    Again, we’re arguing about the definition of “working” which was my original point.

    Can it self drive? yes

    Should it? no

      That argument is stupid. My robot lawn mower “can drive itself” but it can’t follow traffic rules and would crash after a while if set to drive on its own in a road. Just as a Tesla. What Musk was implying was “it can drive itself without violating traffic rules and causing crashes” and clearly it can’t.

        I think FSD is further along than you think it is.

        certainly a lot further than the kind of “self driving” present in your standard robotic lawn mower

          Well yes, but the end result after driving unattended in traffic for a while is the same still, that’s the point. You could argue that a FSD Tesla makes it a bit further, I guess that’s true but still it’s far from what Elon was selling to the people.

      Can it self drive? yes No

      That’s like saying a car with cruise control can self drive. Although FSD is more sophisticated, it still can’t.
      The Tesla cannot self drive by any reasonable meaning of the term.
      Tesla also calls it assisted self driving now. And that’s obviously not because it works now, which even now 8 years later it doesn’t.
