Alpha would imply it isn't done yet. Beta would imply that it's feature complete, but still potentially has bugs that need to be worked out.

- tshaddox 6y agoIt’s kinda hard to make the distinction for a software system that controls a car. One important feature is for there to not be any of a large class of bugs.
- ncallaway 6y agoHa, sure, I agree that the roads aren't a place to beta test software. But the fact that Musk describes it as not autonomous driving and still Level 2 driver assistant, and won't be autonomous driving for a while tells strikes me as specifically not feature complete. To me, a beta for fully for autonomous driving vehicles would be a Level 4 or 5 capable vehicle that is restricted to Level 3 or 4 while the system tests and verifies the capabilities.
