Tesla Now Recommends Sleepy Drivers Try FSD - CleanTechnica
The article discusses a recent Tesla software update (version 2025.32.3) that introduces new alerts recommending drivers who show signs of drowsiness or lane drifting to activate Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. These alerts appear when the vehicle is manually operated and detect driver fatigue or lane departure through cabin cameras and sensors. The messaging encourages drivers to "Let FSD assist so you can stay focused" or "Stay focused with FSD," suggesting the system as a safety net when driver alertness is compromised. This update raises a notable contradiction in Tesla’s positioning of FSD. While Tesla emphasizes that drivers must remain fully attentive and ready to take control at any moment, the new alerts imply that FSD can compensate for reduced driver alertness, such as fatigue or distraction. This dual messaging could represent a step toward proactive safety by offering assistance when human performance declines, but it also poses challenges in balancing marketing, regulatory scrutiny, and real-world driver behavior.

Chinese automaker Chery is set to launch its flagship plug-in hybrid sedan, the Fulwin A9L, in China in early July 2025, with a global rollout planned for the first quarter of 2026. The Fulwin A9L, competing in the mid-to-large sedan segment against models like BYD’s Han DM-i, features Chery’s Kunpeng Super Hybrid Electric 6.0 system paired with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 33.7 kWh lithium iron phosphate Kunpeng Blade Battery. This setup delivers a pure electric range of up to 161 miles and a combined total range of approximately 1,243 miles, making it notable for its long-distance efficiency. The vehicle also incorporates advanced driver assistance technologies, including a suite of 27 sensors and the Orin Y 200T computing platform, enabling semi-autonomous features such as Navigate on Autopilot and intelligent obstacle avoidance.
