Autonomous Driving Technology - FSD Version 14 is considered effectively unsupervised, resembling SAE Level 5 autonomy [1] - Tesla aimed for full autonomy from the beginning, bypassing incremental SAE levels [2] - Focusing on SAE levels can hinder innovation, turning engineering into bureaucratic processes [3] - U S regulations prioritize safety outcomes and data over adherence to SAE levels [4] Industry Perspective - Legacy automakers followed SAE levels incrementally, while Tesla pursued direct autonomy [2] - The industry should prioritize innovation and real-world performance over rigid adherence to standards [3][4]
