Anyone disagree with this? FT: Tesla’s so-called “Full Self Driving” is a level 2 system on the Society of Automotive Engineers’s (SAE) six-point scale for autonomous vehicles, three levels below full autonomy. It requires the driver to take over duties as requested and to intervene in the event that it cannot function properly in a certain environment. Zoox and Waymo deploy level 4 systems that can operate without intervention. Highlight “Regardless of whether it might be theoretically possible to have a camera system that is sufficient there’s simply no evidence that Tesla has that,” says Bryant Walker Smith, an associate professor at the University of South Carolina who helped write the SAE standard.
