Exactly. I wish people actually used it instead of reading biased news about it. Driving is so much stress free with it now.

I disagree completely. Letting it drive is the exact same as teaching my 16 year old kid to drive. It’s nice to let them take the wheel, but you never know when there going to make a mistake and almost crash into traffic.

I frequently drive in the SF Bay Area in a non-Tesla and it's incredible how many Teslas I've seen nearly hit us, randomly swerve or brake hard for literally no reason.

I always encounter a lot of Teslas while walking my dog and it's clear they're no safer than many people who shouldn't be driving regular cars.

It's wild, most Teslas I encounter drive fine, but every once in a while I see one driving completely erratically. Stopping 20 feet too soon at a stop sign, very weird positioning in lane, sudden acceleration or deceleration. I think I can pretty much tell if a Tesla has FSD enabled if I follow it for a minute or so.

I used it. It was novel, but it made a lot of mistakes. I didn't subscribe.

Driving is stress free until you end up under a truck or taking a life.

Saw a Tesla swerve into the bike lane yesterday while driver was on the phone.

Driver probably felt safe and that everything was in order. The cyclists not so much.

Point is it's a matter of perspective. How many around you have to accommodate?

I own a Tesla and a motorcycle. I'll often ride while my wife is driving the car, and FSD is far more respectful of me than most cars.

Human drivers use the bike lane, shoulder or oncoming traffic lane to drive around cars turning left and to avoid hazards all the time. It’s not unsafe if you check to make sure no one is there and my Tesla detects people around me basically as well as a human can.

On the other hand, FSD won’t try to pass me on winding mountain roads with a double yellow line.
