The difference in FSD behavior is due to the EU’s laws on autonomous vehicles. The EU mandates maximum lateral acceleration, lane change times, and many other details that make for a worse (and less safe) driving experience.

Now why would the EU mandate details that make for a less safe driving? You are implying they are either malicious or stunningly incompetent.

> stunningly incompetent

Not stunningly, just moderately. But generally yes, that's a good description for EU bureaucrats.

I disagree.

Wordy, worthy, self interested, rule fetish... All of that. But not incompetent like this.

Teslas being optimised for L.A. makes more sense in this case.

Unusually it looks to me like conspiracy rather than cock up.

Could you explain why the limits make the experience less safe.

Less lateral acceleration should mean more safety, or I m wrong?
