>How can Tesla claim self driving

Autopilot and self driving are two distinct things.



Are you saying that Tesla shouldn't claim to have a "Full Self Driving" feature if it's still not autonomous? Because they do.

"Will the FSD computer make my car fully autonomous?

Not yet. All Tesla cars require active driver supervision and are not autonomous. "

Not to the average, non-technical person.


I consider myself a pretty technical person and I don't know the difference. Are they not synonyms? Auto=self, pilot=driving


Everyone knows airplane autopilot still needs a human pilot. Everyone.


And yet a couple years ago, they claimed Autopilot was full self-driving.


Tesla have two very distinct cruise/steering product grades, one is called Autopilot and another called Full Self-Driving. It seems unlikely to me that Tesla would claim that their first product was their second product.
