This is excellent and really helps show how it was going engines first at the end.
I would define the core capability as "takes audio, extracts meaning, matches to intent, executes intent". Everything else is an implementation of a specific intent/action. Some of them are likely fragile and depend on integration APIs that may be changing or going away.
Ultimately, yes, it is corporate-speak to sugarcoat what looks like a net negative for users at the current time with nebulous claims of a better future.
"focus" is the key word. There are only so many resources, and if you have to spend time maintaining and testing features that don't get use, you can't spend those resources on the features that do get use, or on anything new.
Is the end result truly a better experience? Who knows, but the phrasing isn't quite as nonsensical as it seems.
I'll bet you one upvote, and I'll pay it right now!
Exactly. Or, using the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping that many cars have these days. (Regular) Autopilot is becoming less of a unique feature of Teslas.
I would like to believe (but lack data to point to to support it) that ADAS is making roads safer overall. There are cases that aren't covered yet, and driver complacency is a problem for those, but so is complacency in a driver's belief that they can stare at a phone in their lap but not drift out of their lane and cause an accident, which is something ADAS will protect against.
I looked at subreddit stats and comment rates dropped significantly across ~10 subreddits I checked (both small and large) in about mid-July, and the up vote count in a small sub (weekly posts, each got a consistent amount of up votes) dropped by about half around the same time. I haven't gone back except to some niche communities that haven't gained traction on lemmy, but at least based on the data things did change.
Salzburg, Mariazell (specifically hiking through Ötschergräben), and anywhere in the Austrian Alps are all excellent.
They've since corrected it:
Correction: A previous version of this post incorrectly stated that the max apogee of the flight was 49.7 miles. In fact, the VSS Unity reached a max altitude of 55 miles.
Autopilot on freeways? Definitely better than the average driver. FSD on freeways? Same thing. I rely on those constantly, and also get frustrated when people complain about AP being unsafe.
FSD on streets? Definitely still worse than the average driver, at least in places that don't have perfectly laid out street grids and properly painted lane lines which is what I deal with. I can't make it through a drive on streets without disengaging multiple times.
The problem is these three different things get lumped together in conversations/articles all the time.

Trains must have stopped derailing, all we hear about now is planes. /s
