So it’s Audi using a confusing name for 4WD (the accepted term).
What’s the accepted term for level 5 autonomy?
What’s the accepted term for level 2?
Do you think there are tesla consumers being tricked by FSD capabilities? Right now it highlights that it auto drives on highways but not on streets… which is pretty accurate in my opinion. Where is the dishonesty?
You’re really grasping at straws with the Audi thing. First it was something that has never been said, and now a word for “four” is confusing for naming a four wheel drive system.
Full Self Driving would be acceptable and accurate for level 5.
Now for level 2 advanced driver assistance.
“The driver is only in the seat for legal reasons. The car is driving itself” is a current Tesla statement. That’s inaccurate.
“The car is driving itself until it can’t, or it does something it shouldn’t. But you’re in charge, and we legally disclaim any responsibility for failures of the car to drive itself” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, I admit.
Not clutching at straws. Using a direct comparison to a competing car company on marketing terms. If we are okay with companies calling features whatever they want. Then FSD is fine. If we aren’t, then let’s get the outrage train going on the entire car industry.
Your original phrasing was "misleading" and "confusing". "Quattro" may be vague, at worst, but I challenge you to define how it is either of those things.
Misleading: it originally referred to a rally car model made by Audi but is used to describe 4WD. It is usually advertised with shots of said rally car driving in a now illegal rally race.
Not misleading or confusing at all. I’m glad people focused on Audi’s Quattro out of my examples because it’s honestly the worst one.
> The driver is only in the seat for legal reasons. The car is driving itself.
and talk to me about "it's only marketing, you should understand".
Oh, and as the owner of three Audis over my life, there is NO material from Audi that calls it a "Quattro Engine".
It's the "Quattro all wheel drive system".
