Comment Re:That's FSB, not standard autopilot (Score 1) 287

Even the summary says that standard autopilot is the one that cannot be used on roads without marking and that the car has not purchased Full Self Driving (implying that FSB is the one that would work). And just the title of your linked video clearly says it is about FSB (and watching the video, it's clear that with FSB the car doesn't really want to drive on that tiny road...). I assume you can read English, why the hate?
I mean, I wouldn't trust FSB personally (probably because I am a software engineer), but I don't like blatant misinformation.

If by FSB you mean Full Self-Drive Beta then you are wrong the guy is using Autopilot. The title is click-baity, but he is testing improvements to Autopilot in the UK since the release of FSD beta in the USA.
We don't have FSD in the UK probably due to the fact we drive on the 'wrong' side of the road.

Comment Re:Autopilot can be used on roads without marking. (Score 2) 287

This is pretty normal for a road in a rural community in the UK. It is not a One Way road, so it matters which side you are driving.
There are enough room for 2 cars to pass.

I'm not surprised a Tesla would get confused. Not exactly the worlds largest two "lane" road.

So when you are driving down a road your are unsure is a one way road do you drift to the wrong side?

Comment Re:Down with automation! (Score 1) 34

But airplanes are manufactured at a lot higher quality than cars, have multiple redundant system as well as a highly trained humans ready to take over control and recognise when to take over control when there is trouble, unlike your average Joe Sixpack in his SUV. Also airplanes are serviced at strict regular intervals to prevent faults occurring and in general airspace the aircraft fly through is highly regulated. Making automation simpler than on the ground.
