The video is staggering, going super fast before an intersection, with no visibility, a blinking signal, and clear stop sign in sight. I hope FSD got better

not sure if you are saying otherwise but for those who might get confused this crash was with “Autopilot” not FSD, although both are definitely problematic

And the distinction is what?

I'm not serious of course. There are huge swaths of the public whose eyes would glaze over if you tried to explain it, and that's my point.

i think the public can generally grasp the difference between lane assist and a waymo/AV but the naming is bad agreed

Tesla's official, wildly misleading position is that FSD is a driver assist system that should be treated no different than autopilot, not an autonomous system like Waymo. They've stated it in court, in regulatory filings, and if you open the owner's manual you'll find a bolded statement that FSD doesn't make the vehicle autonomous.

Everything else that you might be reasonably misled by? Puffery and the official position is that you really should have known better.

fair enough, was just trying to clarify the situation in the article. Tesla’s branding is ridiculous and extremely misleading.
