Now, there being an "official", legally-protected definition for that is another thing.
Level 5 self-driving vehicles won't even have controls for humans.
But again, Tesla's are already fully self-driving.
The official and legal requirement is not important. The only important thing is what Tesla’s marketing team says about its own features(I.e FSD).
If I think a bit about this I think I could make an unofficial FSD system as well.
>>The CEO went as far as claiming that this would make Tesla vehicles “appreciating assets”
Right…
Meanwhile they can’t even make it legal for level 3 like other auto manufacturers(I.e Benz)
By your definition, so is my Honda with a brick on the accelerator: it fully drives itself until it hits a wall.
If something needs a driver, it is not self-driving in my book.
