  And that would is probably one of the indicators of why lawsuit is allowed to proceed and might be won in the end.

    Musk defined it himself, as being able to drive from a parking lot across the country to pick you up in another parking lot.

      and they could do that in theory, just not very safely

        In theory is not the same as actually being able to do it, which was what he clearly claimed saying: And we can do that NOW.

      It can do that now. Probably not with zero driver interventions especially when talking about a trip across the country but Tesla is the only vehicle manufacturer today that offers this capability. There’s a dude on YouTube doing ridesharing with Tesla using FSD and with the latest software version it completes 90% of the trips from the pickup to the destination without intervention from the driver.

        OK?

        Probably not with zero driver interventions

        Oh so it can’t.

        Musk also said more safely than a human being. I’ve seen videos with FSD creating numerous dangerous situations on a single trip, that required intervention. Suddenly turning into opposite traffic, not minding right of way in crosses, and even turning straight towards parked cars, when the lane it was in was unobstructed!!

        There is no way it can be reasonably argued that Tesla has working full self driving.

  Yeah. He explicitly stated that the only thing stopping them flipping the switch were those damn pesky road laws

    Which I’m sure was true. It would certainly be a lot faster to debug FSD after a number of deaths for each bug.

  Forget Tesla dude! Trust me I’m from the year 2024. In just a few months your world will change drastically and everyone will start getting 😷 sick and wearing a mask. We called it COVID 19 and it was bad. Real bad. The only way to fight this pandemic was to isolate as much as possible until a vaccine was made available. The markets never crashed like Trump suggested… almost as if he knew something was happening…you must invest all your money on moderna and Pfizer vaccine related stocks. Anyway, that’s all I remember. Paxlovid was okay but not a vaccine. Wow, Lemmy let’s you time travel! We need to invest into this technology!
