Tesla remains committed to improving its Autopilot system, despite safety concerns and a recent safety probe. The company is set to remotely patch 2 million vehicles following the probe, aiming to enhance user interface alerts and simplify Autosteer engagement. However, the reliability of Autopilot continues to be questioned, with reports of serious accidents. The broader automotive industry is grappling with challenges, including a slowdown in EV sales and a significant drop in used EVs' value. Additionally, EV owners are not driving enough, which could impact emissions reductions efforts. As the industry faces scrutiny over robotaxi services and new laws restricting EV fleet deliveries, discussions about alternative pathways for emissions reductions are emerging.
