Tesla’s full self-driving mode is actually not fully self-driving - a podcast by Marketplace

Tesla will soon allow more drivers to have access to “full self-driving” mode, according to tweets by CEO Elon Musk. Drivers will pay $10,000 upfront or between $100 and $200 a month to use the software. Up until now, a beta version has been available to a select group of people. And the name “full self-driving” kind of implies that the car will drive itself. But, as Tesla notes on its website, that is not the case right now — these cars will not be autonomous. Marketplace’s Marielle Segarra speaks with Alistair Weaver, editor-in-chief at the car-shopping site Edmunds.
