Autonomous has a definition, and it's easily understood by normal people:

>denoting or performed by a device capable of operating without direct human control.

This is in direct contradiction to how Tesla says FSD is to be used:

>Full Self-Driving (Beta) is a hands-on feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times, be mindful of road conditions and surrounding traffic, and always be prepared to take immediate action.

The fact that we are still arguing about this, when there are literally autonomous taxis driving around San Francisco, is really strange.

But my car can operating without direct human control, just for a limited time/in limited circumstances.

Same as Waymo, but their time/circumstance limitations are less
