He
absolutely has not said the current released system is for unmanned use.
Your claim is grossly, factually, untrue.
Yes, that is about current operation, not about future intent.
"future" intent doesn't even make sense in this context. You keep misunderstanding the SAE standard and adding words that don't exist in it.
The system sold today
is not intended for unmanned use
Despite your just claiming otherwise 10 seconds ago.
Here it is in writing in case you're still unclear you're wrong about it.
Admit it. First you said SAE levels have nothing to do with intent
Nothing to do with the FUTURE intent of things it
does not currently do
Because it doesn't.
That seems obvious to everyone other than you here.
. I quote the manual where intent has everything to do with level
This, again, is grossly and factually wrong.
Your ignored 95% of their requirements and definition, then added words to the 5% you liked that aren't there.
SAE lists a bunch of things that are
required functionality for L5.
Then states they don't test it personally or anything- they go by the stated intent of the system from its maker.
If a car maker says "Here is our L5 system. It is intended to do all the things SAE requires on an L5 system"
then it's an L5 system.
In other words they're telling you the system as they are selling it to you
is intended to work without ever needing a human under any conditions
Because that's what L5 driving
is
By SAE definition.
Tesla has
never, ever, ever made such a claim about any system available to the public (including the FSD beta)
They hope to offer a system like that someday.
Today is not that day.
Tomorrow isn't looking good either.
You keep not understanding the fundamental difference between:
"The system we are offering today is intended to do this thing"
and
"The system we are offering today ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT DO THIS THING but we intend to improve it some nebulous day in the future to do so"
SAE is discussing that first one.
You are confusing it with the second one.
and you completely fail to admit you are completely and absolutely wrong.
Mainly because I'm not wrong at all.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you I'm afraid.
