SoftBank-backed fintech Zopa aims to double profit this year as it eyes 2025 current account launch The "preliminary evaluation" by the NHTSA pertains to a vehicle population of around 2.4 million Tesla EVs on U.S. roads including: Model S and X vehicles produced from 2016 to 2024, Model 3 vehicles produced from 2017 to 2024, Model Y vehicles produced from 2020 to 2024, and Cybertruck vehicles produced this year and last, which give drivers the option to use Tesla's FSD. FSD, which the company now refers to as a "partial driving automation system," is Tesla's paid, premium driver assistance option. But Tesla has offered it to all drivers for a monthlong free trial in the U.S., previously. The U.S. federal vehicle safety regulator tracks collisions involving the use of automakers' advanced driver assistance systems, like Tesla's Autopilot or FSD. As of Oct. 1, 2024, the NHTSA had tracked 1,399 incidents in which Tesla's driver assistance systems were engaged within 30 seconds of the collision, and 31 of those had resulted in fatalities. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company recently held a marketing event in which CEO Elon Musk said Tesla expects to have "unsupervised FSD" up and running in Texas and California next year in the company's Model 3 and Model Y electric vehicles. Musk has promised driverless vehicles for years. But Tesla has not yet produced or shown a vehicle that is safe to use on public roads without a human at the wheel, ready to steer or brake at any time.
