    It regularly kills people. It can’t be used on a lot of road types (but people still do because Tesla makes no effort to prevent it). It’s still marketed as Full Self Driving despite the fact that Tesla has stated on the record that it is, and I quote, “Not capable of driving itself.”

    They’re trying to have their cake and eat it too. Any time it benefits them, they claim that their cars are completely autonomous vehicles powered by the most advanced AI. Any time they get their wrists slapped, they claim that it’s an assistive feature like cruise control that cannot and will not ever replace the human behind the wheel.

          That’s all the people who were asleep on the highway or driving at very high speed in town

          The recent versions don’t allow either of those behaviours now, so those crashes aren’t happening anymore.

          Full self driving doesn’t do that

          And the deaths I’m interested in are these ones being caused by FSD, not lane keeping and cruise control. Loads of brands do lane keeping and cruise control and implement it no better than Tesla

            Just keep in mind that FSD is only as safe as they claim because it’s supervised.

            I would hope that even a reasonably working system would be better with a human vigilantly watching it than a human driving regularly.

            The system would have to be really bad to be worse than that.
