Please #journalists. Please. I am begging you. Stop doing this.
#Tesla's #Autopilot product is not at all, "partially" or otherwise, capable of "self-driving".
The official term, if you need to use something, is a "partial automated driving system" and the control responsibilities of the human driver utilizing such a system are exactly the same as if they were driving a 1995 Dodge Neon.
But, truth be told, the #SAE#J3016 standard has been a mistake from the start, IMO.
What was supposed to be a broad taxonomy of automated driving features has been basically warped (understandably so) by marketing and the media to fit certain narratives.
Worse still, J3016 is not a safety standard and laypeople (again, understandably) attempt to cram it into some sort of safety argument.
We really just needed a safety standard - and not some arbitrary taxonomy.
