Tesla has also offered their FSD to other companies, with no takers: https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-fsd-licensin... However, Tesla hasn't achieved anywhere near the autonomy of Waymo, so that may be the main sticking point.
nobody trusts non-lidar except tesla buyers

I was 100% FSD today. Went to the office, ran some errands, went home. Never touched the steering wheel once. 2026 Model S Plaid.
It does look to an outside non-Tesla-owning observer, like it's getting there sometimes, but do you think it is? Or is it just plateauing?

Vinyl, for whatever continuing reason, often does sound better than digital formats but only because it’s mastered with more care. It could be that it’s physically impossible to master vinyl for extreme loudness, but whatever the reason is you can absolutely pick up a vinyl copy of an album and find it sounds much better than the streamed or CD version.
as a former apprentice sound engineer, I just don't believe that. If you play your media on a decent NS-10 like speaker with a fairly good amp, you'll have pretty much what the mastering engineered mastered on. Even tape has a better dynamic range than vinyl. Its like lomo photography, it does one thing very well, but is terrible for anything else. Yes it might sound pleasing, but it sucks for classical, anything wit…
Read this thorough rundown of one of the more famously over compressed albums where the vinyl release has better sound than even the 24 bit release: https://buttondown.com/rhcpsessions/archive/me-and-my-friend...

Full is a relative term. Full compared to what? Compared to a professional rally car driver? Compared to my grandmother? Compared to a properly licensed tourist in a foreign country? From videos I see on YouTube, I’m struggling to think what is not Full compared to—at a bare minimum—the bottom 10 percent of drivers on the road.
For me it has a very specific meaning: "Full" means "Unsupervised and without a geofence". Anything less is not Full Self Driving.

> Full compared to what? Tesla set their own benchmark, their own goal posts, and their own timelines. In 2016 Tesla said, "as of today, all Tesla vehicles produced in our factory – including Model 3 – will have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver." : https://electrek.co/2024/08/24/tesla-deletes-its-blog-post-s... https://web.archive…
You can change the subject to the hyperbole and spin by Elon Musk, that's fine. Just be aware that's what you're doing. You're changing the subject. I do understand this cult of anti-personality, but I'm only interested in the technology (made by thousands of people whose name is not Elon) in customer hands right now and not about past promises. Right now, their FSD technology stack looks fairly impressive.

Some advice if you want to be intellectually satiated, I would suggest disregarding any forward-looking statements by any company executives. You'll find life to be a lot less emotionally draining.

It wasn't 10 years ago and it still isn't now.
If you are unable to admit to the practical reality of that then you are not interested in technology.

The subject hasn't changed. The subject is Tesla's full self-driving is not, in fact, full self-driving. It wasn't 10 years ago and it still isn't now. If you are unable to admit to the practical reality of that then you are not interested in technology.
As for the actual subject, your opinion on the semantic question is noted. I did ask, I suppose.

If someone is legally restricted from leaving their home town, does that mean they're not able to fully self drive a car?

It's been a year or two since I drove a Tesla, but in FSD mode it insisted I at least touch the steering wheel regularly.
Modern refreshed models use an eye tracking camera.
