Comment on Cause of Fatal 2021 Tesla Wreck Was “Excessive Speed” and “Alcohol Intoxication”parent

Comments

No consumer can purchase any vehicle that is capable of "self-driving" or "driving itself" today.

Tesla's vehicles are not capable of self-driving and, at all times, the human driver is driving the vehicle as both Autopilot and FSD Beta are partial automated driving systems that require a human driver fallback at all times.

The attentiveness required of the human driver with a partial automated driving system is equivalent (on a systems-level) to if the vehicle was not equipped with any automated driving system at all.
