They are still misreprenting their self-driving capabilities in their marketing materials:

In the beginning of this video there's the caption "The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself."

If the lawyers in this lawsuit are any good they will have a field day with this.



That is pre-release full-self-driving software under test.

It is definitely NOT a feature that has been released to the public.

The traffic aware cruise control and self-steering features tesla has released to the public require your hands to be on the wheel. If you take your hands off the wheel you will get a small warning, then a larger warning and finally a huge alert.

By the way, if you show a pattern of ignoring alerts it will refuse to drive for you anymore.


It's only a comment for the situation on this video. I'm absolutely not an expert on this topic, but I guess there are places where it's true that the car itself can drive from one location to the other. But on the same page they wrote: "Current Autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous."
