For Tesla, Facebook and Others, AI’s Flaws Are Getting Harder to Ignore

> I tried FSD on the $200/month plan and dropped it: It makes the car unsafe. To command a lane change you hold down the turn signal stalk. If you fail to hold it down long enough the car suddenly swerves back to the lane it was in. This is (to say the least) disconcerting at 80 mph.

That's not quite accurate. Unrelated to autopilot / FSD, you can do a small press on the turn signal and it will signal three times and then stop signaling. You can also push all the way down and it will signal until you turn it off. You don't have to hold it down.

FSD will only continue switching lanes while the turn signal is on, so if you do a small press down, you may see the behavior you described.

To clarify I'm talking about a lane change initiated by me rather than merely allowing one recommended by the car. The latter only requires a brief flick of the turn signal stalk.

But the former required me to actively hold it down for several seconds--much longer than a full turn signal would require. I had to hold it down until the car was completely within the stripes of the adjacent lane or the car would immediately swerve back into the original lane. I tested it many times on a traffic-free road. Might have been a setting; I don't know.

Interesting. Either way I only have to tap the stalk down.
