    And you think the average person knows the capabilities of an airplane autopilot?

      I’d hope they would before willfully getting behind the controls of one to operate it. Regardless of what we call it, these people still would have crashed. They both drove into the side of a semi while sitting in the driver’s seat with their hands on the wheel.

        That because tesla induced them to think it was level 4 or 5 while FSD is level 2 (like most Toyotas are ) but with a few extra options.

        And as long as there is a need for a human to endorse responsability, it will remain at level 2.

          A) Autopilot and the FSD beta are two totally separate systems and FSD wasn’t even available as an option when one of these crashes occurred.

          B) where’s the evidence that these drivers believed they were operating a level 4 or 5 system?

            Sorry about it, mixed up the two. I’m an empty head.
