Don't advertise their driver assist system as "full self driving".
Don't advertise their driver assist system as "full self driving".
> Tesla cars come standard with advanced hardware capable of providing Autopilot features, and *full self-driving capabilities* — through software updates designed to improve functionality over time.
> Tesla's Autopilot AI team drives the future of autonomy of current and new generations of vehicles. Learn about the team and apply to help accelerate the world with *full self-driving*.
Now you can say that can be interpreted multiple ways - which means the copywriter is either incompetent, or intentionally misleading. Interestingly, the text from 2019 (https://web.archive.org/web/20191225054133/tesla.com/autopil...) is written a bit differently:
> ...full self-driving capabilities *in the future*...
> > > What behavior do you want them to change?
> > Don't advertise their driver assist system as "full self driving".
> The system involved in this crash was never advertised as "full self driving".
I assume "system involved in this crash" is referring to "Tesla Autopilot"; my reply was to contradict the statement '...*was never* advertised as "full self driving"'.
But you mentioning a date made me curious about when the advert text was changed:
- "...in the future" was added ~1.5 months before the accident: https://web.archive.org/web/20190306042234/https://www.tesla...
- "...in the future" was removed ~1.5 months after that lawsuit was filed: https://web.archive.org/web/20210603132215/https://www.tesla...
