The current Tesla FSD beta has no purpose other than as a tech demo, but people absolutely treat it as if it's ready to be your chauffeur while you take a nap in the back seat.

The biggest delta is probably follow distance in edge cases.
I generally try to keep good follow distance pretty religiously, but FSD does it better. And I’m not talking about the amount of distance. If anything it is closer on average then I would be. I’m talking about the edge case moments when overtaking or getting over to an exit; it is consistently, assiduously, safe at points where I might take a risk and it will not. It also sees way more than I can.
Also, it does not have an ego.
And it lets me detach my ego involvement with how another driver is behaving. Related, it handles stop and go absolutely amazingly and completely removes the stress of the experience.
This is a bizarre take. FSD beta is many things beyond a demo. To name a few, it’s gathering data, it’s testing the system and improving, and it’s training other drivers, pedestrians, and governments how to live in a world that has FSD cars on the road.
