Just for context what "Full Self-Driving" means:
> Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment. While these features are designed to become more capable over time, the currently enabled features do not make the vehicle autonomous. https://www.tesla.com/support/autopilot https://www.tesla.com/support/autopilot
Basically it's a student driver. And you're the instructor.

- lolc 6y agoIt's funny how the article calls this a step towards robotaxis next year.
- theluketaylor 6y agoI finally got a chance to drive with autopilot for an extended period and student driver is an excellent description. It made some very poor driving choices, notably hanging out the blind spots of other drivers when there was tons of room to avoid that. It did a fine job of keeping he car in the lane, but it did not practice active defensive driving.
- lolc 6y agoWell Tesla didn't say they selected for defensive drivers to train their software on. So maybe the software actually imitates poor choices seen in the training set.
