People completely miss the most important thing about Tesla FSD
It’s not just about convenience. It’s not a "cool self-parking trick."
It’s about the fact that car crashes are the #1 killer of healthy people aged 5-29 globally and one company has gathered over 10 billion miles of real-world data to actually solve it
Look at the recent data: Tesla just became the FIRST vehicle to pass NHTSA's new ADAS safety tests. Not the first EV. The first vehicle. Period.
The reality is harsh but simple. Countries that approve FSD get safer roads overnight. Countries that delay will literally watch their citizens die in preventable crashes while bureaucrats sit in meeting rooms debating "safety."
The "safety" argument against FSD is officially dead
As an occasional Uber Driver, I have done over 300 passenger rides by now. I use FSD for 100% of my rides. For the first time ever, I just had passengers who were adamantly opposing my use of FSD. One of them said he doesn’t trust Elon Musk.
He is a software engineer, and he says he knows that software isn’t perfect. He doesn’t wanna be the one to edge case that leads to an accident. We had a nice conversation. I tried to appeal to his mathematical mind, arguing that the combination of the system and myself observing is definitely safer than me driving without it. He didn’t wanna hear any of it. Both of them didn’t.
Interesting. I did not expect that position from an engineer.
Oh and: I felt a lot more nervous, driving entirely myself again. It was over 20 minutes. I do not want to do this anymore. Driving a vehicle is insane.
@greghef98@XFreeze Yes. The limits on voice are kicking in after 15 minutes at SuperGrok level. Hopefully they extend that soon. I’ve been using voice to learn all kinds of new subjects and play TTRPG’s. Can’t do that in 15 min bumps. 😭
