Tesla's Autopilot Name Ban in CA Begins January 2023

Tesla’s Autopilot or FSD has all the anxiety-inducing aspects of supervising a teenager driving your car. You’re constantly worried it’s going to do something wrong and you have to take over. It’s FAR more stressful than just doing it yourself.

But hats off to Elon for creating a mechanism where people pay money just so they can provide human input to train a machine learning model. And it’s on such a large scale too, and been going on for several years.

That’s the true genius behind Autopilot. Nothing to do with driving or cars even.

FTA:

> There’s also no way of telling if the Californian bill takes issue with the name Autopilot though it seems unlikely.

HN title is editorialized and incorrect.

The ban is for the term "Full Self-Driving", not "Autopilot"

What’s the over/under on Tesla renaming it to “Otto Pilot”?

I'm predicting a 5-10% average decrease in my commute time from this.
