The WSJ report sheds more light on the tension that exists between the Autopilot team and Musk. When Joshua Brown’s Model S announced September that all Autopilot ’s cars would be capable of “full autonomy” engineers who were working on the suite of self-driving features, known as Autopilot , did not believe the system was ready to safely control a car, according to a report by Tesla . Key employees have also reportedly left Tesla over concerns about how the company markets Autopilot as a “full self-driving” solution. A Tesla spokesperson referred to a disclaimer on the company’s website for Autopilot that reads “self-driving functionality is dependent upon extensive software validation and regulatory approval”.
