- jsight 7y agoThe words that you quote are from a demonstration video from 3 years ago. The features demonstrated were not available to the public and still aren't. Tesla's has never claimed that a current vehicle can drive itself without the driver being responsible for the vehicle at all times.
- task_queue 7y agoThe video was posted directly to the Autopilot page on Tesla's website. The video is also only 2 years old, not 3. > Tesla's has never claimed that a current vehicle can drive itself without the driver being responsible for the vehicle at all times. Yes, they did. Hence why the NHTSA and other groups went after Tesla for their claims about Autopilot.
