Isn't Supervised Full Self-Driving an oxymoron? How can it be both Supervised and Full Self-Driving?
Fully man... fully.
It is not all the same.
You are full.
The car is self driving.
Tesla's interns in India are supervising both you and the car.
It finally makes sense
Just like Amazon's walk in walk out stores where Indian people did the actual checkout for them...
But I haven't eaten since lunch yesterday 🥲
You know, some are full of solids, some... fluids, and some... even superfluous :)
It can't be both. It's not self-driving. That's just what they call it to oversell it. I'm assuming they had to add the "Supervised" part for legal reasons.
They should get fined for being ambiguous and be forced to call it what it is.
It’s called what it is because of the laws that demand any self driving/automated driving be “supervised” and require regular checks that the driver is paying attention.
You’re essentially saying that Tesla should be made to do something that they’re already doing.
Supervised self driving would be fine. "Full self driving" means SAE level 4 or 5, which the Tesla autopilot isn't, and they don't need "supervised" in the name as they are specifically for a situations where there simply is no driver - like a robotaxi - so there can be no supervision.
The actual answer: It should be Level 4 autonomy. It is capable of full self driving, but only in certain conditions.
Do note that Tesla autopilot is actually only SAE level 2, so it's just a straight up lie :)
Supervised Full Self-Driving seems like a euphemism for driving with a driving instructor. You fully drive yourself but someone supervises you while you do it.
No it’s not.
It fully drives itself, but legally you need to “supervise” it. It’s called that because of the laws around driving a car.
Its because Elon Musk is an oxy moron
Parentheses, duh.
