Tesla Driver assistance as it exists today makings driving far easier. You can relax and once you learn where it needs help very rarely take over. It only needs to continue the rate of improvement for another 9 months and you have robot taxi.

Lots of people are ignoring this because of politics.

Its needed another 9 months for about 5 years now. Tell me, was it also for political reasons that Tesla stopped reporting disengagement data?

The difference is that it’s not Elon saying this anymore. It’s the actual beta testers, and other people that work at Tesla saying this.

The Elon hate is so ingrained here, people are ignoring what’s happening right in front of their eyes.

This is what is in front of our eyes: https://www.templetons.com/brad/robocars/timeline.html

Maybe yours see something different.

You're looking at the wrong stuff....

Right. I'm looking at demonstrated competence in operating a Robotaxi service in the real world, backed by statistical data. You are looking at a video of a Waymo taxi stuck in traffic next to a video of a Tesla that is not. I have no idea how many takes were required for either of those videos. Please respond to the substance of the milestones in the links I shared - why is 100k miles per incident "the wrong stuff" ?

Yes that is what i'm saying but people still have the "I HATE ELON" blinders on and can't think for themselves.

It's so funny to see the mental gymnastics and just plain ignorance. We literally have videos of FSD V13 doing basically what Waymo does (and more - like highway driving), yet they all have their heads in the sand.

Its so funny to see Elmo stans fap to literally anything produced by the God Emperor rather than pay attention to the actual facts on the ground. Tesla has a track record of 10 years of broken promises, and frankly out-right lies about the capability of their product.

I've made millions of dollars and my car drives me around today because of Elon. I'm not sure why you think I should hate the guy like you do?

Because a Tweet from 2016 wasn't accurate?

Lmao, I’m in the exact same situation as you.

These people probably have never even tried FSD. They have no idea

No, people are ignoring it because they’ve been “9 months away” from robo taxis for at least five years now. 80 / 20 rule.
