So it's basically lane assist + cruise control but stops working if you look away? I'm not going to pay 7500 €/$ for that. The whole purpose of self-driving for me would be to be able to stretch my arms or do something small on my phone every now and then. I'm totally fine if the car is uber careful and drives super slow or parks on the shoulder if it is not 100% sure what to do, and I'm also fine if it says "Attention! You have to take over in 15 seconds or something bad happens." But having the option to not pay attention for a couple of minutes is the whole point of self-driving for me. Unless they get that working on the Autobahn (maybe just in good weather, no congestion, reasonable speeds) it's just a toy.
Edit: meant "self-driving" as opposed to theoretical FSD.
- spdif899 3y agoThis article and discussion are specifically regarding base autopilot, not FSD.
- captainmuon 3y agoYeah I mixed up the terms but I was talking about things like autopilot. My point was even if you don't have "door-to-door good as a human driver really fully self-driving", the main feature of self-driving is that you should be able to not pay attention for a while. Personally I'm not sure that "proper" FSD will even be possible in the near future.
- averageRoyalty 3y agoThat's fine. But it's not meant to be self driving, and it isn't a paid extra. You still need to be attentive, you just get to stop "operating" for a while.
