Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), the world’s leading manufacturer of electric vehicles by a wide margin, remains embroiled in a worsening tug-of-war with concerned authorities over the supposed efficacy and safety of its semi-autonomous driving system, dubbed the Autopilot.

The National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) has long maintained a critical stance on Tesla’s use of the Full Self-Driving (FSD) labeling for the Autopilot’s enhanced features. Today, as per the reporting by publications such as Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, the regulator went a step ahead on its ongoing crusade when its chairwoman, Jennifer Homendy, termed the FSD labeling “misleading and irresponsible” and urged Tesla to address ongoing safety concerns via-a-vis the Autopilot before introducing new features.
