Tesla's 'full self-driving' remains unfinished. I found out first-hand

Tesla's "full self-driving" mode, tested for free in April on a Model Y, proved to be a work in progress. While it performed well on highways, handling about 80% of the driving, local driving was less reliable, with the system struggling in urban settings and near parked cars. Despite the allure of hands-free driving, the tester remained skeptical about the $8,000 price tag after the trial, preferring the standard "Autopilot" features already included.

Amidst personal testing, broader concerns about Tesla's Autopilot and full self-driving systems have emerged, with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration investigating recent updates due to safety incidents. Tesla's financial performance also suffered, with a significant drop in quarterly net profit and a decrease in vehicle prices to boost demand. Despite these challenges, Tesla secured a deal to introduce full self-driving cars in China, boosting its stock price.
