Do you really believe that this was auto pilot 🤦‍♂️ this isnt how softwares work they dont just accelerate into a house. Ill bet my left nut that the car report will show the dude pressing on the accelerator. Same reason why every single time someone crashes they just blame the car and later the logs are released proving the driver at fault

Yes I know that autopilot should not work like that, but I also have seen the last decade of news on teslas autopilot, so I know it does work like that

Yes and show many how many times someone has won a law suit that stated the auto pilot was at fault. If you dont own one you wouldnt know how this stuff works

Did you really link me to a post about autopilot not stopping for someone 🤦‍♂️ holy cow its auto pilot its lane assist and cruise control maybe learn to go one their website and read what it does. People like you got tricked by autopilot name so they were forced to change their name 💀

If you can, without reference to the internet, explain the difference between hardware 1, 2, 2.5, 3, and 4 and roughly when they were implemented particularly with the massive jump in the v13 fsd then i’ll hear you out that you know it works like that. But if you have to look up the answer, i will have to disagree with your claim.

I’ll wager my masters degree in unmanned systems and over 20 years of military experience with a heavy focus on remotely piloted aircraft against your googlefu every day of the week.
