The media is all in to destroy Tesla.

I prefer to drive myself, at least if I’m going to crash it’s probably going to be MY fault.

Sadness. I desperately want FSD for 1000-mile trips (dominated by ~100 miles of endpoint maneuvering and a couple freeway changes, the rest >900 miles of flat straight stay in the lane and just don’t hit anything).

I found Ford’s BlueCruise to be scary and not nearly as skilled as I am when I’m paying attention.

The guy who put the story up is pro-EV. Most media supports EVs from what I’ve seen, your “charge” may vary.

Well, that’s coast to coast on Long Island, but the locals would say shore to shore.

But not quite yet.


My 2018 CRV has adaptive cruise control and lane keeping. On long trips on the interstate, the car practically drives itself. As a geezer, I still keep my hands on the wheel and my foot ready to hit the brakes. But the car will actually stop itself and take turns for me.

It looks to me like the last 10% FSD is going to be the hardest by far.

He never shows the video! Both my vehicles are Teslas. The FSD is really amazing. But it occasionally makes mistakes. That is why you still must be ready to take over. There was a bike rider on a blind curve on Monitor Pass in the Sierras that is damn lucky I have FSD.

Next to GPS, Adaptive Cruise Control is one of the best electronic features ever!

With roads so congested, regular cruise control was unusable.

I just bought a new Tesla model 3 and am amazed and pleased with the fsd. I have experienced a few situations where it made me nervous and I took over. I suspect it would have done fine.

It’s very impressive. Yes, you can tell it to take you to the grocery store and it will do it without having to touch the steering wheel or pedals.

It watches you and makes you pay attention.

It’s fun to drive, too. 0-60 in 3 seconds, handles well. I traded in an Audi A6.

I will not buy buy another vehicle without fsd.

Ymmv...

So if youโ€™re injured in a crash involving a self driving car, who do you sue for damages?

You sue yourself.
You were at fault.
Self-driving cars can do no wrong.
