Tesla hasn't used the term robotaxi in official material.

But they do regularly use the term "full self driving" which it definitely does not do.

[Veserv]

Yes they have.

At 3:13:41. Robotaxis is clearly written on that slide. Elon Musk is talking about robotaxis for minutes as well during the official presentation to investors.

I suppose you could argue that as long as the car is doing the driving, it is in fact full self driving, even if you have to watch it?

[kelnos]

No, you can't argue that. No reasonable person would see "full self-driving" and assume it means they have to watch it like a hawk instead of taking a nap or watching a movie.

Well, at least no reasonable person before Musk had normalized this garbage.

My (non-Tesla) car has adaptive cruise and lane-keeping, and it works quite well. The car is certainly "doing the driving" to some extent, but "full self-driving? No, definitely not.

[Grustaf]

It’s not “full”, since it only works in very limited circumstances.

[almost_usual]

By that definition any car with cruise control is “full self driving”.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but cruise control doesn't turn off the highway, drive down surface streets, obey streetlights and signs, and navigate you home on its own.

[Grustaf]

Cruise control only manages the speed, right?
