Autopilot

All new Tesla vehicles are equipped with the hardware needed for Autopilot and Full Self-Driving capability features, designed to improve functionality over time.

They do have this:



Which does state that "in the future"

But then, they list all that stuff the article complains about - but they don't say "in the future" on any of it. It is written kinda like the car can do it now.





And even if you do take all of that "in the future" at face value...

What happens if they can't deliver that on the hardware suite you buy today? Which is exactly what it appears they are trying to sell you.

Tesla won't solve FSD. For sure they won't with crap cameras. They need to change course to do this. AI brute force " learning " aint the path. Brains don't drive like ai at all.
