FSD would like a word


As a full stack developer suffering from female sexual dysfunction who owns a Tesla, I am really confused about what you are trying to say.


Have you tried praying to the Flying Spaghetti Deity?


After wrapping up with the Family Services Division, of course


SAE automation levels are the industry standard, not FSD (which is a brand name), and FSD is clearly Level 2 (driver is always responsible and must be engaged, at least in consumer teslas, I don't know about robotaxis). The question is if "AGI" is as well defined as "Level 5" as an independent standard.


The point trying to be made is FSD is deceptive marketing, and it's unbelievable how long that "marketing term" has been allowed to exist given its inaccuracy in representing what is actually being delivered to the customer.


What's deceptive? What in the term "Full Self Driving" makes you think that your car will drive itself fully? It's fully capable of facilitating your driving of yourself, clearly.


They have certainly tried to move the goalposts on this.


"They"? Waymo has a pretty well working service


FSD is the brand name for the service promised/offered by Tesla Motors - Waymo has nothing to do with it, or the moving of goal posts.
