Tesla Revises Full Self-Driving Definition, Abandons Promise of Full Autonomy
By

Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Tesla has officially changed the definition of its 'Full Self-Driving' (FSD) feature, abandoning its original promise of delivering unsupervised autonomous driving capability. The company, which has been selling the FSD package for up to $15,000 since 2016 with claims that all vehicles would achieve full autonomy, has now revised its terminology to reflect that the system remains a driver-assist feature requiring human supervision. This represents a significant retreat from CEO Elon Musk's repeated annual predictions since 2018 that full self-driving capability was imminent.
