A Post analysis reveals that people have died or been gravely injured in crashes where Tesla’s software should not have been enabled in the first place.
Tesla drivers run Autopilot where it’s not intended — with deadly consequences::undefined
An important difference is that cruise control is simpler to understand. It’s a basic mechanic dressed up as a driver aid. A smaller slice of the population will incorrectly use cruise control.
FSD is a driver aid dressed up as… well, “Full Self-Driving.” It’s not Full, and it’s not Self-Driving. It’s mostly functional in limited circumstances and even then requires driver attention.
I think another good example is how people would never allow a Stasi agent to live in their house, unless the Stasi agent was redefined as a slew of websites, a collection of disparate laws, and multiple steps involving technology.

This is talking about Autopilot not FSD.
Autopilot and FSD are not the same thing though. Autopilot is just TACC + lane-keeping, it’s not advertised as a full self-driving feature.
