Industry Group Not Happy That We Referred to Tesla's "Full Self Driving" Feature as "Self Driving"Big Mad
An autonomous vehicle industry group is displeased that we referred to Tesla's "Full Self-Driving" mode as "Self Driving" — a term which, last time we checked, is literally in the feature's name. In an unsolicited email, a representative from the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association — which, it should be noted, does not appear to count Tesla as aconflation in terminology" between automation and self-driving. The spokesperson further called for a "clear delineation between 'driver assist' and 'autonomous' as different and distinct technologies and experiences.
Honestly, they're absolutely right. The name of Tesla's Full Self-Driving is indeed wildly irresponsible, as evidenced by the story they were upset about, about a Tesla in self-driving mode thatBut Tesla is obviously trying to have it both ways: to benefit from the hype of a feature that claims in its name to make a car fully autonomous, while clarifying in the fine print that the driver needs to be constantly be focused on the road and ready to take over at any moment.
