It is quite impressive. We have been driving a Y for about 4 months with FSD. I still like to drive the car, but my wife is completely hooked on FSD and has had some interesting situations where lane changers were heading toward her; the car sensed it and moved over at a speed she couldn’t have matched, even if she’d known about the threat. The only situations it couldn’t process were dynamic road construction zones where a construction barrel blew over and rolled across traffic lanes. No biggie.

A few months back, I was walking on a country road, left side, on the shoulder. No sidewalks. It was a connector between country trails and town sidewalks. The shoulder was narrow. A car was coming toward me in its lane. I thought he was too close to me, so I put my right arm out to indicate he should give me more clearance.

The car instantly swung away from me a few feet toward its left (toward the center of the road). It reacted far faster than any human could have. It was amazing to see from a pedestrian viewpoint.

It might be better than women, but that bar is low ;/
