How about the fact that Tesla is killing people and covering it up?

Would you go to a driver's funeral and tell their family that um, ackshully it's sparkling autopilot?

What do you think you're adding to the conversation? You're trying to distract from the fact that real, actual people have been actually killed by this.

It's not a semantic issue, FSD is a completely different system, but many people mix up the terms when discussing these systems due to poor naming. Autopilot is just cruise control and lane keep. FSD handles navigation and full vehicle control. Articles discussing the dangers of Autopilot are making perfectly reasonable claims about a system which was poorly named/marketed, but they are not meaningfully relevant to conversations about FSD.
