Comment on Lawsuits test Tesla claim that drivers are solely responsible for crashes

  Those are really crappy names. How about “driver assist” and “supervised self driving”? Drop the “supervised” once they’re ready to market it as real self driving.

    FSD is called Full Self-Driving (Supervised) nowdays.

    Autopilot can be seen as a misleading term but that has more to do with people not understanding what autopilot on airplanes actually does which is quite similar to what it does on Teslas aswell.

      Autopilot isn’t being marketed to aviation enthusiasts nor is it a plane so it doesn’t matter how autopilot in planes works it matters what the perception is. They could have used a more appropriate term like advanced cruise control

  FSD is just a lie because its a description of a product they intend to develop not something that exists on the car you are buying now

    What’s your definition of self-driving system then if the current one doesn’t qualify?

      The car being able to get to their destination using the public road network without a single person being in it, while fully complying with the law and road safety.

        Well, the current version of FSD can do that. It’s just not approved for unsupervised driving (level 3) so that’s why the driver still needs to be there to be ready to take over at any moment. The current version of it near-perfectly mimics a human driver. I highly recommend to check reviews on YouTube for the version 12. It’s quite impressive.

      The one where Tesla is responsible if there is an accident (but this user blocks people critical of Tesla, so probably won’t see this message).

  Specifically Auto Pilot is lane keep and traffic aware cruise control (it will slow down if you’re going faster than the car in front) FSD adds auto lane changes (it can do it by itself or the driver can initiate with the turn signals), makes turns necessary to follow navigation. It does a pretty decent job on freeways.

  That they are working on now is getting FSD to work better on city streets and secondary highways
