Wait, so in your mind products need to have “working” in their name in order to be held to the standard of … working? I don’t understand what you’re trying to argue at all. They’re calling and selling this product as “full self driving”. It’s not full self driving. It doesn’t need to be called “working full self driving” in order for it to be misleading.
No, the other user is claiming that they don’t have a “working” full self driving but is being vague about what they mean by “working”.
Full Self Driving is just the name of the software. There’s also autopilot but that’s different. The end goal of it is to eventually be capable of level 5 self driving so that’s why it’s named like that even though it has been a work in progress all of it’s existence. Wouldn’t make much sense to call it “partial self driving under supervision” because Full Self Driving is a better marketing term. Misleading? Well yeah perhaps but that’s what marketing teams do. Nothing new there. Not a single Tesla owner is under the illusion that you can just enable the system and take a nap. Doesn’t mean people don’t do that but they know that they shouldn’t. The system tells you that every single time you enable it.
Personally I don’t see a huge issue with that name. It’s level 2 meaning that it needs driver supervision and it’s by no means flawless but it does what the name implies: drives itself. It’s not just an advanced cruise control like for example the Mercedes Drive Pilot but it is actually capable of independently driving itself and especially with the V12 it’s actually getting quite good at it.
