Tesla Influencers Try to Present FSD as Safe While Almost Hitting a Cyclist

I was able to understand this phenomenon a bit when I realized that a number of Tesla supporters are simply pro car. Thus pedestrians, cyclists etc are considered interlopers to the roads, and if the supporters weren't Tesla enthusiasts they'd be making similar comments when driving their dinosaur burner.

It doesn't justify their comments, but at least made me understand a bit.

(I'm the opposite and believe all roads except controlled-access freeways and rail roads are for humans first, and then cyclists -- cars are there on sufferance)

As compared to, what, human drivers?

I am not convinced that Tesla is making good tradeoffs regarding saftey/driver convenience. But you will notice that the government can force Tesla to "recall" their software to make a full stop at stop signs. You can't do that to human drivers.

Purchased a pre-owned Model 3 last month. It's an amazing ride. So much better than any other car I've ever driven. Autopilot on the highway is very convenient, but even in those relatively situations it messes up every now and then. No way actual FSD is anywhere near.

This article is meant to influence opinion with anecdotes, without actually providing data. I would like to see articles like this cite actual stats on Tesla FSD accidents vs. human-driver accidents.
