>Factually wrong, they are a category down from actual self-driving tech developers.

Well they're the only people offering anything this quality unless your one of the hundreds of people in Phoenix that can order a Waymo (that still has a person driving).

>some people think that calling the driving assistance software an autopilot is borderline false advertisement.

Well my 'driving assistance' drove me 95% of the way to work this morning hands free feet free, seems pretty appropriate to call it autonomous to me.

Tesla also happens to have a fanbase who would defend them with passion, making claims and arguing for hours that you can indeed download car performance from the internet, that driving assist is an autonomous driving even though Tesla says that it isn't and you should always stay alert and if you get slammed into a wall(like that poor Apple engineer) you should have known better.

It's really not about tech but about the brand. Since Stave Job is no longer with us, Musk happens to own the tech visionary title.

It can be annoying but I'm glad that Tesla exists an it's brand is pushing the big players into electric cars.

I don't understand. People went to sleep, their car updated via internet, and they woke up with more performant cars. This really happened. Obviously the car didn't changed the hardware, it changed the software, and the car drove better.
