Why is Tesla FSD afraid of the dark?

It's worth pointing out and placing IR lighting in front of yourself could damage your vision.

Alternatively you could mount a 40w 6500k LED fixture in that same spot to replicate the experience oncoming drivers have when your FSD system keeps brights on all the time ;)

Hah - fair point :).

I never really realized it until I watched the Technology Connections video about headlights, but now I notice it all the time: improper use of high beams or improperly aimed headlights are horribly selfish and dangerous for others.

I’m loving some of the tech there is to shape the beam based on oncoming vehicles. But even just being in front of a car with headlights aiming right into your cabin is terrible.

Missing hardware doesn't inspire confidence.

You probably won't get Hardware 4 either:

Full self-driving hasn't happened. At this point Tesla should refund everyone's FSD money.

FSD actually isn't a big part of what Tesla sells. They have $1B set aside from sales revenues of the FSD option to pay for implementation.

That sounds like a big number, but it's less than the revenue of 2 days car production.

Good, then there's no reason to rip people off in the meantime. Refund the money now and only charge customers money if and when they deliver actual factual full self-driving.

Tesla backed themselves into this corner. They have lied about the state of full self-driving for years and they have failed to deliver on their own self imposed deadlines.

Teslas don't even do full self-parking, nevermind full self-driving:

Tesla admits they have failed to deliver (as an attempt to avoid being done for fraud):

So, now that Tesla has done the hard thing of admitting to their failure, they can do the easy thing of returning the money.

You committed financial suicide by believing a conman

I thought FSD != Autopilot

"Driver assist" not FSD

Lol that's pretty... silly of Tesla :)
