I immediately disabled the driver assist from my car. Even on well defined roads it had trouble with the nuances like giving a pedestrian extra space, or unable to swerve when another car veers into my lane. When I’d make the necessary moves, the “assist” feature would gently “correct” me to get into the center of the lane. It was gentle — I didn’t have to fight it with all of my might. But it was unpredictable.
ROFL!!!
"A drug company wouldn't call something a universal, full cancer cure vaccine when it didn't actually cure cancer prevent illness," Dan O'Dowd, a software developer who has become a vocal critic of Tesla's Full Self-Driving, told Forbes. </sarc>
Corrected.
Lol. 800 miles down I-70. Pretty much flat and straight.
I won’t even use the cruise on my car.
You couldn’t give me an EV even if the battery never had be charged.
I’ll take the sound of a cam’d up V8 anyday.
Did FSD from Las Vegas to South Lake Tahoe and then on to Sacramento. We were so impressed that we added a second Tesla a month later (Cybertruck). Yes it makes mistakes sometimes (rarely). You have to monitor it at all times. It still makes driving less fatiguing and stressful.

I just finished a Tesla drive from central Missouri to south central Tennessee. A wide range of roads and traffic. I touched the wheel once both ways. I won’t leave home without now after having it for three months.
How many hours did this trip take?
How many recharges were required?
From the article: “EVs are not only responsible for considerably less planet-heating pollution per mile than gas-powered cars, but they also can save drivers thousands of dollars per year on fuel costs. To take the cost savings and environmental benefits of driving an EV to the next level, you can install solar panels on your home. Charging an EV with home solar is cheaper than doing so using the electrical grid or at a public charging station.”
Now, let’s compare the pollution of EV production vs. ICE.
And, let’s include the cost of a home charger and solar panels.
This thread is strong with the Elon slob-jobbery.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO : WHO IS BEING INSURED AS THE DRIVER????
I urge everyone to read Matthew Crawford’s “Why We Drive.”
He has a very different take on what “driverless cars” are all about, and it isn’t you getting more work done or resting. It’s about prepping you to SELL YOU SOMETHING.
