Comment on Tesla recalls nearly all vehicles sold in US to fix system that monitors drivers using Autopilot
DreadPotato@sopuli.xyz 9 months agoIt handles the same roads and conditions as pretty much all other manufacturers do with their TACC+Lane-Assist solutions. It maintains distance to vehicles ahead, and keeps the car centered in the lane on straight road and gentle curves…nothing more, nothing less.
The issue is people using this simple ADAS way outside it’s constraints, and wanting it to be more than it is, and is advertised as. Autopilot is not a self driving solution, and isn’t advertised as it either.

Sounds like Tesla should market it as adaptive cruise and lane assist, since clearly their clientel think autopilot means autonomous driving.
We’re getting to the point where these features might need to be locked behind a specific driving license designation. Drivers need to demonstrate to a proctor that they understand where the systems do and do not work.
