Waymo's collision avoidance testing

This claim is not true.

As someone who drives a Tesla with the FSD beta, the vehicle has been getting progressively better since 2018.

It’s drives smoother and brakes more predictably dive they stopped using the front radar.

This claim is not true.

As someone who owned a 2019 Tesla and who owns a 2023 Tesla, the older car had better autopilot. It was starting to degrade in 2020. The new one is worse. Phantom braking was quite rare in 2019. The very first night I drove home the new car, it phantom braked on a lonely, empty stretch of I-5.

I want the radar back.

FSD stack is disabled on highways. You are using the years old code. Beta v11 when it comes out will enable OP's FSD referenced improvements for highways.

I used to mock my relatives for not wanting to put their kids in a Tesla. But yeah, I'm not subjecting my family to beta software for a critical safety feature, nor should anyone else.

I definitely have some relatives that I would trust less than Tesla to drive with my kids.
