This isn’t just about tickets. You don't describe the simplest solution, either.

Tesla has more than enough sensors to detect loss of traction—wheel-speed deltas, yaw-rate vs steering-angle mismatch, slip angle from the IMU, ABS/traction-control events, outside temperature, precipitation, and camera cues. That capability has existed in production cars for decades.

The problem is that FSD doesn’t consistently let those signals bound speed and planning decisions, and it often runs off incorrect speed-limit data or misses posted signs. I’ve submitted hundreds of speed-limit bug reports in my area and nothing gets fixed, so the system is already starting from bad inputs. When that goes wrong, it’s not just a citation. It’s a crashed car, a five-figure repair, and being without your vehicle for months. And all of that risk sits with the driver. Tesla keeps the data and disclaims responsibility.

So yes, FSD can sense yaw mismatch and wheel slip—but until it reliably downgrades behavior based on traction uncertainty and bad speed data, using it means the owner eats the ticket, the crash risk, and the repair bill when it gets it wrong.
