Comment on Tesla whistleblower calls cars with Autopilot “experiments in public roads”
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 year agoEnhanced Autopilot is very popular. All the hardware is already installed on the car, it just needs to be unlocked by purchasing the subscription in the app. The Full Self Driving package is also unlockable via a software subscription. FSB will be out of beta soon, but advanced autopilot has been a popular purchase for many years. It’s one of the main reasons people buy a Telsa. It is most definitely not on “practically zero” Teslas.
As for “according to whom” - you replied to my comment about my experience with autopilot. So according to me.
Advanced autopilot did some frightening stuff during the little time I spent driving a model 3. I really wanted to like the model 3 and was expecting to whip out my checkbook, but that test drive scared the shit out of my wife and I. It made some very dangerous lane changes and summon almost hit a kid in a parking lot. The latter is definitely widely reported. I’m not the only person to have experienced that problem.

I know all of this but I’m not sure why you’re telling me…
LOL what are you talking about? Where are you getting this from? Elon? Autopilot isn’t even out of Beta…
It’s absolutely not. If the few people I know who actually bought it, they were pretty much all disappointed and don’t use it.
I replied to your comment about the engineer speaking specifically about “Enhanced Autopilot” as opposed to what the article refers to as “Autopilot”.
What is your source for that? Because everything I can see says “autopilot”.
Once again, there’s no such thing as “advanced autopilot”, and once again, that’s not what we’re discussing.
