The excitement to setup a brand new PS5 6 months before anyone else and very little training vs operating a motor vehicle that can end in death when things go wrong is not the same.

At the end of the day, it requires a human to be licensed to operate a vehicle. Why should we not expect the FSD to be licensed, or have a new license category for the humans on how to operate one?

Sure, novelty makes sense. That would explain why a reasonable person might try it out for a few minutes in a dry, daytime, low speed, low traffic area.
