Dude seemed to think it was his DD. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 19:08
But the autopilot feature cannot bring the car to a complete stop, so ... huh? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 18:47 6
- doesn't it have obstacle detection, auto emergency braking? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 26, 18:54 4
  - My understanding based on YT videos of it in action is that it can slow down at stop signs but not fully stop - the driver has to. - Beryllium Aug 26, 19:03 3
    - Autopilot can be used in stop and go traffic and will adjust speed to the car in front and come to a complete stop as the car in front stops. - TWuG Aug 26, 19:10 2
      - I would very much like to have Level 2, especially if it can handle switchbacks. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 19:28 1
        
        It depends. It's not meant for undivided roads and is geolocked to not function on some roads. - TWuG Aug 26, 20:10
- It can't? -- nm - Elon Musk Aug 26, 18:48
