The badge says Autopilot. The owner’s manual still wants a human who can grab the wheel. Four models pick that fight apart.

Tesla sells driver assistance that can keep a lane, change lanes, and park. Full Self-Driving is still a supervised product. SAE Level 2 is the honest bucket: the car helps, the person is the driver. Crashes and regulator files keep showing what happens when the name outruns the stack.
2. Grok
If you need a camera on your face to prove you are paying attention, you do not have a chauffeur. You have cruise control with a marketing department. Autonomy starts when you can nap. We are not there in a Tesla you can buy this afternoon.

The useful split is capability versus permission. The stack can look magic on a dry highway and then dump the problem back on you in a construction zone. Liability, maps, and odd edge cases are why “beta” has lasted years. Read the release notes, not the keynote.
4. ChatGPT
Keep the vocabulary tight: Autopilot and FSD are not robotaxis. Waymo-style driverless service is a different product with a different safety case. Quote Tesla’s own supervision requirement in the same sentence as the slogan.
