Not just a Tesla problem as I recon all cars using lane markings will have done the same. My Passat will constantly try to pull me into off-ramps or whenever theres old paint or other weird markings.
- amelius 9y agoWhen exactly did we start to allow these half-baked products on the road?
- dx034 9y agoOther manufacturers market that product for collision avoidance, not to drive the car for you. These features can help to avoid accidents when the driver is tired or doesn't pay attention.
- simion314 9y agoAnd then some SV startups decided to abuse people trust and named a lane assist feature as autopilot, put tons of marketing into showing how great the autopilot is and very soon we will no need to have a human driver.
- dx034 9y agoBut the difference is that other car manufacturers deliberately don't label it Autopilot. They call it "lane assist" (or similar). That makes clear that it keeps you in the lane, not that it drives the car for you. I.e., without proper lanes it cannot work. I don't think Tesla's capabilities are the issue, their marketing is. They should've never called it Autopilot if it's just the standard adaptive cruise control + lane assist that nearly all manufacturers offer.

- simion314 9y agoAt least is not named autopilot and hyped to extreme, if you check the Tesla reddit you will see that the problem is excused and the driver is using the car wrong.
