Tesla has brought back its controversial Mad Max driving mode for its Full Self-Driving system, allowing for faster speeds and more aggressive lane changes.

Introduced in 2018, the Mad Max mode aims to help cars navigate heavy traffic more assertively, but critics are concerned about its safety implications.

Tesla is facing scrutiny from regulators over the marketing and operation of its Autopilot and FSD systems, which have been linked to accidents and wrongful death claims.

Reports indicate that the reinstated mode has led to rolling stops and speeding violations, reminiscent of actions that prompted a recall in 2022.

Despite criticism, Tesla continues to promote Full Self-Driving as a pathway to fully autonomous driving, emphasizing the need for driver vigilance and readiness to take control at any time.
