Too many are caught up in word-thinking, flustered about “full” when nobody buying it thinks it a 100% safe tech. People want to bitch about it, and do so with “but but but it says ‘full’ when it isn’t!”

Why do you think Tesla chooses to call it this way versus "assisted driving" or something similar?

How do you have autonomous robotaxies if the "full" in "full self driving" isn't "full" in the sense that every native english speaker assumes?

So ”full self driving” in the car world is just marketing for “assisted driving”?

This is why we’re never going to have self driving cars. If everything that they say in the industry has to be taken with a grain of salt, why would any city agree to take on that liability?

Doesn’t even matter if the tech saves lives. You can’t even be straight about what you can deliver.
