Yes it can drive, but it does so on a very sketchy way. Yes it's advanced, but not nearly advanced enough. The worst part, sometimes you can't react fast enough if the car makes a mistake.

Getting this beta off the roads cannot happen quickly enough. I don't want to risk my life for the gain of some company. I don't care if FSD drives 99% correctly, the 1% is what can cost lives.

If you look careful, you also see FSD is not a smooth drive at all. I'm on the edge of the seat all the time and people who are comfortable in it, are because of ignorance.

But by doing the beta test, we can get a safe FSD out sooner, and it doesn’t take much to be safer than the average driver. So even though running a beta on public roads has its risks, it might save lives in the long run if it means we get an effective FSD out 5 years sooner for example.
