On September 6, a report from the U.S. automotive website Electrek revealed that Tesla has overhauled its definition of "Full Self-Driving" (FSD), moving away from its original commitment to driverless autonomous driving. Since 2016, Tesla has persistently asserted that every vehicle it manufactures would be capable of autonomous driving without human supervision. Starting from 2018, Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has repeatedly stated each year that this objective would be accomplished by the year's end. The company has gone as far as selling its FSD software package to customers for prices up to $15,000, with the assurance that its advanced driver-assistance system would be upgraded to full autonomy through remote updates. Yet, after nearly a decade, this pledge has not been delivered on. Tesla has now acknowledged that none of the vehicles manufactured between 2016 and 2023 come equipped with the essential hardware for autonomous driving without human oversight. Although Musk has mentioned the possibility of upgrading the computers in these cars, there are no concrete plans for execution at present. Tesla has subsequently revised its official communications and is currently only providing customers with a version of "Full Self-Driving (Requiring Human Supervision)," accompanied by detailed terms and conditions clarifying that this feature does not convert the vehicle into an "autonomous vehicle," nor does it guarantee such a capability as a vehicle trait.
