His handling? He was asked to help. He said he would be happy to help. The rescue team requested that submarine from him.

What bothers you here?

Now if you had said it was that he called someone pedo I might understand. But that's not what you said here.

The guy who was called pedo wasn't even a rescuer. He was not on the rescue team, but he did help them find the kids.

The sub in Thailand was requested by the actual rescuers, though.

Sure, people without Teslas may be confused. No one who actually owns one is confused about Tesla's Autopilot because not only do you have to agree on how to use it before you can enable it, but it constantly nags and reminds you while driving.

And Wikipedia: "Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle"

But it is exactly what it is sold at. The page where you choose the FSD package makes it 100% clear. There is no confusion about what you get.

Autopilot is Autopilot.

Wikipedia: "Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle"

No one is confused about Tesla's Autopilot because not only do you have to agree on how to use it before you can enable it, but it constantly nags and reminds you while driving.

I was using Autopilot 2 years ago. Not even close to 15 minutes. Within seconds.

Huh? What videos ignoring their own guidelines?

You are aware that the car keeps nagging you if you don't keep your hands on the wheel, right?

And no, they don't call it "'autopilot'/'FSD'". They call FSD FSD, and Autopilot Autopilot.

Promising FSD has got nothing to do with Autopilot. FSD is a completely separate package you have to purchase.

You are lying about their marketing.

The driver is still constantly reminded to stay in control, and you even have to agree this to before enabling Autopilot.

Tesla never said Autopilot is autonomous.

Except the purchase page clearly state that autonomous features are not avaiable today, and the car itself constantly reminds you to be in control.

Also, Autopilot on Wikipedia: "An autopilot is a system used to control the path of an aircraft, car, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems)."

Again: "Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle"

Tesla does not market their software as "full self-driving". They are saying that the software will be FSD in the future.

The words from Elon's mouth make a clear separation between Autopilot as a driver assist system, and FSD as autonomy.

Furthermore, Autopilot constantly reminds you while driving. There is zero confusion.

It clearly states what it is when you actually purchase the vehicle, and also constantly reminds you while driving.

No, the name is accurate.

Wikipedia: "An autopilot is a system used to control the path of an aircraft, car, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems)."

> You can see how poor the vision of these systems is by just watching a few Tesla autopilot videos and seeing cars flash into/out of recognition on the screen.

Autopilot is not FSD. Autopilot is using the old system, FSD is using an architectural rewrite.

> I can't trust auto pilot anymore- it couldn't deal with a dead-simple scenario of a clearly marked lane getting added.

You are not supposed to trust it. You are supposed to use it as an assistance feature. It's not meant to be autonomous.

> which just shows how weak the system really is

The old system. Current Autopilot is using the old system. Not relevant to the new FSD beta.
