But... I thought Tesla didn't have full self driving.
It's what they call their lane-assist/cruise control.
They were supposed to stop using the term but the article might not be caught up.
I've used and and it seems like full self driving. Maybe that's why it keeps killing people.
Destination to destination? Stop signs, residential corners, merges, and blind mountain corners? In fog and road spray?
I bought my model 3 with fsd in 2019, back when the only thing Elon talked about publicly was the push to increase ev adoption. Always hated the guy, but loved the car. Again this was before he came out as a full blown Nazi.
Not defending him, I think he's a moron who hired really smart engineers to build a great car. I think his drug addiction and Nazism and stupid decisions have ruined the company, and fuck it I don't even care about it anymore. Fuck Nazi Elon.
That out of the way, yes. Destination to destination, day or night, rain or shine, stop signs, lights, roundabouts, u turns, merges, overtaking, bridges, tunnels, pedestrians jaywalking, handles it all.
It's not perfect, while it slows down in school zones, it doesn't actually read the posted speed sign and goes faster than it should, it does weird decisions and jerky moves at very low speed in parking lots, of the address you entered is not a coordinate of the parking lot, it will pull over and disengage on the road in front of the building regardless of whether that's allowed there. It does still make some mistakes occasionally, so I never trust it to actually not pay attention, but it drives me everywhere.
I guess I'm out of date. Not sure if the meme outlasted the delays or if it just got buried in the politics. I continue to despise the lack of non-visual sensors to actually give it an advantage over human vision.
