The media is constantly bringing together the terms autopilot, and driverless or self-driving cars. There's definitely the suggestion that the driver is completely unnecessary. You can't expect the average Joe to look this up. It should clearly be marked as beta and dangerous without supervision.
Also Tesla says so themselves:
>All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than...
- chc 9y agoAFAIK Autopilot is clearly marked as a beta and displays a dialog reminding you of that when you activate it in your car. And "full self-driving capability" is not a reference to Autopilot — it's saying that Tesla eventually plans to implement full self-driving (as a separate feature) and the car includes hardware that will allow you to enable it with just a software upgrade.
- jonathankoren 9y agoMarking something as beta is a bullshit CYA move. If it was truly a beta test, it wouldn't be in wide public release. A car is not a web app. It just isn't. This behavior literally wouldn't fly at say Boeing, or anywhere else that makes machines people's trust their lives to.
