Tesla AI lead doubles down on FSD speed strategy amid owner confusion
Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's AI lead, confirmed that the max speed control will not return in Full Self-Driving (FSD). Since version 14, Tesla removed this option and introduced five Speed Profiles that adjust not only speed but also passing frequency and lane changes. This decision has caused confusion among owners, who must bear responsibility for traffic infractions caused by FSD. Elluswamy called max speed control an "anti-pattern" and stated Tesla is working on better learning users' implied preferences.
- FSD v14 removed max speed control and uses five Speed Profiles.
- Tesla will not assume liability for traffic tickets caused by FSD.
🔎 Why it matters: FSD version 14 changed speed management, impacting driver experience and responsibility.
📈 Upside: The strategy aims to improve learning of users' implied preferences.
📉 Risk: Lack of direct speed control causes confusion and potential infractions for drivers.
