"This November, I rented a Tesla Model Y and drove it for about 150 miles, depending on your personal definition of driving. For about 145 of those miles, I let Tesla's Full Self Driving (Supervised) control the Model Y, only intervening to park or, occasionally, for fun. The car handled countless complex traffic situations effortlessly, with only about two safety related interventions the whole time. It felt like a real self-driving car. But it isn't one. I wouldn't buy it, and I wouldn't recommend it."
"I know because I'm a doubter and have been one for a while. I was reviewing cars for CNBC while I was in college, and back then I called out Tesla's 2017 iteration of Autopilot for being over-confident, marketed with a misleading name and still, legally, not autonomous. All of those complaints hold true today, but even I must admit that Tesla has gotten closer to full autonomy than many ever expected in a car you can actually buy."
"Early Autopilot was just a classic combination of lane-following and adaptive cruise control. In the eight years since I first reviewed it, Tesla's flagship driver-assistance system has become Full Self Driving (Supervised), gaining the capability to handle basically every form of driving under a watchful human eye, not just divided highways. On the road between lie many lawsuits and fatal accidentsaccidents that I'd argue were preventable, if the system was more cautiously deployedbut the end result still astounded me."
During a roughly 150-mile drive in November, a Tesla Model Y operated under Full Self Driving (Supervised) for about 145 miles with minimal human intervention. The system managed numerous complex traffic situations with only about two safety-related interventions. The experience resembled genuine self-driving capability despite the vehicle not being fully autonomous. Full Self Driving (Supervised) evolved from lane-following and adaptive cruise control into a system capable of handling nearly all driving scenarios under human supervision. The package costs $8,000 for lifetime access or $99 monthly, and hardware updates are inconsistent across older vehicles. Multiple lawsuits and fatal accidents have occurred around its deployment.
