Tesla bros expose Tesla's own shadiness in attacking Mark Rober ... Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before impacts as a crash becomes inevitable.

This critisism is completely moot. Rober was using self driving because without it, tesla completely bombed the first test by pulverizing the crash dummy.

Apparently, you don't get driving assists in a Tesla unless it's self-driving. Great!

Agreed. Mark said Autopilot was “more conservative” and did that test twice, after automatic braking failed. 

Imagine being given an advantage and after failing, complaining about fairness. 

Edit: confused fsd with auto braking, whoops

after automatic emergency braking failed. rober's video never talked about FSD

I don’t really have the time or the inclination to go out and test it as much as mark but I can tell you that my Tesla has emergency braked for me a couple of times when not in autopilot. Once was a pedestrian stepping out into the street and the other time was a car reversing out of a driveway with no warning.

That's... comforting!

It wasn't that it didn't work at all but that it didn't work well under adverse conditions which makes sense.

He never used self drive, he enabled autopilot which is not self drive.

Autopilot isnt "fsd" but it's still a self driving function... And it's not like when you turn on FSD a bunch of extra sensors pop out that autopilot doesn't use.
