99% of my driving is FSD. Yea it took a while but with FSD 14 it's finally here. No other consumer self-driving is close. If you saw what this thing could do you would never not use it. It's like driving without a seatbelt now. You would never not want to be driving without it.

View on HN

I had a former coworker who loved letting the FSD drive him places. He used to love driving people for lunch, ignoring all the crazy red flags like the car's inability to consistently detect other vehicles on the road around it or stay in the (clearly marked) lanes.

Then one day on the way home from work FSD nearly killed him.

He survived, but he will be crippled for life.

the remaining 1% when it drives you straight into crash barrier is sort of important

Are you sleeping in the back of the car while it drives itself, or is it still a party trick?

Be careful and dont drink the kool aid...all from 2025...

I don't need to drink anything. Having two drivers is better than one.

Honestly, I'm done trying to convince FSD deniers. You'll be in an autonomous car full-time in 10 years, no matter what, so who cares?

We're not really "denying" anything when we are agreeing with reality..

You're not agreeing with reality because you haven't used FSD 14. You're making assumptions on headlines and older versions. And honestly, 95% of the time, people are making assumptions about FSD when, in reality, they're thinking about Autopilot.

Ah how strange to make assumptions about revision 14, when “full self driving” rev 1-13 sucked and killed people.

"You'll be in an autonomous car full-time in 10 years, no matter what"

Hmmm... maybe. It's possible that in 10 years I'll still be driving the car I drive today, although not that likely. Pretty sure my next car will be electric. Autonomous I'm not so sure about. We'll see, I guess.

I don't entirely get the appeal of a self-driving car. What am I going to do while the car drives itself? I can't read in a moving vehicle. On a long trip, the most likely thing I would do is fall asleep and that does not seem like a great idea.

Just ten more years! Take my money!

Yea that's right, 10 years for you in your car. Right now, for people who own Teslas.

It stops working if a little dirt gets on the camera.

Except it doesn't. Are you basing your comment on experience or Reddit posts?
