Is Full Self-Driving truly autonomous?

Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, available for test drives on other models, is a Level 2 driver-assistance feature. It requires active driver supervision and is not fully autonomous. The Cybercab, however, is designed as a Level 5 vehicle, meaning it operates without any human intervention.
