A pre-planned route != self-driving (in my opinion).
I say that because it's not driving itself, it's driving a route you plotted or recorded.
You can't take that same tractor and have it work on your neighbors pasture as-is, it has to be programmed.
But again, this is getting into a semantics debate. Personally I'd prefer to differentiate using autonomous and automated, self-driving is too ambiguous.
- wongarsu 4y agoBy that logic, am I driving the car while following the route plotted and dictated to me by Google Maps? What if it's all over two-lane freeways, so all I have to do is stay on track, not crash into the vehicle in front of me, and follow Google's instructions? And what if I then turn on adaptive cruise control? Am I still driving the car?
- hunterb123 4y agoSo you really think looking at a GPS and driving a car yourself and putting cruise control on makes a car self-driving? (hint: no, you are driving the car with assisted technology) I'll remember to cite this in the next Tesla thread when we discuss Autopilot and self-driving.
