However, Tesla does not, nor has it ever claimed to have a self-driving vehicle or software that would make a car drive without the driver needing to pay attention. Tesla has a suite called Full Self-Driving (FSD) but has maintained that it is still the driver&#8217;s responsibility to pay attention to the road and abide by all road rules. The FSD suite is available for $10,000 and can be purchased at any time.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Your research as a private individual is better than professionals <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WSJ?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WSJ<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Data logs recovered so far show Autopilot was not enabled &amp; this car did not purchase FSD.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, standard Autopilot would require lane lines to turn on, which this street did not have.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1384254194975010826?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 19, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>However, the vehicle involved in the accident was not subscribed to the FSD program. Tesla keeps records of its cars and can track whether any car has FSD or not. Musk claims that data logs that have been recovered thus far show that the involved vehicle did not have FSD.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Tesla&#8217;s basic Autopilot suite, which now comes standard on every vehicle, would not have been able to function with the road conditions presented in the area of the accident. Standard Autopilot requires road lines to be functional. This road was unmarked, so Tesla&#8217;s basic Autopilot feature would not have been active. It&#8217;s impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Tesla&#8217;s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving suites are usually the first points of blame when an accident occurs. When Tesla&#8217;s are involved in violent or fatal accidents, they are very publicly covered by media outlets. It only adds fuel to the skeptic&#8217;s fire against the FSD and self-driving programs that Tesla is currently working on completing. In the past, Elon Musk has stated that Tesla may accomplish Level 5 autonomy by the end of 2021, but the CEO and the company have never claimed that a Tesla vehicle can drive itself. The company has also enforced several barriers that would prevent a driver from letting the vehicle operate independently. If a driver does not keep their hands on the steering wheel while the car is in motion, the vehicle will automatically pull over, and Autopilot will be deactivated for the remainder of the drive.<\/p>\n<p>The company also has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-fsd-beta-test-group-expands-revoked-access\/\">revoked FSD access to some drivers after abusing the capabilities<\/a> of the software and not handling it responsibly.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This should dismiss the idea that AP was somehow the cause of this horrific incident.
