      Where I live you can right now go to Tesla’s website and buy a car with “Full Self-Driving Capability” with a small print that includes the disclaimer that it doesn’t make the vehicle autonomous, for whatever that’s worth…

        FSD is a paid feature that i assume was not being used during the accident, autopilot was being used

          Ah I see, now that you’ve been proven wrong you’re pretending you asked a different question.

          You admit that Tesla advertises a “Full Self-Driving Capability” feature, which is basically what the person you said “source or stfu” to.

          Whether or not the feature was used in this instance is not what we’re discussing here.

          We can have this discussion if you’re feeling like you’re up for it in good-faith, I think both are true that people are overall terrible at the activity of driving so more driver aids are overall better, but also current driver aids are very limited and drivers are not necessarily great at understanding and working within those limits.

          They’re not the only ones, but Tesla is really the worst offender at overstating their cars’ capabilities and setting people up for failure - like in this case.

            Yes you’re right

            What was used in this accident had nothing to do with my question and yes it looks like tesla advertisement is misleading
