Description

Tesla's new 'Mad Max' driving mode, introduced on October 29th, has sparked controversy and a government investigation. This aggressive mode, designed for heavy traffic, allows Teslas to speed and weave through traffic, raising safety and legal concerns. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is now investigating almost three million Teslas following reports of traffic violations, crashes, and injuries linked to the Full Self-Driving system. Tesla's promotional talk about Mad Max mode's speed and smoothness has further fueled criticism, as the company faces questions about its adherence to safety laws. This controversy unfolds amidst allegations that Tesla's leadership has made it harder for regulators to oversee autonomous vehicles.
