>>Tesla’s Full Self-Driving technology may be a failure, Tesla lawyers admit — but it’s not a fraud.
But it IS a fraud when you state or imply that it is usable with capabilities X, Y, and Z, and it actually is not.
Merely calling it "Full Self Driving" is a very clear statement that the damn thing will drive itself, and do so fully.
1st DDG Definition: Full: "2. Complete in every particular."
So, if is supposed to drive itself. Moreover, Tesla & Musk claim this capability is complete in every particular, as in it does it itself, not requiring me to add any capability.
This FSD claim has been going on since like 2014, with "autopilot Hardware 2.0" shipping when Barack Obama was still president [0].
Yet we still have nothing resembling actual "Full Self Driving" - which would be get in the car, tell it where to go, and get there without touching any controls or worrying about errors.
It'd be one thing if it was promised last year and it was not quite here yet.
But this is closer to a decade and FSD is NOWHERE CLOSE to this capability. This is one of the biggest vaporware scams ever.
Tesla used to market this as "Full self driving hardware" on their website. They conveniently did not mention that you would also need the software, which still does not exist.
