I’m not being disingenuous. I really don’t think what features are named on cars are important. The disingenuous position I see is that everyone agrees with me… except if Tesla do it.
FSD doesnt mean anything to anyone either, as it’s never been done before.
Mercedes call their version: Intelligent Drive System
BMW: BMW Personal CoPilot systems
Audi: Traffic Jam Pilot (which they class as Level 3 autonomous driving, higher than Tesla class both autopilot and FSD).
This isn’t an opinion… this is fact. People hate on Tesla out of ignorance of the automotive industry.
Some more facts, Tesla make:
- the safest cars (no qualification required)
- most efficient production cars
- most advanced “auto pilot” but they class it the lowest level.
The nonsense in HN threads talking about safety issues in Tesla or FSD need to go look up cruise control crashes in any other manufacture.
(I don’t own a Tesla nor am I invested. I do work with almost all the major OEMs in my day job)
