tesla’s AI VP points fingers at the driver, leaving key system details murky. This follows a recent settlement over another fatal incident, part of a broader probe into FSD’s performance in low-visibility conditions. Meanwhile, Waymo is rolling out its new Ojai robotaxis, built by Zeekr in China, signaling serious expansion plans for the U.S. and beyond. The U.S. DOT is also proposing to eliminate brake pedals for self-driving cars — a major regulatory win for Tesla and Zoox — while Lucid Motors cuts 15% of its workforce to streamline operations. Lyft is raising the bar by mandating multi-sensor setups for AVs, potentially sidelining Tesla’s camera-only FSD. And Waymo’s new German entity hints at global robotaxi ambitions.
