Tesla Full Self-Driving Linked to Speeding Ticket, User Says Software Fix Was Removed
A driver reports that Tesla disabled a speed-limiting setting after the incident.
A Tesla owner is reporting that the company's Full Self-Driving feature was involved in a speeding ticket, and that Tesla subsequently removed a speed-limiting setting the driver had been using.
What Happened
According to the account published on Electrek, the driver's experience with Tesla's Full Self-Driving system resulted in a speeding citation. The driver had been relying on a speed-setting feature within the FSD software to help manage velocity. After the incident, Tesla removed access to that setting, according to the report.
Why It Matters
The incident raises questions about how drivers interact with advanced driver-assistance systems and where responsibility lies when traffic violations occur. For owners and prospective buyers, the case highlights potential gaps in understanding how FSD handles speed management and what controls drivers actually retain while using the feature.
The Bottom Line
Tesla's Full Self-Driving remains a Level 2 driver-assistance system requiring active driver supervision. This reported incident underscores ongoing questions about system behavior, user settings, and accountability as ADAS features become more widely deployed.
