I have absolutely no problem with self-driving vehicles and I'm fully prepared to accept that it is a possibility in the near future. However I am also utterly confident that it won't be Tesla that finally cracks it, and I am sure that they will still call it "full self driving" even in a future where we have actual full self driving.

The law really needs to be laid down on this stuff, unless it can actually drive itself without a human even in the vehicle, and do so reliably, then they're not allowed to call it anything that implies that capability.
