What false advertising? It’s called “Full Self Driving (Supervised)”.
For many years the "supervised" was not included, AFAIK Tesla was forced to do that.
And in this case "supervised" isn't even enough, because the car made an abrupt unexpected maneuver, instead of asking the driver to take over in time to react.
The driver isn’t supposed to wait for the car to tell them to take over lol. The driver is supposed to take over when necessary.
No if you look at Waymo as an example, they are actually autonomous, and ask for assistance in situations they are "unsure" how to handle.
But even if you claim was true, in what way was this a situation where the driver could deem it necessary to take over? It was clear road ahead, and nothing in view to indicate any kind of problem, when the car made a sudden abrupt left causing it to roll upside down.
The attention required to prevent these types of sudden crashes negates the purpose of FSD entirely.
