"However, Musk announced at the Annual Shareholder Meeting in early November that the company would look at the statistics, but it aimed to allow people to text and drive "within the next month or two." He said: "I am confident that, within the next month or two, we're gonna look at the safety statistics, but we will allow you to text and drive.""
"Tesla Full Self-Driving, even in its most mature and capable versions, is still a Level 2 autonomous driving suite, meaning it requires attention from the vehicle operator. You cannot sleep, and you should not take attention away from driving; ultimately, you are still solely responsible for what happens with the car. The vehicles utilize a cabin-facing camera to enable attention monitoring, and if you take your eyes off the road for too long, you will be admonished and advised to pay attention. After five strikes, FSD and Autopilot will be disabled."
Full Self-Driving v14.2.1 allows texting while driving depending on surrounding traffic. FSD remains a Level 2 system requiring active driver attention and placing ultimate responsibility on the operator. A cabin-facing camera monitors attention and issues warnings when eyes leave the road; five attention strikes disable FSD and Autopilot. A timeline indicated review of safety statistics within one to two months prior to enabling texting. The current build is reported to permit texting in appropriate traffic contexts. U.S. laws in all 50 states prohibit texting while driving, creating unresolved legal and enforcement questions.
