Why YSK: Some car manufacturers, such as Tesla, will lie about the capabilities of their autonomous vehicles. Misplaced trust in self-driving technology leads drivers into making unsafe decisions while on the road, endangering the lives of themselves and drivers around them. Understanding what your car is capable of, in comparison to what the salesman told you it was capable of, is important to keep in mind when purchasing or operating such a product.

Currently, no Tesla product - including the inappropriately-named “Full Self Driving” mode - has surpassed Level 2 autonomy, falling behind competitors such as Waymo, NAVYA, and Volvo, who all have Level 4 cars in production.

    I think it’s misleading to even say that any car company is producing Level 4 autonomous vehicles. If you need to geofence a Level 4 car, then it’s not really Level 4.

      Was going to say the same thing. They’re all lying to make things look better then they are. If you have to quantify the scenarios where it reaches level 4, it’s probably not really at level 4.

      Also, why did anyone ever allow the name “Full Self Driving”, that name is steeped in false advertising.
