I am aware that FSD has a different software stack. But it's the same hardware. So why would they make the detection of kids different on the standard firmware artificially worse? As Marketing for people who hate school kids?
I find it laughable that there still are Musk fanboys who after a decade of lies about this still believe in "Robotaxis". 90% of them clearly have never tried to drive a Tesla in a scenario where the minimal protections for kids to use public street space is not "kids should get a SUV to not get killed".
It is also amusing to watch videos of Tesla fanboys on YouTube who proudly show that their Tesla now can use FSD for up to 500 miles without a single crash (or "critical disengagement)". A human driver statistically causes a crash every 500,000 miles.
But yes, we will have flying Robotaxis in 2 weeks from now, that will solve this problem. Musk said so.

Not sure what's your argument here. The visualization you get using "Enhanced Autopilot" is completely different to the one you get using "FSD Beta" because the software you are running is completely different as well.
The point is not the visualization towards the driver. It's that the same data clearly is the base for the decisions this car makes. If it is not showing the kid crossing the street, you also will not get an emergency break warning, which I get in tons of other situations.
I think the idea is, why would the visualization be so intentionally bad in the Autopilot version as to not detect the kids entirely? What benefit does that confer, or, from another perspective, what software constraint forces this to be the case?
Hmm, that might be possible, but that's essentially not what I assumed. At the very least, they operate on the same hardware, so Autopilot is in some sense "intentionally bad" as a whole.
Not defending Musk, I don’t like him but I am not sure why you would think two separate software stacks should somehow be comparable. Maybe it’s my old age but I get tired of these style of rants where folks are fixated on a single thing.
