I think it depends what they actually are trying to accomplish. This is Beta for a glorified cruise control overhaul; not a beta for promised RoboTaxi.

Musk/Tesla tend to talk about RoboTaxi then slip seemlessly into/out of 'but today we have low engagement cruise control!'.

Fair bit of hucksterism.

Good point. "Full Self Driving" in my mind paints a picture beyond "a better cruise control". But maybe they meant that and just named it wrong.

From Tesla's webpage:

> Full Self-Driving Capability

> All new Tesla cars have the hardware needed in the future for full self-driving in almost all circumstances. The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat.

That's "End Game" - they aren't claiming the current version (or even the beta) are there yet.
