That depends on your definition of driving, for example, take the dictionary definition:
"To guide, control, or direct (a vehicle)."
My car has driver assistance features, it can do basic lane keeping, keep a set distance behind the car in front (even in stop and go traffic), and has emergency braking assistance. But no one would say that it's self-driving.
Tesla FSD can control the car from entering the highway to taking your exit (plus some support for driving on smaller streets).
But it's not autonomous, hands-free driving.
- koyote 5y agoI am not sure I understand the argument here as what you said highlights that Tesla's FSD is not fully self driving. Taking the dictionary definition of fully: "completely or entirely; to the fullest extent" I would expect a fully self-driving car to drive for the entirety of any trip I wish to take. Anything less than that I would consider as "partial".
- Johnny555 5y agoThe car can fully self drive -- it has full control over steering and brakes, can pass other cars and even enter/exit the highway. My car has limited self-driving, it can only do limited lane keeping or keeping distance from the car in front.
- koyote 5y agoSo you're defining it as the capability to automate steering, accelerator and brake? (i.e. the three things that constitute driving) By that definition self-parking cars can also fully self-drive. My definition of driving is being able to do all the tasks required to pass a driving test, i.e. driving around a city (intersections, roundabouts etc.), motorway, country road and car parks.
