NATFB (not a tesla fan boy) but isn’t there an inherent bias towards reporting and exploiting FSD’s faulty behaviors vs reporting the times where it saved butts?
In any case, how would you measure when FSD/AP "saved butts"? Every driver is expected to operate the systems with the same ability and awareness to manually intervene (i.e. save themselves) as if the automation wasn't in place.
I would not know how to measure it, but Karpathy provided a clear example during a talk at CVPR 2021 where the FSD (rightfully) slammed the break as a driver was driving his car literally into a lake.
1. drive straight into a concrete barrier https://youtu.be/Tr-oF7J0cBw?t=13
2. drive straight under a tractor trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BgV-YnHZeE
In this instance
3. Come to a complete halt in a tunnel with busy high speed traffic for no apparent reason.
And the excuse that the driver should have been ready to take over within fractions of a second of the Tesla making a mistake while in FSD is absurd expectations on human reflexes and attention.
