By now, most people have probably heard that Tesla's attempt at "Full Self Driving" is really anything but --- after a decade of promises. The vehicle owners manual spells this out.

As I understand it, the contentious issue is the fact that unlike most others, their attempt works mostly from visual feedback.

In low visibility situations, their FSD has limited feedback and is essentially driving blind.

It appears that Musk may be seeking a political solution to this technical problem.

It’s really weird how much you comment about FSD being fake. My Tesla drives me 10+ miles daily and the only time I touch any controls is pulling in and out of my garage. Literally daily. I maybe disengage once every couple days just to be on the safe side in uncertain situations, it I’m sure it’d likely do fine there too.

FSD works. It drives itself fine 99.99% of the time. It is better than most human drivers. I don’t know how you keep claiming it doesn’t or doesn’t exist.

The claim was about _full_ driving being anything but, ie not _fully_ self-driving, not being completely fake. Disengaging every 10-110 miles is just not "full", it's partial.

And then the gp went into details in which specific situations fsd is especially problematic.
