“Reliable” is implicit in “fully self-driving”, otherwise I could call my car self-driving when it manages to stay in its lane after I let go of the steering wheel.

I just checked the current numbers on FSD Tracker. It is at 95% now for the last 30 days. That's a number I would call reliable under supervision. It is way higher than it used to be. It was at 73% when I checked it the last time.

Again. Present a name, which fits and describes the capabilities of FSD. It can under certain circumstances drive a route completely on its own. This is not a lane assist, not (advanced) Cruise Control, not HDA and not Super Cruise.

   * trip control
   * trip assist
   * co-pilot
   * auto steer and throttle
   * partial self-driving (i.e., what it's actually doing!)
   * hands-free steering

Naming is hard, but FULL self driving definitely ain’t it

Otherwise what would you name a L5 system that 100% drives autonomously all the time without any input?

Exactly. They knew exactly what they were doing when they named it.

Partial Self Driving.
