In minor traffic a week or so ago, I ended up next to a Tesla for a few minutes where the driver had zero hands on the wheel, and her eyes were buried in her phone, with her head angled downward. Whatever system was running seemed to be totally fine with that situation; if that's the most advanced driver attention monitoring system available, we're in a lot of trouble. Tesla caring so much about safety is so obviously a bad joke.

I don’t believe you. Teslas have a cabin camera that monitors your gaze and quickly emits warnings if you look at your phone while autopilot is on. If you ignore the warnings, the car puts it emergency flashers on, pulls over, and disables autonomous driving until your next trip. If you do the five times with the FSD beta, you are banned from using FSD.

> are banned from using FSD
Do you get a refund?

It’s a one week ban I believe.

It is not. The FSD Beta enables an aggressive attention monitor which is not active with the basic AutoPilot system.
The nag when FSD is enabled is actually quite annoying. Even glancing over at the screen for more than a second will trigger it. If it triggers more than a couple times you get locked out for the drive. If it triggers more than 5 times in total across any number of drives, you get locked out entirely for a full week.
