Weird way to defend a company that did exactly that.
October 2014
Tesla starts equipping Model S sedans with hardware that can automate some steering, braking, and acceleration functions. Although the software is not yet active, it calls the feature Autopilot. -Consumer Reports
Autopilot, how it's sold, does not equate to "tech demo" in any circumstance, context or scenario. It's marketing garbage to sell more cars by mislabeling a feature that may exist a decade later.
Now that we're a decade later, it's still not what it was promised, but ok!
- wilg 3y agoI don't know what you're talking about. Autopilot did "automate some steering, braking, and acceleration functions" and was released in 2015. This conversation is about a different feature called FSD, of which a tech demo video was shown in 2016. My car can currently do everything that was shown in that tech demo.
