Yeah - sound a warning, shake the steering wheel, and delete any record that self driving mode was engaged.

Can it? I'm not sure it can be expected Tesla has thoroughly tested anything from their 'FSD' before pushing it out to their testers/customers.

There’s a YT video of a guy taping over the cams one by one. The car performs still pretty impressively even with most cameras blocked.

(I was pointed to this video because I, too had been skeptical after seeing normal “navigate on autopilot” disable itself due to one camera being blinded by the sun. Apparently, FSD is much better at handling such situations.)

Pretty sure I've seen that video and it totally oversold itself. Other drivers tried the same:

Nope, I meant this one (FSD/HW 3): https://youtu.be/77cbSy-rBEQ

This is way more realistic than the original video, but yeah once the main sensor is blocked it starts driving erratically (even more so than usual)

Not sure if that's exactly unexpected...

That's AP 2 hardware and computer... Not sure what it proves about AP HW 3 at all, or even AP 2.5.

Right, I forgot that Tesla threw out every single line of code, every single model, and crushed all AP2 cars when AP 2.5 came around. Same again for AP 3.

(Those of us who live in reality like to use the concept of inference)
