This goes to the core problem of the Tesla self driving system though - it's designed to encourage stupid people to do stupid things. Yes, it's a funny idea, but what this guy has actually done is go out and operated a motor vehicle recklessly and put everyone around him in danger. In my country it's highly likely this driver would be prosecuted for a number of offences if they could identify him (which I'm guessing wouldn't be that tricky).
- _ea1k 3y agoThis vehicle doesn't have "self driving" or even auto steer. At most, he's steering it with his knees.
- SilverBirch 3y agoWut? Tesla's releasing vehicles without the self driving? That can't be right can it?
- _ea1k 3y agoYeah, it is really weird. TBH, I expected them to ship without "FSD", but was really surprised to see that even basic AP hasn't been enabled. I think it is because of the significantly different vehicle size and camera position.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoAFAICT, AP hasn't changed in the last 2 years. I'm not surprised they didn't update the old AP based on an old stack for Cybertruck since they probably think that old stack will be thrown away soon. I imagine they'll first update FSD for the cybertruck, then nerf the new FSD to create a new AP for Cybertruck, and then the new AP will trickle down to other Tesla models.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoFSD is an option, an expensive one at that. I’m pretty sure most Tesla buyers aren’t getting it ATM.
- firecall 3y ago“Autopilot comes standard on every new Tesla” So unless I’m missing something, the Cybertruck has basic Autopilot; the Autosteer (Beta) at least. With the option to upgrade to Teslas full system. Given the truck is driving down a straight wide road, the standard Autosteer is very capable and competent. It doesn’t excuse the driver though. But I’d guess this video is some sort of stunt for internet points?
