So not actually FULL anything and Tesla should be held accountable for creating safety issues due to false advertising.
The driver is to blame for their actions, but not the only one to blame.
Working Pedals (mostly)
Attached steering wheel (kind of)
Yes the naming convention is dumb but it wasn't at fault here.
Are you suggesting the system should ignore full pedal press?
Not at all and I have no idea how you got from 'this name is misleading in a dangerous way' to suggesting it work differently.
I think it is very clear from what they wrote that they want Tesla's advertising practices, such as calling their driver aids "Full Self-Driving" to stop, since it creates a false impression.
Ah, so just botching in general and not at all related to the article in someone died.
If I want crass, I'll go to Facebook.
It's more related to the term "Full Self Driving". It implies that the car is it's own driver and therefore, that you are a passenger. A driver needs to always have control, even if some passenger messes with the pedals because he fell asleep.
