Boeing wants FAA to exempt MAX 7 from safety rules to get it in the air

What are you talking about, Tesla doesn't ship any autonomous features. Driver assist features do not make a car autonomous. Tesla has always plainly said you must monitor the car at all times autopilot is engaged, the exact same way that turning on cruise control in any other car doesn't make the car autonomous even though the car is managing the speed.

Quite right old chap! Surely no reasonable consumer would interpret terms like "Autopilot" or "Full Self Driving" to mean that the car autonomously drives itself!

You can lookup "autopilot" definition in a dictionary

What are you talking about?

What Tesla markets and sells falls into SAE Autonomous Ground Vehicle classifications, just not level 5.

Nothing I wrote spoke to anything Tesla sells being L5 (or any particular level at all).

Edit: On the topic of MCAS, it strikes me as a system akin to around an SAE L2/L3, overriding pilot inputs to prevent a perceived crash/stall risk. This AIUI is well within the autonomy space Teslas operate...
