Well, convenience often has its price. Only, in this case, despite the hype from Tesla, this technology is not yet proven. I certainly wouldn't trust it with my life.

Actually, the concept behind that urge is quite simple.....here's nothing complex about it.

I read that full self driving isn't really full self driving. That the autosteer part for city street is still going to be delayed. And the 2016+ cars were sold as full self driving complaint for the future so no hardware updates would be needed. Now I'm reading that there will be a $1500 hardware upgrade needed for those cars.

Sounds like a mess.

Tesla wants owners to pay $1,500 for hardware they thought they already had (msn.com)

If I'm going to have a babysit something intensely like that, I'd rather just do the driving myself.

Also nothing worse than seeing a Tesla on the freeway. When I see one, I do everything I can to mess with them.
Why do you do this??

Bragging on a public forum that you intentionally target drivers and put everyone in danger = priceless.

At least I don't have to thumb through some retarded 19 inch tablet in the car to find the nearest charging station so I can waste 45 minutes just so I can drive the damn thing, which was a rip-off to begin with.

What's your definition of targeting? Love how you think I'm a danger to society now. Lo you're funny

I'm not the one who ****s with cars on the freeway just because they don't like the brand. So who's really butt-hurt here?

Have you done long distance drives on busy and empty highways?

Looking forward to letting the car do most of the job!

Maybe a better question is what is your definition?
