Tesla faces U.S. criminal probe over self-driving claims

So little? I'm testing the most advanced driving system available to the public. It does things no other available system even attempts to do. It's pretty cool to be able to try it first, and I don't consider that 'little'.

Also, FSD was $3k when I bought it, so that helps, and it came with a guaranteed computer upgrade too. I wouldn't pay the $15k it costs today.

Why can't the most advanced driving system park the car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsb2XBAIWyA

I'd say you've been suckered into doing Tesla's testing work for them. Worse than that, you're even paying them for the very great privilege of being an unpaid intern.

It's perverse. They advertised at you and I think we have to say the manipulation has worked.

Because the parking code hasn't been touched in years. All their effort right now is on driving, and that part is improving rapidly, far ahead of other car manufacturers, obviously with a long way still to go.

Being an early adopter of technology always involves paying to test unfinished work. Even the first iPhone (which I also bought) was deficient in many ways. And yet being an early adopter has brought me personally a lot of benefits. The world is not zero sum, turns out.

So.. the most advanced driving system is so far ahead that it's years behind?

It really doesn't.
