    I am being serious. Many people believe that tesla have full self driving because of the name and how tesla and other people talk about it. Hence the talk of class action lawsuits against Tesla.

    So some how people think they made full auto pilot cars.

      People that have never been in a tesla, maybe, because they’re morons. That does NOT equal TESLA advertising falsely, nor does anyone driving a Tesla have any reason to believe the car will completely drive itself on autopilot, because it literally tells you it doesn’t. Source: I own two of them. The entire argument is bullshit and predicated on people unaffiliated with Tesla being morons.

        And yet i just saw a stroy about tesla “fsd” full self driving. If tesla calls a feature full self driving then it sounds loke they are advertising a fully autonomous car.

          “Full Self-Driving” for which you have to pay 15k, are told in ZERO uncertain terms that this is BETA software, and that you must maintain a hold on the steering wheel from the screen and speakers else it comes to a stop, and LITERALLY TRACKS YOUR EYES TO VERIFY YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE ROAD.

          So again, morons that don’t have any idea how a Tesla works, let alone has ever been in one, making shit up. NOT TESLA.

              When all instructions tell you that this is, IN NO WAY, autonomous driving allowing you to take your hands off the wheel OR stop paying attention to the road? You bet your fucking ass there is a mountain of case law throwing out thousands of lawsuits.

              There is literally not one bit of false fucking advertising involved in this entire story, and the more you attempt to argue there is, the more you show your ignorance.
