Supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD)

sounds like an oxymoron

i noticed they didnt use any of the industry standard terminology (autonomous driving level)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (15 children)

As long as the "driver" is responsible in case of a crash and not the manufacturer of the car, it will stay supervised no matter what the underlying tech is. "But your honour, I wasn't paying any attention, it was the autonomous car that drove over the kid" is not a valid defence.

That was exactly the point. There are quite a number of cars with actual self-driving technology, where the driver is not responsible. Or if there is no driver.

Really? I wasn't aware of that, from which manufacturer and where can I buy one?

Mercedes, some states in USA.
But it's only verified for day time, and on marked roads.
But that's still better than Tesla.

Mostly you can't - most fsd options I'm aware of are mostly in the robotaxi space. Here's a website that tracks where they're available.

Otherwise your best bet today that I know of would be Mercedes Drive Pilot, which has a Level 3 rating for being autonomous.

There aren't. Mercedes system only works in two states on freeways during the daytime on sunny days at speeds below 40MPH with clearly marked lines and no construction. There are so many qualifiers that it's basically useless outside of the attention grabbing headlines.

Me in my Mercedes: activates FSD one one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand deactivates FSD wow! The future is here.
