Now I'm curious, was the original purpose of releasing "Full Self-Driving" 20 years before it was safe a merely a ploy to lock in trade mark rights?

20 years before it was safe

I think you're giving elon and other carbrains way too much credit here. We don't have any definitive proof that this kind of technology can be made safe on roads as we know them today, and there is ample evidence to suspect that this kind of problem is not solvable with modern techniques.

it would be quite a bit safer with lidar but melon-musk is such a piece of shit his cars don't use it.

"full self-driving" is nowhere near "full" and is only vaguely self-driving and it should be illegal to call it that.

Yeah, but it would still fail when the lidar gets "adversarially attacked" by a fucking shadow moving in just the wrong way
