Autopilot “is not a self-driving technology and does not replace the driver,” Tesla said in response to a 2020 case filed in Florida. “The driver can and must still brake, accelerate and steer just as if the system is not engaged.”
Tesla’s terminology is so confusing. If “Autopilot” isn’t self-driving technology, does that mean it’s different from “Full Self Driving”? And if so, is “Full Self Driving” also not a self-driving technology?
I heard Elon Musk call it: “Assisted full self driving”. Which doesn’t make any sense. LOL
The self in this equation is you. You’re driving your self around. Full self driving 😉
oy that’s a good one. 😋
its called “Full Self Driving (Supervised)” now
The term autopilot comes from aviation, where the only kind of problem resolution an autopilot does is turning itself off.
Other than that, it just flies from checkpoint to checkpoint.
If only we could implement similar testing protocols to the aviation version to validate it’s safety!
A full NTSB investigation for every single crash? I’m all for it!
You can’t call something Full Self Driving or Autopilot and then blame the driver. If you want to blame the driver then call it drive asist.
Right! That’s why you have the FSD turn it over to the driver the moment a crash is unavoidable to make the driver liable.
“at the time of the crash, the driver was in full control”
(but not a couple seconds before)
I think Tesla should rename Auto Pilot to Darwin Award Mode.
And improve motorcycle detection as well as use LIDAR.
It’s not that Teslas are killing their owners. Teslas are killing first responders to road accidents, kids getting off buses and motorcyclists. We’re all exposed to the problems caused by Musk cutting out testing to save some money.
The customers pay extra in order to be beta testers. Best deal ever!
I like calling it cruise control with extra fatalities.
You’re also responsible for what you do when you’re drunk! Guess what. You cannot purchase ethical excuses. That’s YOUR Tesla. You own it. You’re in charge of it regardless of whether or not Tesla makes it impossible to access the controls.
Buyer beware. Stop buying proprietary garbage, ya idiots.
