Malicious reporting tightens its grip around one's neck. The times are rapidly shifting from hardware to software, and now to AI.
The following online article can be definitively categorized as a piece intended to manipulate impressions with malicious intent. If three years make a decade in traditional terms, in the world of AI, even a few months feel like an era. So why is it that Volvo’s model from over eight years ago and Tesla’s model from five years ago are being cited in current discussions? Tesla’s autonomous driving system has already transitioned to an AI-based model.
② Tesla Model 3 (2020 model) had its autonomous driving FSD (ADAS) at approximately Vr10.1. However, it has since undergone 105 updates, with the current version being Vr13.2.2. The system has evolved into something entirely different from what it was in 2020.
According to Elon Musk, Version 12 released on November 24, 2023, differs significantly from Version 11, as it is built entirely on a neural network. Up until Version 11, Tesla’s autonomous driving software operated similarly to conventional systems, relying on human-created rules and algorithms. Starting with Version 12, such code was eliminated, leading to a revolutionary transformation driven entirely by AI learning through neural networks.

"Are Vehicle Driver Assistance Systems Actually Dangerous? U.S. Research Reveals Shocking Findings"
(Published: Wednesday, December 25, 14:11)
Evolution of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS):
The European Union (EU): Mandating specific ADAS installations in new vehicles from July 2024.
Key features include adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assistance, and driver attention alerts.
Overview of U.S. Study:
Vehicles Studied:
Volvo S90 (2017 model)
Tesla Model 3 (2020 model)
Study Duration: Four weeks
Participants: 29 for Volvo, 14 for Tesla
Study Results (Volvo S90):
Increased Distracted Behavior: Participants engaged in eating, grooming, and using electronic devices while driving.
Distracted Driving Time: About 30% of driving time was spent distracted.
Complacency: The more drivers became accustomed to the system, the less attentive they were.
Study Results (Tesla Model 3):
Total Distance Driven: Approximately 19,000 km.
Warnings Issued: A total of 3,858 warnings, nearly half related to the torque sensor failing to detect pressure on the steering wheel.
Driver Reaction: Reaction time to warnings shortened by about 0.5 seconds after the first week. However, drivers still frequently lost focus shortly after responding to warnings.
Key Challenges:
Complacency Risks: Drivers became conditioned to respond reflexively to warnings but spent more time distracted overall, diminishing the meaningful time spent focusing on driving.
Adaptation Risks: Human learning led to habitual avoidance of warnings, reducing the effectiveness of safety measures.
Proposed Solutions:
Strengthening multi-modal attention systems and introducing innovations such as random warnings.
Future Considerations:
As technology advances toward "Level 4" autonomous driving, maintaining driver awareness remains essential.
Conclusion of the study: While ADAS is critical in supporting safe driving, it should not be overly relied upon, and driver vigilance is indispensable.
★★★Malicious Intent of the Article:
This research was conducted under organizations like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), which operates under the Democratic Party’s influence in the U.S., suggesting that Tesla has been unfairly targeted and pressured (reflecting the Democratic Party’s malice). This context likely motivated Elon Musk’s support for oil-backed Donald Trump, whose stance is the polar opposite of his own beliefs, as a reaction against the Democrats.
Since the release of Tesla's FSD V12 in November 2023, AI-based autonomous driving has been developing rapidly, with performance improving exponentially. If this acceleration continues, achieving Level 4 autonomous driving by the end of 2025 seems highly likely. Vehicles without steering wheels or pedals could become a reality by late 2026 to early 2027, potentially reaching Level 5 autonomy.
At that point, the value of vehicles will transform entirely, creating new paradigms. The survival odds of traditional automakers like Japan’s legacy companies, which epitomize the old economy, appear extraordinarily slim.
