I have it (subscription, just wanted to try it out). I won't use it again. It confidently attempted to drive me into a rather solid object with very little warning. If every other car on the road had this, I would sell all my cars and forbid family members from getting anywhere near the road.

It's nice on the freeway though.

To me it's weird you can voice an opinion like "I won't use it" and then say it's nice on the highway, as if you've given it enough of a trial there to endorse it when you think otherwise it's going to be killing people.

How is it weird that FSD might work well on extremely simple, boring stretches of road but fall apart as complexity increases?

Not that weird, it's just weird to recommend it after you've seen it almost kill you. I doubt he's put in the requisite time/miles/effort/observation/whatever to know that it does great on the highway but not elsewhere.

There's solid objects on highways, too.

Because the Tesla fans will cling to anything to further their arguments.

Pretty sure almost crashing into a solid object seems good enough for giving it a failing score.

I definitely agree, in which case I wouldn't find myself endorsing it for any use. Just because I drove X amount of miles without a problem on the highway doesn't mean it's any less likely to drive into a solid object, why would he recommend it?

I dunno man, according to another poster, I think FSD would probably give itself a safe driver rating of at least 85 for that.
