Tesla has four modes of "self driving"--Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot, FSD, FSD Beta.

AP/EAP will run red lights and can't merge lanes on a freeway. FSD will stop for lights/stop signs, but that's about it. FSD Beta is what Tesla is typically known for and what many YouTube videos are showing. FSD Beta will stop at red lights and merge into freeways. Most people use FSD interchangeably, but they are not the same thing.

I don't own one, but I watch a video on youtube every time one of these threads comes around and it seems to be pretty good these days.

Your examples are bad. People do both of those things all the time.

>I watch a video on youtube every time...

Access to most of the latest versions of FSD were doled out on the basis of privilege. What do you think happened to people who post negative "reviews"?

It has been open to the public for 6 months.

This is delusional. "It's fine because I watched some videos and some irresponsible people often drive recklessly anyway."

What's more delusional? An extremely high-dimensional analysis of a ground truth source that I can trust to be unbiased, if rather noisy? Or an ideologically driven shitfight between two camps hell-bent on lying with statistics? I'll leave NHTSA to sort out the latter, and that fight is definitely the one we want to drive legislation, but in the mean time the former is all I have.

What I don't do is assume an outcome and then go find supporting evidence to validate it. It's really easy to lie to yourself that way, and I've been trying to do it less.

NHSTA is infected by the woke virus. Elon knows what you need. If your car crashes into a wall or whatever, it’s probably your fault anyway.

> I'll leave NHTSA to sort out the latter

Reading comprehension at 0%.

No, people do not do either of these all of the time… and neither does the Tesla. They exist in a continuum between murder-suicide and a lovely cruise along the coast. The idea here is that we have insufficient data to see just how flagrant of assholes Tesla FSD users are.
