From Tesla: > 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 that of a human driver. I should note that both Tesla and you stress hardware capability, not software. Tesla mopes around the bushes with phrases like "awaiting regulatory approval". If Tesla does actually mean "we've got all the gadgets but the software isn't there yet", they have a serious marketing issue. To the layperson, everything they say makes it sound like their car will make you breakfast, drive you to work and take the kids to school. Seems like they're not there and it's not just regulation holding them up. At the shallow end, it's misleading advertising, at worst it means people are putting their and their passengers' lives at serious risk. I would not be surprised if we start seeing mandated health warnings accompany semi-autonomous vehicle adverts, spelling out exactly what they can and cannot do.
