I bought a used Tesla and had very low expectations for FSD’s usefulness, and those were shattered. All my complaints are stylistic - accelerates a bit too quick, hesitates a bit longer in some cases. Steering wheel is a bit jumpy on turns at low speeds, but not unsafe.
The only explanation I can come up with is that there is either a well-motivated group that wants FSD to be bad, or there is some huge variation between vehicles and I lucked out on my car’s cameras being aligned right or something. Maybe the roads in my area are easier than normal, but I’m in a large non-California metro area, so I don’t think I’m unrepresentative.
> AMCI found that, on average, when operating FSD, human intervention is required at least once every 13 miles to maintain safe operation.
I drove a 200 mile road trip last week, combination of city, suburb, interstate, rural. Didn’t take over except to pull in/out of driveways. So this statement is just mind boggling - implies that my drive last week was, like, a 3 or 4 sigma event. But I’ve done it more than once. At some point, it stops being anecdotes and starts being “I simple cannot square your number with my experience”
Last time I said something positive about FSD here, someone suggested I’m simply forgetting the many times it must try to kill me. Debates around this get wild.
I will not reply to anything negative below, because I’ve learned it’s much more fun to have my car drive me around town than argue with people who insist it can’t.
