I think testing these systems on public roads is 100% reasonable if we all have open access to data. I’m not talking about raw driving data, but aggregate metrics about how well the system is operating and limitations are clearly communicated.
Selling a customer a car with a “full self driving” feature while burying the actual functionality in a legal agreement displayed on screen in the vehicle.
- simondotau 5y agoThat misrepresents how Tesla sells FSD. The actual current functionality is shown in clear bullet points at the time of sale. It is not buried in a legal agreement.
- clouddrover 5y agoFSD? Tesla sells full self-driving? Does Tesla have a product that does actual full self-driving?
- simondotau 5y agoGiven that “full self driving“ isn’t a formally defined term, your question is not one with a concrete answer. It’s just a name. It’s clear to anyone buying the product what it does. Nobody need to explain that Starburst candies don’t literally cause stars to burst. (For what it’s worth, while I think criticism of the “autopilot” name is patently absurd, I do agree that FSD isn't a very good name and it would have been better if it were something else.)
- clouddrover 5y ago> Given that “full self driving“ isn’t a formally defined term, your question is not one with a concrete answer. Don't make me laugh. Everyone knows what it's supposed to mean and Tesla hasn't delivered it. It's embarrassing to witness you even trying that on.
- revscat 5y agoThis [1] is a screenshot I just took from the "build your vehicle" section of Tesla's website. It took me one click, and scrolling down one page, to get to this point. How is that "burying the actual functionality"? It's right there! [1] https://imgur.com/9IUJW1B https://imgur.com/9IUJW1B
