Unfortunately, the entire thread is people who don't understand that Autopilot and Full Self Driving are not the same thing. Autopilot comes with the vehicle, and is simply a lane-assist system. It explicitly tells you it will not brake the vehicle when activated. This driver was using Autopilot.
Full Self Driving is an expensive upgrade, and the driver wasn't using it.
But not to worry, the conflation of the two is driving dozens of confident, self-assured statements in this thread that are embarrassingly off-the-mark.
- rvz 5y agoHave you both proven that the so called 'driver monitoring systems' used for Autopilot and FSD not only doesn't work, but it neither properly checks that the driver behind the wheel is paying attention with their eyes on the road? Perhaps that why these days both of these systems are open to abuse constantly by the driver without the car monitoring them and hence the cause of these crashes regardless if it is autopilot or FSD.
