It’s doublespeak. To regulators Tesla claims level 2 but for customers they brand it as literally “Full Self Driving Beta.” That way they can avoid any unpleasant regulatory certifications of the actual capability of their system.
“Just weight the steering wheel and it’s basically level 3!” - probably something a Tesla salesperson has said to a prospective buyer
- extropy 6y agoThe "levels" beyond 2 are do not add any new driving features, but rather shift the legal responsibility increasingly to the manufacturer. So Tesla has a choice of no unprotected left turns, HD mapped area only or go full in. And they are choosing the full in route which is very Elon's style. And allow them to roll out beta quality features quickly and iterate. I agree it's a PR nightmare right now. I hope they will eventually recertify the current cars as L3+, but for the regular user that will only mean they can now officially take eyes off the road and only look when it beeps.
