As such, he was the emergency response operator following one of the test vehicles being sideswiped by another vehicle at 2:05 a.m. on Sunday, March 30, 2025.

It's worth noting that between 2016 and 2021, Consumer Reports ranked Tesla as the least reliable used car brand long term, but that has steadily improved over time. Tesla maintains a tracker that shares how many full self-driving miles its vehicles have traveled — under supervision — which is currently over 12 billion and counting.
