For nearly a decade Elon Musk has claimed Teslas can truly drive themselves. They can’t. Now California regulators, a Miami jury and a new class action suit are calling him on it.

    Have you seen the comma device? Effectively a lil android device with a camera that plugs into obd port.
    I don’t think that’s toooo different from Tesla or many other automakers. None of them call it ‘self driving’. They’re driver assistants.

      There is a huge difference in the hardware and the software used for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems for different vehicles.

      For example. Mercedes-Benz S-Classes Driver Fatigue Monitoring had been detecting the eyeline and posture of drivers, for 10 years before other manufacturers started using timer-based Driver Fatigue Systems.

      The Optical object recognition systems in the ADAS of most Volume brands is barely functional at best, while the single-RADAR object recognition of the ADAS in luxury brands is adequate to reduce collisions.

      Even the multi-RADAR systems of premium Luxury vehicles should only be considered “Driver Assistance” .
