Tesla, however, has a history of overpromising.
然而，特斯拉有一段誇大的歷史。
When the company first introduced Full Self-Driving (FSD) in 2016, it claimed that the car would eventually be able to drive itself completely, with no supervision required.
當該公司於2016年首次推出全自動駕駛（FSD）時，聲稱汽車最終將能夠完全自動駕駛，無需監督。
Musk touted that it would be roughly two years before driverless cars could be summoned. See below.
馬斯克聲稱大約兩年後就可以召集無人駕駛汽車了。見下文。
In ~2 years, summon should work anywhere connected by land & not blocked by borders, eg you're in LA and the car is in NY
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 10, 2016
約2年後，召集應該在任何陸地連接的地方都能工作，不受邊界阻擋，例如您在洛杉磯，汽車在紐約。
—埃隆·馬斯克 (@elonmusk) 2016年1月10日
But by 2024, Tesla hadn't revealed any driverless tech. It even changed the acronym on its app from FSD to "Supervised," meaning drivers still have to keep their hands on the wheel and pay attention to the road.
但是到2024年，特斯拉還沒有公佈任何無人駕駛技術。甚至將應用程序中的縮略語從FSD更改爲「受監督」，這意味着駕駛員仍然必須將雙手放在方向盤上並注意道路情況。
Whether the Robotaxi event reveals any progress in this segment remains to be seen.
關於Robotaxi活動是否展示了這一領域的任何進展，尚待觀察。
Regardless of how far along autonomous technology is, the stakes remain high for ride-sharing services like Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:UBER) and Lyft Inc (NYSE:LYFT).
無論自動駕駛技術發展到何種程度，對於Uber Technologies Inc（紐交所:UBER）和Lyft Inc（紐交所:LYFT）等共乘服務來說，風險依然很高。

當一個無人駕駛出租車可能通過輕敲就能得到時，爲何要依賴於人類司機，包括小費在內？
