As someone who has trialed FSD, I'd say the haters are out of sorts.

There are situations it handles surprisingly well. I drove through some road construction and FSD gracefully handled following the traffic cones that guided cars outside the painted lines. I was able to have FSD drive me from right outside my house (It won't back out of the driveway yet) to a friend's house across town completely automated with zero intervention. 15 miles of both surface streets (Including neighborhood streets with no painted lines and curbs lined with cars) and busy highway.

But there are still some bone-headed things it does. When one lane turns into two, it still sometimes gets confused and tries to drive in the middle and then suddenly decides to take a specific lane and swerves into it. It is overly cautious at stop signs and will easily piss off anybody behind you.

I truly believe that Tesla will achieve actual FSD, but it just won't be on the timescale that Elon keeps saying. I also think that FSD will eventually be Level 5 capable, but they won't call it Level 5 and still expect drivers to pay attention so they can dodge legal liability.

Yes. Kidding aside I am fairly satisfied with FSD. I don't expect it to perform miracles - but it does a pretty damn good job of rolling the car safely down the road when I don't want to do it.

Well, who would've thought that the real world is actually hard?

At worst it's a partial fraud though.
