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!
