I wonder if we’ll see a reduced feature set in Europe as well, especially when it’s first released. Honestly it’s incredible it’s taken this long for it to come out

Yes. Only the Netherlands has approved it, and it has fewer features than the US version.

Ahh, an actual admission of defeat. Kudos.

can you drive it to work and send it home by itself? And then ask it to come and get you?

No. The Tesla webpage and in-car guidance are clear on what you can expect from this feature and how the driver is expected to be paying attention. The car will also sense when you are not paying attention and take measures accordingly.

They are trying to use it as taxi.. are they blocking the features in order to use it for taxis only?

No, they have remote drivers for their "autonomous" taxis.

In other words, they're not really "autonomous". And they don't operate at night --- probably not in bad weather either --- or when communications are unavailable.

"Tesla is the only autonomous vehicle company in the United States that permits its remote operators to directly steer, accelerate, and brake vehicles on public roads."

I see for Tesla assisted driving is not equal to autonomous. I wasn't aware of that. So they are hiring people to drive them like drones.. Somebody else said this and I didn't quite understand it then.. Thanks.

the number one way to get downvoted on HN is to say anything bad Elon/Tesla :)

No, but it can drive me to work and park, come pick me up at the door after work, and drive me home

why would you want to double the commute miles you put on your car for no added convenience to yourself?
