It's self-driving but you need to supervise it because you are both responsible and because it's not perfect.
Not self-driving then. Words have meanings.
Right. Wikipedia defines it as such
But also
So there's no one definition. It is driving by itself. You don't have to do any driving. But you should keep alert so if something happens you can taker over. Seems like it fits with the general use imo but doesn't fulfill the more stringent definitions.
The definition is that Tesla is shit.
They're selling a spotty lane assist as Self Driving when it is not.
Other companies are selling actual self-driving cars, (even if those companies are fucking up as well) but Tesla is nowhere near that level of autonomy. All because Musk cheaped out on the sensor package.
Teslas will never be self-driving, because they literally cannot detect the road and obstacles with just their little camera setup.
They should not be allowed to call it self-driving, or autopilot, or anything else that implies that you can take your hands off the steering wheel.
