  GROK: Supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) in Tesla vehicles is a Level 2 partial automation system under SAE standards. The car handles steering, acceleration, and braking in many situations, but the driver must remain fully attentive, monitor the environment, and be prepared to intervene instantly at any moment. Tesla explicitly states that FSD (Supervised) "requires active driver supervision and does not make the vehicle autonomous." Your concern— that humans are prone to complacency and distraction, leaving them unprepared for rapid intervention —is a well-established issue in human factors engineering and a core criticism of Level 2 systems. Human Factors: Why Complacency Happens Humans perform poorly at sustained vigilance tasks, especially when the automated system handles the majority of the workload reliably for extended periods. This leads to: Automation complacency / over-reliance : Trust builds quickly when the system performs well most of the time. Drivers reduc...
