In an interview with CNN, Steve Wozniak did not fail to criticize Tesla and Elon Musk on their autonomous driving technologies. The Apple co-founder has expressed concerns about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence (AI) and the risks associated with self-driving Tesla vehicles.
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, criticized Tesla and Elon Musk in an interview given To CNNhighlighting the risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous driving of the brand’s vehicles.
“Buy a Tesla if you want to see how AI can kill you”
According to Steve Wozniak, if anyone wants to understand the risks associated with AI and the possibility that it can cause fatal accidents, just buy a Tesla.

He added that Tesla’s self-driving technology, Autopilot, has been implicated in several fatal crashes. One of the most notorious incidents took place in 2018, when an Apple engineer lost his life in a collision involving the Autopilot of his Tesla.
Elon Musk’s broken promises
Wozniak also mentioned his disappointment with Elon Musk’s broken promises, including allowing Tesla cars to drive alone across the country by the end of 2016. The Apple co-founder said he believed once in the possibility of making Tesla cars fully autonomous through a software update, but that ” is not even close to reality ».
This isn’t the first time Steve Wozniak has expressed his skepticism towards Tesla and its self-driving technologies. He previously shared a negative experience with his Model S’s autopilot, which caused “phantom braking” and a sudden reduction in his vehicle’s speed.
Despite their differences, Steve Wozniak and Elon Musk seem to share some concerns about the dangers of AI. The two men signed an open letter calling for a halt to the development of new language models to prevent the potentially catastrophic effects of GPT-4-like AIs on society.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has revealed he never had the opportunity to chat with Elon Musk. After his recent interview, one wonders if such a meeting will ever take place. Steve Wozniak nevertheless acknowledged his admiration for certain achievements of Elon Musk, in particular the development of electric vehicles.
Wozniak’s words may seem excessive. Although accidents involving Teslas have made headlines, investigations have often found that the Autopilot system was rarely at fault. Human negligence is generally cited as the cause of these sometimes fatal accidents. This does not mean that Tesla’s FSD driving system does not present problems in its behavior on the open road. Successive updates show improvements, but it remains difficult to blindly trust the capabilities of the AI developed by Tesla.
It is also worth pointing out that Teslas are among the safest vehicles in the world, largely thanks to their ADAS system. ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, is a set of driving aids that improves driver safety and comfort. At Tesla, this system is frequently referred to as Autopilot (different from FSD).
