Stay away from Teslas

[MrVvrroomm]

I would trust Tesla's auto-pilot over MOST drivers on the road. At least Tesla's auto-pilot signals ALL turns and lane changes.

Good point.

I misspoke. Tesla does not change lanes on it's own when using autopilot. When in autopilot if driver signals lane change, the car will change lanes if, and only if it's safe to do so.


All Teslas come with autopilot:
"Autopilot advanced safety and convenience features are designed to assist you with the most burdensome parts of driving. Autopilot introduces new features and improves existing functionality to make your Tesla safer and more capable over time.

Autopilot enables your car to steer, accelerate and brake automatically within its lane.

Current Autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous."

Tesla upsells Full Self-Driving (FSD) Capability presently on Model Y & 3 for $10K.

"FSD: All new Tesla cars have the hardware needed in the future for full self-driving in almost all circumstances. The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat.

All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go. If you don’t say anything, the car will look at your calendar and take you there as the assumed destination or just home if nothing is on the calendar. Your Tesla will figure out the optimal route, navigate urban streets (even without lane markings), manage complex intersections with traffic lights, stop signs and roundabouts, and handle densely packed freeways with cars moving at high speed. When you arrive at your destination, simply step out at the entrance and your car will enter park seek mode, automatically search for a spot and park itself. A tap on your phone summons it back to you.

The future use of these features without supervision is dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving capabilities are introduced, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates."

Currently FSD is in early beta stage. There are some features that are useable, but full autonomous self driving is not presently available.
