Isn't Supervised Full Self-Driving an oxymoron? How can it be both Supervised and Full Self-Driving?
How can it be both Supervised and Full Self-Driving?
It is not all the same.
You are full.
The car is self driving.
Tesla's interns in India are supervising both you and the car.
It finally makes sense
Just like Amazon's walk in walk out stores where Indian people did the actual checkout for them...

It can't be both. It's not self-driving. That's just what they call it to oversell it. I'm assuming they had to add the "Supervised" part for legal reasons.
They should get fined for being ambiguous and be forced to call it what it is.

Supervised Full Self-Driving seems like a euphemism for driving with a driving instructor. You fully drive yourself but someone supervises you while you do it.
Parentheses, duh.

Lmao they put lane-keeping assist behind a marketing-wank paywall for their already expensive EVs - something manufacturers like Subaru and Hyundai has made standard across their entire line for years now
What a sad joke this company has become, another example of failed leadership valuing yes-men and sycophancy
I rode in a 2019 Subaru Ascent (like a big Outback) a few years ago, the lane keep assist was great even back then, not to mention the blind spot monitoring and all that. and it was all included. wtf is Tesla even doing with all that time and money??
I love mine. Combined with adaptive cruise, it’s amazing for slowly rolling traffic, longer journeys, and stop-and-go traffic. I’m under no impression the car is ‘driving’ but having a machine take over the mental load is great and frees up that capacity for other driving tasks and/or awareness of the road.
Tesla calling that technology “Auto” anything without it being genuinely 100% autonomous should have landed someone a fat fine or jail time

Yeah, plus the assist feature shuts itself off when it can't be used (ie. driving into the sun) unlike Tesla's version that instead chooses to ram you into a building then blames you for it by disengaging 0.1 seconds before the collision.

It’s going to Elon Musk bank account.

Hyundai Lanekeep is better than teslas too
It’s absolutely pitiful that they can’t figure out lane-keeping when a cars a fraction of the price have it.
It’s also a huge red flag that they are shipping “self driving” but can’t do lane keep assist.
I have this on my Honda Fit for fuck's sake.
Oh they know how to do it. They are just desperate to swindle existing owners since their vehicle sales have fallen off a cliff.
I don’t think they can, because they’re suffering so much from the rectal-cranial inversion that Musk started with his FSD.
Muskrat insists on using computer vision entirely, and building it in-house. Tesla (probably EM) as I recall also insulted MobilEye so they refuse to do business with them. Mind you, I think lane keeping is generally a computer vision problem.

Tesla is the Fyre Festival of automotive manufacturers, except in this case Billy has managed to keep the kite in the air for an astonishingly long time.

Snake oil salesman.
VW where rightly punished for Dieselgate yet seems like the Texan is getting away with it (again). I also blame the US media. Remember to this date Tesla has never spent a cent advertising in America, their entire hype machine has been fuelled by sites like The Verge (until they eventually woke up a few years back - by which point Tesla had already sold gazillions of shares and took customers deposits). This is why we need real journalism more than ever, the bodies that regulate these cowboys are no longer fit for purpose.
I hope every single person who has, or ever will, buy a cybertruck a lifetime of misery and misfortune
May they stub their toe on every step for the rest of their life
But also may they sue for false advertising and cost Tesla legal fees and result in them being obligated to provide these services for free.
So besides Trump and Musk being passionate fuck buddies, how is this legal? Surely this is fraud and deceit right?
A fine is just a fee for breaking the law.
every non-vandalized cybertruck is an affront to decent society
I mean concidering Tesla lost the EU market, it's likely this will go unchallenged. but yes shitty but expected from the company.
Cybertruck isn't allowed in the EU anyway so our regulatory agencies and courts have no power over it. Plus they could just enable it in EU and keep disabled in US if there was a verdict in the EU court system that they have to honor their original terms.

umm... good? This might actually might have saved some lives.
By not delivering lane-keeping? I appreciate the unreasoning hatred, but some reasoning would be good too.
Sometimes, my lane assist function thinks that random pot holes and scabby bits of road are lanes and tries to push me over into the path of other cars without warning.
I turned it off.
My car is not a tesla, but from what i understand about teslas, they are prone to this same issue.

🤡
Despite that people love to talk about Tesla and also cybertrucks, this is reminder to never buy anything for promised features. If you wouldn't be happy with the existing features just don't buy it.
They do this to juice the gross margin number and make the auto business appear more profitable.
Oh well, atleast they are making bank running the Tesla as automated robo taxis while they aren't using them like Elon promised.
Autostreer to far right might sound good to some (apparently??) but it's an issue in actual traffic.
I don't feel bad for anyone that was dumb enough to buy Elon's crappy products.
Shame on you if you still believe promises made by Tesla 😂 They are kinda like promises made by Trump 😆
