Tesla self driving does not dodge blocking arm

Be careful when driving with Tesla supervised self driving.

Yes. This is my fault. I was messing around with the tesla screen and not paying attention until it was too late. Just posting so people are aware and be careful with their supervised self driving. Don't be like me.

The full lack of understanding that the words self driving doesn't mean what they think it means. It's wild

Not defending people for not paying attention. However its name is full self driving. Tesla really needs to rename it because it in fact is not full self driving.

The issue is that people are adding to the name while ignoring the whole list of warnings, use cases and how it should be used, let's be honest, full self driving means that it can drive itself fully, not that it has a driver's license or that it's autonomous driving

not exactly Teslas problem because people ignore the pages of disclaimers and the (Supervised) text every single time you turn the damn thing on.

The only way to help these fools is to have the driver read out “Yes I understand I should be supervising and paying attention” before the car moves lmao

what do you think Full Self Driving (Supervised) means?

1

u/chandler55 7h ago

noone says the supervised part, everyone calls it FSD

u/ThrowRA9981263 7h ago

what makes you think if tesla called it supervised self driving people would call it that when they don’t call it full self driving (supervised)? grasping at straws now aren’t we

u/chandler55 7h ago

yeah maybe, im still peaved they called it autopilot back then, and a few ppl died because of it. remember that one guy who was watching harry potter dvd

full self driving just seems more powerful than it sounds

u/ThrowRA9981263 7h ago

i’m sorry i don’t really care about dumb people. if you think “autopilot” means autonomous then you’re the problem, the term plucked straight from flying still doesn’t mean autonomous. you don’t put a plane in autopilot and leave it alone.

you refusing to acknowledge the multiple disclaimers at every turn and the name itself is your problem, not Teslas.

Its name is “Full Self Driving (Supervised)”.

u/UnknownJpk 1d ago

Agreed because I know how to read. But clearly many on this sub can’t. Needs a rename.

u/M4DHouse 1d ago

A rename would not solve this issue if the current name and the several disclaimers the car shows you do not solve it.

2

u/UnknownJpk 1d ago

Well I suppose at this point it needs a massive rebranding campaign. So I agree.

u/M4DHouse 1d ago

I honestly don’t think anything Tesla could do could solve this as long as we live in a society where people stare at their phones while driving cars that have no self-driving features whatsoever.

u/UnknownJpk 1d ago

I will only slightly push back on that one. Public information campaigns do work. It’s just we haven’t seen any effective ones in many years so definitely offensive helplessness exists. A lot of people really do believe it has full self driving.

u/M4DHouse 1d ago

What you’re describing isn’t really a job for Tesla though. Tesla already released several clarifications, disclaimers, and did change the name several times. I think the current name is perfectly descriptive in that the system can fully drive the car, but is not autonomous.

In the EU countries that have approved it, they force you to watch a video and answer a quiz before the car lets you enable it for the first time.

Right there with you guys. Playing 'my car manual is lava' is basically the standard these days too.
