They still sell it as "Autopilot and Full Self Driving". Sure, they claim "Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment", but that's buried in the marketing text that no one reads. It really should be called "Enhanced Lane Assist with Auto-Follow Cruise Control", but that doesn't sell as many cars.
Edit: Warning...Lemmy or Kbin, I'm not sure which, is current buggy and showing my link as a video connected to RedGifs. Clicking the link actually brings you to the Tesla website. Don't open the video...
No matter how they're marketed and used, self-driving systems will make people less engaged (that's the entire point, people don't use it out of arm fatigue, they use it because it's mentally relaxing!) and therefore more distracted.
"The driver should keep their full attention on the road and be prepared to take over at any point" is an impossible standard and a lame-ass loophole that shouldn't even be allowed to be cited in a court of law. Fully engaged drivers do not ask an "autopilot" to steer for them.
When I tried it out, after your hands are off the wheel for several seconds, the screen flashes blue then autopilot disengages and the car comes to a stop. Not excusing what it can and can’t do, but you can’t really drive hands free without intentionally working around very obvious restrictions. The driver can’t claim ignorance
