Comment on Tesla must face fraud suit for claiming its cars could fully drive themselves
Buffalox@lemmy.world 4 months agoNo it was not, we have testimony from employees that FSD wasn’t even close to what Musk claimed. And it can’t even do it today.
Just because you can flip a switch that says FSD doesn’t mean it works.

Again, we’re arguing about the definition of “working” which was my original point.
Can it self drive? yes
Should it? no

That argument is stupid. My robot lawn mower “can drive itself” but it can’t follow traffic rules and would crash after a while if set to drive on its own in a road. Just as a Tesla. What Musk was implying was “it can drive itself without violating traffic rules and causing crashes” and clearly it can’t.

I think FSD is further along than you think it is

Well yes, but the end result after driving unattented in traffic for a while is the same still, that’s the point.

This is the issue with all these debates currently. The people arguing against FSD are totally unaware of how far it has come since just a few months ago. They have already made up their minds based on how much it sucked a year ago and they’re under the illusion that it’s at best just marginally better today. I love watching the YouTube channel CYBRLFT and seeing people’s minds getting blown in real time when they realize that what they’ve heard on the news and on social media is so far from the reality.
Is it perfect? No. Is it unbelieveably good? Yes.

That’s like saying a car with cruise control can self drive.
The Tesla cannot self drive by any reasonable meaning of the term.
