Idiot drivers do idiot things, hardly unique to Tesla drivers. The whole autopilot feature-set is pretty clearly marked as beta on the screen with a clear warning, that you have to acknowledge to enable, that it is considered a beta-feature and that you should be attentive when using it.
I agree that the FSD feature-set is advertised with capabilities it in no way possesses. But everyone seems to forget that autopilot and FSD are two separate things. Autopilot is only TACC+Lane-Assist and isn't advertised as a fully self driving technology.
Because Tesla made it as confusing as possible on purpose and misleads consumers...
Which is why they're getting sued about it as I type this...
I'm not sure why people have issues differentiating FSD and Autopilot honestly, they have separate names that are not similar sounding.
I 100% agree that FSD has been falsely advertised for almost a decade now though.
It's because they think they're experts after superficially reading through some news headlines and don't actually do any research nor use either of these systems to gain the appropriate knowledge. They're just playing a game of telephone with what they think they know.
