You can literally type in an address and the car will take you there with zero input on the driver's part. If that's not full self-driving then I don't know what is.

Who is responsible if there is an accident, you or Tesla? That is the difference from true FSD and regular driver assistance features.

Regarding driving regulations -

If we had better raw data, I'm sure we could come up with better conclusions. Knowing the absolutely tremendous amount of BS that Musk spews, we can't trust anything Tesla reports. We're left to speculate.

At this point, it is probably best to compare statistics for other cars with similar technologies. For example, Volvo reported that they went 16 years without a fatal accident in their XC90 model in the UK (don't know about other places). That was a couple of years ago, I don't know if they have been able to keep that record up. With that kind of record that has lasted for so long, I think we have to ask why Tesla is so bad.
