I understand why so many people hate Tesla, but they aren't allowed to drive fully automated without a human monitoring them, so not the same situation.
not sure if you're trolling or not but last i heard people simply strapping an exercise/weighted wrist band to the steering wheel which simulated torque being applied to the steering wheel which leads a Tesla to believe someone is paying attention. A quick search on Youtube reveals more than a few videos confirming this.
It may have been true at the time, but now Tesla uses the interior camera to make sure you are paying attention to the road.
If you don’t want to use the FSD beta, you don’t have to activate the camera, or you can put tape over it. With either of these actions the user can opt out but will not have the ability to use the beta.
No I was being serious. Searching turns up defeating the system with someone in the seat but not without. The other commenter provided a video showing it is possible from two month ago.
Be honest though, no one is doing this. At most some hacker messing around, but it's not at scale at all like the other companies. And even then, that's the fault of the driver, not Tesla.
That would be Autopilot or Enhanched Autopilot. Those with the real FSD Beta have to deal with in-cabin camera tracking which includes gaze detection to make sure you are paying attention.
My wife was telling me a new Prius she was driving freaks out and audio alerts if she looks away from the road. That sounded irritating but that car didn't claim to be self driving.
Yes, but the quality of the self-driving Tesla has is 10x less capable than Cruise - I don't know anyone who actually uses "self-driving" with any degree of confidence.
