Tesla
The Tesla Engagement Hub encourages Tesla owners to Take actions on behalf of Tesla and the movement for cleaner energy. Instead of users being able to start threads asking questions and starting discussions, Tesla owners are reduced to engaging only by comments on Tesla s curation of posts. The electric car maker will no longer be allowing people to ask advice such as How do I go about requesting for eMMC recall upgrade, or pass on useful information such as How to wake a dead Tesla. More likely, though, Tesla wants to kill post titles such as I got the Model S bait-and-switched, too and Tesla: A Thinking Person s Car. Some are ill-equipped for ownership, and is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The change will likely send many of the forum s regulars to any of the large independent Tesla forums and away from Tesla s website.
It s just Level 2, not Level 5.
According to a letter from Tesla to California s Department Of Motor Vehicles (DMV) published on Twitter, Tesla s habit of overpromising and underperforming has hit a new height. Tesla, of course, doesn t put it like that, but the California EV maker has been forced to disclose that Full Self Driving (FSD) Capability is an additional suite of features that builds from Autopilot and is also representative of SAE L2.
SAE International s On-Road Automated Vehicle Standards Committee considers Level 2 ability to be the vehicle either handling acceleration and deceleration, steering, or both, with the expectation of the driver handling every other aspect of driving and being ready to take over full control. That is not what the system name Full Self Driving suggests.
