In a surprise announcement during Tesla’s Q2 2023 investor call, company head Elon Musk revealed that Tesla plans to license its Full Self-Driving system to other automakers and OEMs. “We are very open to licensing our FSD software and hardware to other car companies,” Musk said, “and we’re already in discussions with a major OEM about using a Tesla FSD.”
Why are they allowed to call it “full self driving” in the first place? The name implies that it can operate with zero driver intervention, which it most definitely cannot.
Isn’t it false advertising to call the system “full self driving”? If not, why not?
Full self driving until it ploughs through a crossing and kills a bunch of kids at which point the driver needs to be ready to take control at all times.
