Tesla's FSD: From Full Self-Driving to Advanced Driver-Assistance System

Tesla's long-standing promise of unsupervised autonomous driving with its Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability remains unfulfilled. Tesla has quietly redefined FSD, downgrading it from fully autonomous driving to an "advanced driver-assistance system," no longer promising unsupervised self-driving. This shift is linked to Elon Musk's massive stock option bonus package, which hinges on the number of Tesla FSD subscribers. While seemingly tying Musk's reward to FSD delivery, the new definition allows even the current version—requiring constant driver supervision—to easily meet the criteria. This raises concerns about Tesla's misleading marketing and bait-and-switch tactics, highlighting the massive gap between its promises and the reality of its autonomous driving technology.
