A Model Y driver started experiencing a medical emergency with chest pain mid-drive & called his son.
His son then remotely rerouted the car – which had FSD Supervised enabled – to the nearest hospital & let them know the vehicle was en route. ER staff were standing by on arrival.
Doctors later confirmed the quick reroute likely saved his life.
Upcoming releases of FSD will remember your parking preferences, so that the car goes to the right location at your home, office, school drop off, etc.
Destination parking is by far the biggest reason people now intervene with FSD. Critical safety interventions are extremely rare.
A Tesla is twice as likely to reach 250,000 miles as a Subaru “No engine, no oil changes, no timing chains, no fuel injectors, and far fewer moving parts overall” https://t.co/k8iJwbzrrp
Tesla self-driving saves a lot of lives – the statistics are unequivocal.
That doesn’t mean it’s perfect, of course.
Even when we improve safety 10X, saving 90% of the million lives lost in auto accidents every year, Tesla will still get sued for the 10% who did die. The 90% who are still alive mostly won’t even know that Tesla saved them.
Nonetheless, it is the right thing to do.

@MobofJoggers I'm picturing him repeating his fsd curse words at the senior citizens center endlessly while dropping off his walker before group bingo. Meanwhile his grandkids are using cybercabs to get to and from everywhere safely.
