Is the only Level 3 vehicle on the roads in Germany and now California and Nevada. Until Tesla steps up and says you don’t have to pay attention, that the car can drive itself and if it fucks up it’s on Tesla, it’s Level 2. Not in the lead.

> it just follows the car in front

No, that’s active lane keeping. My Subaru does that.

> Cannot even change lanes

Yes it does [1].

> Works only under 40MPH

If you want to exceed this, you can switch to its Level 2 mode.

FSD is a very advanced Level 2 system. (Probably the most advanced.) But it’s still Level 2 because you are still supposed to closely supervise it.

I just recently noticed that Tesla now officially calls it "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" in their manual.
