"Tesla says on its website its FSD software in on-road vehicles requires active driver supervision and does not make vehicles autonomous."

Despite it being called "Full Self-Driving."

Tesla should be sued out of existence.

Nobody who buys a magic eraser thinks it’s literally a magical object or in any way utilizes magic. It’s not comparable.

Just like nobody who buys FSD actually thinks it's really self driving.

Surely you can understand why “magic” and “fully self driving” have different levels of plausibility?

In 2024 if you tell me a car is “fully self driving” it’s pretty reasonable of me to think it’s a fully self driving car given the current state of vehicle technology. They didn’t say “magic steering” or something clearly ridiculous to take at face value. It sounds like what it should be able to do. Especially with “full” in the name. Just call it “assisted driving” or hell “self driving.” The inclusion of “fully” makes this impossible to debate in good faith.
