You can ignore them. I don't care at this point. A lot of it is misunderstanding in terminology usage. I don't care about the levels, because they are not important to the consumer experience which is what I am primarily concerned about. I will admit to using imprecise language that contributed to misunderstandings. Tesla operates at level 2.
The only point I was trying to make was that FSD operates in more environments and can recognize more aspects of driving than Drive Pilot, and that they require the driver to pay attention because telling a driver they don't have to increases exposure to lawsuits and damages. They have demonstrated that the attentiveness requirement, generally, shields them from those lawsuits, removing the attention may remove that shield.
I will agree it is a misunderstanding. You misunderstood what the levels meant and what they describe and then you incorrectly used them in your explanations. You should refrain from using anything to do with the levels if you don't really know what they entail. Otherwise, you are giving posters here, and likely people IRL, incorrect information.
Your second paragraph is another example of you being wrong about this. They do not require them to pay attention "
because telling a driver they don't have to increases exposure to lawsuits and damages". When the vehicle is operating at Level 2 (whether with FSD or DrivePilot), the vehicle and its ADS are operating at a level that REQUIRES the "driver" to actively supervise the operation of the vehicle - as in, if they do NOT supervise the operation, the vehicle may not be able to operate correctly IN NORMAL OPERATION. This is not due to LIABILITY, but because of the functionality of the ADS.
