The primary issue lies in the terminology used by Tesla. “Autopilot” and “Full Self-Driving” have been criticized for implying a higher level of autonomy than what is currently achievable. Tesla’s Autopilot is an advanced driver-assistance system that can steer, accelerate, and brake within its lane, but it still requires drivers to remain attentive and ready to take over at any time. The FSD package includes additional features such as the ability to recognize and respond to traffic signals, make lane changes, and navigate city streets, but it too requires active driver supervision.

Enriching lawyers.

Wouldn’t have had the possibility of enriching lawyers if the marketing wasn’t so scummy.

Oh well. I use a bit of FSD every day. It’s not perfect but it takes a lot of work out of being stuck in traffic that’s barely moving. Set it and relax.

I don’t really care if it’s full or not. Just handling traffic is enough to make my commute far more pleasant.
