    Tesla full self driving is a $8,000 option, and BYD aim to sell a whole car for that?

    They really have rested on their laurels, haven’t they?

      FSD isn’t even real, too, so if BYD’s is, they already won even without the price tag difference.

        It’s not self driving in the sense that the car needs no driver input, but it seems to be as good or better as any other enhanced cruise control system.

            Essentially it’s just cruise control + collision avoidance (although the collision avoidance bit doesn’t really work) + lane control.

            If the lane goes around the corner then the car will go around the corner without human input but it won’t turn off the road to follow navigational directions. FSD is about 80% of the way there, but the final 20% is really the bit that matters and is also the hardest.

            A better acronym would be SAD = Slightly Automated Driving
