Experts says Tesla's 'full self-driving' feature is really a partial self-driving feature, that handles minor driving tasks
Washington, DC Tesla is selling its cars with the option of"full self-driving capability," a feature that's drawing criticism from experts on self-driving technology. They say CEO Elon Musk is playing fast and loose with definitions, overselling the technology and potentially creating safety issues.
When Tesla announced the $35,000 Model 3 Thursday, it said it would come with an optional $5,000 feature: full self-driving capability. The system will offer"automatic driving on city streets" as an update later this year, according to Tesla's website.
