I agree. Tesla FSD has so many obvious limitations that can be worked out on closed courses that it has no legitimate reason to be tested on public roads. For example, it cannot drive directly into the sun. That's a flaw they could work out on the test track (by adding different sensors). There needs to be regulatory intervention to force FSD off the road.

Curious you mention this I was using it this morning driving directly into the Sun... even without our lanes painted after they repaved the roads it kept me in the right part of the road and even engaged the turn signal automatically as it stopped at the traffic light before our right turn... I know they had issues with direct Sun few years ago but it would seem to me driving with it enabled into the sun works just fine...

Might’ve been because it perfectly obscured the straight-ahead view, given the hills where he’s driving. While not perfect, the lenses on Tesla’s forward-facing camera is good at retaining detail if the sun is above eyeline. https://twitter.com/greentheonly/status/1200626377097129984?...
Yeah, I see that is a pretty intense road and situation... my road is much much straighter... I'll try to capture it and share definitely not difficult...

What is a "pretty intense road and situation" for you is some people's daily commute.
