Tesla's "Full Self-Driving" package will probably never achieve what its name implies. Its lack of sensor redundancy renders it incapable of overcoming misinterpretations of its camera feed, hence, Tesla has admitted to the state of California that FSD Beta will only ever be an SAE Level 2 automated driving assist.
