Yup, after getting a Tesla with a free FSD trial period, it was obviously a death trap if used in any kind of slightly complex situation (like the highway on-ramp that was under construction for a year).
At least once every few days, it would do something extremely dangerous, like try to drive straight into a concrete median at 40mph.
The way I describe it is: yeah, it’s self-driving and doesn’t quite require the full attention of normal driving, but it still requires the same amount of attention as supervising a teenager in the first week of their learning permit.
If Tesla were serious about FSD safety claims, they would release data on driver interventions per mile.
Also, the language when turning on FSD in vehicle is just insulting—the whole thing about how if it were an iPhone app but shucks the lawyers are just so silly and conservative we have to call it beta.
I understand not restarting from a stop unprompted. There are simply too many situations on the road where automatically moving from a stop may be undesirable in case the driver isn't paying attention. Stop signs, four way stops, yield situations, probably more. Safer overall to make it an intentioned action by the driver.
I kind of get it but it reality sucks in bumper to bumper. But why cut off at 25mph? Like I can’t use it in a camera zone to maintain snail speed below the camera threshold
