I guess it's now called "FSD (Supervised)" (with footnote: "Active driver supervision required; does not make the vehicle autonomous.")
What a silly and self-contradictory name. "Full", until it isn't.
- TheAlchemist 2y agoThe real reason for this change is probably that it allows them to recognize some FSD revenues this quarter - without that, the numbers would look even worse.
- kklisura 2y agoIs FSD recognized revenue part of "Automotive sales" or "Services and other" items?
- mrpippy 2y agoThe change happened in March, so the timing at least lines up. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-formally-drops-fsd-beta-moniker/ https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-formally-drops-fsd-beta-moni...
- hnburnsy 2y agoSame for Autopilot... >An autopilot is a system used to control the path of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems).
- yayitswei 2y agoWhich part of that definition doesn't fit Tesla's autopilot?

- hnburnsy 2y agosorry I mean 'autopilot' is also a silly and self-contradictory name.
- vel0city 2y agoAutopilot, meaning a system which will keep speed with the car in front of it and keep your car in the lane, is a pretty apt description of the system. Autopilot on an airplane will do what it can to keep the plane reasonably level, keep it on its set waypoints, and try to keep a constant speed. Isn't keeping the car in the lane and matching traffic a pretty similar comparison? Sure sounds to me like calling a decent ADAS system "autopilot" is pretty accurate.
