Tesla "Mad Max" mode has gotten its first bit of regulatory attention, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has asked for additional information on the Speed Profile. A few weeks ago, Tesla officially launched a new Speed Profile for Full Self-Driving (Supervised) known as "Mad Max," which overtook the "Hurry" mode for the fastest setting FSD offers.

The automaker's driver-assistance software is becoming more robust, and Musk claims it's almost good enough to take the training wheels off. By the end of the year, Tesla believes it will be able to remove the safety driver from its car. Tesla says its Full Self-Driving software is finally growing up. But much like a teenager with a learner's permit, the software isn't quite ready to be left unsupervisedyet.

Tesla Full Self-Driving just got an insurance offer from Lemonade Co-founder and President Shai Wininger that might be too good to pass up, as he wants to insure vehicles on FSD for "almost free." Traditionally, Tesla vehicles are slightly more expensive to insure with traditional companies because of higher repair costs that stem from their technology and state-of-the-art structural battery design.

Still, "Full Self-Driving (Supervised) requires you to pay attention to the road and be ready to take over at all times," the manual states. "Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage, serious injury or death." Now, however, new in-car messaging urges drivers who are drifting between lanes or feeling drowsy to turn on FSD—potentially confusing drivers, which experts claim could encourage them to use the feature in an unsafe way.
