You’re really grasping at straws with the Audi thing. First it was something that has never been said, and now a word for “four” is confusing for naming a four wheel drive system.
Full Self Driving would be acceptable and accurate for level 5.
Now for level 2 advanced driver assistance.
“The driver is only in the seat for legal reasons. The car is driving itself” is a current Tesla statement. That’s inaccurate.
“The car is driving itself until it can’t, or it does something it shouldn’t. But you’re in charge, and we legally disclaim any responsibility for failures of the car to drive itself” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, I admit.
- onethought 5y agoNot clutching at straws. Using a direct comparison to a competing car company on marketing terms. If we are okay with companies calling features whatever they want. Then FSD is fine. If we aren’t, then let’s get the outrage train going on the entire car industry.
- FireBeyond 5y agoYour original phrasing was "misleading" and "confusing". "Quattro" may be vague, at worst, but I challenge you to define how it is either of those things.
- onethought 5y agoMisleading: it originally referred to a rally car model made by Audi but is used to describe 4WD. It is usually advertised with shots of said rally car driving in a now illegal rally race. Not misleading or confusing at all. I’m glad people focused on Audi’s Quattro out of my examples because it’s honestly the worst one.
