Elon Musk’s Tesla company is in turmoil. A federal jury in Florida has just recognized the autopilot system on board in the manufacturer’s vehicles as responsible for a fatal accident in Florida in 2019. The system had not made it possible to avoid the collision. Tesla is ordered to pay $ 243 million to the victims and their families.
The American company, which has liability for the drama to the driver of his vehicle, will appeal the decision. This extremely tense context around Tesla did not prevent Elon Musk from making a major announcement concerning the Full Self-Driving. A version 10 times more powerful of the FSD is approaching.
A Full Self-Driving 10 times more efficient arrives on Tesla vehicles in September
Does Elon Musk play the card of provocation? Make a thunderous announcement about Full Self-Driving while Tesla has just been condemned because of the autopilot looks like it. The billionaire announces that the Development of an FSD 10 times more efficient is underway.

Elon Musk does not give more details on the improvements made by this new version of the Full Self-Driving. It will probably not be necessary to wait very long in order to learn more since the Launch is scheduled for late September.
The boss of Tesla already sees the first fallout from his post on X. The action of the American company has climbed 2 % quickly after Elon Musk’s announcement.

A legal action brought mainly motivated by the failed launch of the Robotaxis in Austin last June. Vehicles outrageously flouted the Highway Code by taking on the wrong ways, en up on the sidewalks and driving at very high speed.
