    Cybertruck crash raises alarm bells about Tesla's self-driving
    software

    A crash involving a Tesla opens new tab Cybertruck in self-driving
    mode this week has sparked worries about the reliability of the
    company's software that powers the feature, days after CEO Elon Musk
    said he would roll out a paid robotaxi service this year.

    The pickup, the latest model in Tesla's lineup, failed to merge out of
    a lane that was ending, hit the curb and crashed into a pole in
    Nevada's Reno city while on its Full Self-Driving feature, which still
    requires a human in control behind the wheel.

    Tesla has for years faced criticism and investigations over the safety
    of its advanced driver assistance software following several crashes,
    including a fatal one.

    But Musk late last month said people skeptical of the technology
    should try it now, touting the "immense improvement" in the safety
    profile of its latest iteration called Version 13.
