Tesla moves Basic Autopilot features to paid FSD where available

테슬라는 네덜란드에서 기본 오토파일럿 기능을 무료 제공에서 유료 FSD(Full Self-Driving) 구독 모델로 전환했다. 네덜란드는 유럽 최초로 FSD 감독 주행 기능을 승인받은 시장으로, 테슬라는 이를 시험 무대로 삼아 구독 중심 전략을 도입했다. 이로 인해 기본 차선 유지 기능조차 월 99유로 구독 없이는 사용할 수 없게 되었으며, 유럽 내 다른 국가들도 곧 이와 유사한 전환이 예상된다. 경쟁사들은 이미 저가 모델에 기본 차선 유지 기능을 포함하고 있어 테슬라의 전략이 소비자 반발을 불러일으키고 있다.

I doubt it, for three reasons.

1: The conversions into km/h are given.

2: 70 km/h does not seem to match up with any major mainland European speed limit.

3: It's the same on the German site, which uses the English word "motorway" in the illustration.

Was ist das adaptive Frontbeleuchtungssystem?

Das adaptive Frontlichtsystem optimiert die Lichtverteilung Ihres Fahrzeugs je nach Fahrsituation. Zum Beispiel für Autobahn-, Stadt- oder Landstraßenfahrten sowie für Park- und Kurvenmanöver. Neben dem standardmäßigen Fern- und Abblendlicht nutzt das System auch...

Heh!

Speed up over 70mph: look like you are flashing your headlamps to yield to other traffic.

It certainly seems that humanity is *automating* the behaviours of the worst drivers on the road.

And calling it "safety" and "assistance".

Don't get me started on what "Intelligent Speed Assist" turns out to do in practice. (-:

How Does Intelligent Speed Assist Work?

Intelligent Speed Assist is designed to aid your speed control, enabling you to concentrate on the road. First, a front-facing camera automatically detects the current speed limit. If activated, the system adjusts your maximum speed setting to that limit*. *It...

What is with car manufacturers?

Ford U.K. has a vehicle feature designed for motorways that only kicks in when one is exceeding the maximum legal speed on any motorway.

What are Adaptive Headlamps

The adaptive front lighting system optimises your vehicle's headlight beam patterns to suit specific driving conditions. Such as for motorway, city, or country road driving, as well as parking and cornering manoeuvres. As well as your standard high beam and low...

The car industry continues to demonstrate its moral bankruptcy.

Proposals to allow lane changing systems in European and UK cars, BUT still class them as Level 2 (SAE) so the driver is held responsible.

Systems that do not work well, questionable if they ever can and which the driver is not actually in control of will be blamed if there's an issue.

Nice.
