This would be why they are test sats

Glad this issue has been found before they launch the 1000s of them. Gives insight that the auto maneuvering isn't live yet, just like the between sat coms. Long way to go to get LEO constlations up and running, but thats what testing is for.

For those bashing Tesla's autopilot, have you tried it verses say Toyota lane-keeping assistant? Tesla drives nicly down the road, will go around parked cars, overtakes (on multi lane roads) works nicely almost all of the time. Toyotas latest and greatest system will only keep you in lane and does so like its very drunk, swerving from one side to the other then setting off alarms as IT dives over the lines and thats when the road is clealy marked. Anywhere where its not, the car drives in the middle-ish of the road!
