Teslas driving themselves hit objects all the time.

- mwint 5y agoThis was all not FSD beta; those were all on the completely separate public stack.
- mwint 5y agoThis is kinda fascinating - factually true statements about FSD are blanket downvoted. Why is that?
- freeone3000 5y ago"autopilot" versus "full self driving* capable" versus "full self driving" versus "autonomous mode" seems like marketing hype instead of actual improvements. After all, "autopilot" was supposed to drive itself, so what's the new one do differently?
- toast0 5y agoSo, devil's advocate. We know the Autopilot ignores stationary objects, so a lane with a parked vehicle (emergency or otherwise) is therefore a reasonable place to travel at the set speed on the cruise control, etc. But, I believe this discussion is about the new FSD software which is supposed to be more capable. Have we had reports about the new one doing the old tricks?
