Valid point.
OTOH your Tesla knows precisely where the car is frame by frame, 25 frames per second. It also knows where the center line is and the trajectory of the oncoming car, 25 frames per second. Perhaps FSD had the situation under control.

I've had a couple of similar situations nmy M3. Both times, my car scared me with how close it came to the center line, but it never crossed. I have the video, which I posted on X at the time. I felt like you do at the time. But looking back. I don't think intevention was necessary.

I can't argue with success. But in my case, I've become convinced that for me to intervene rarely makes things safer.

@JCChristopher The complaints are helpful.
Tesla is prioritizing autonomy now because of Robotaxi. But private owners demand controls. Tesla needs to hear that. They can do better, and I think they will.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla What's the point of Y Performance if you're going to be using FSD?

[TheNextAlan @TheNextAlan]

@SawyerMerritt Actually that's only half of them. 🤣

[TheNextAlan @TheNextAlan]

It may not literally be a geofence but a reliable map that flags "no-go" roads / zones / etc that unsupervised FSD must avoid. The map will require ongoing maintenance with rapid updates. Probably requiring online routing for live updates. That means FSD may require Starlink internet service to eliminate dead zones.

@messedupfoods If you can't pay your employees, close your business.

@robmaurer It's all about time frames. If I need my money in 5 years, SpaceX doesn't make sense. If I can wait 20 years, then it could be phenomenal. I'd like to see Monte Carlo analysis showing probability of returns at various intervals between those two timeframes.

[TheNextAlan @TheNextAlan]

@aaronburnett Now show the chart for a 5 year time frame instead of a 20 year time frame.

[TheNextAlan @TheNextAlan]

@LongzTsla @JOBhakdi I agree to a point. FSD 14.3.3 is not sufficient for unsupervised self driving on the entire USA public road network. But maybe it is sufficient for properly mapped geofenced areas. That seems to be what Tesla is betting on.

@JOBhakdi Hey Jo,
I'd love to hear your comments on this SpaceX valuation analysis:

I retired at 59. I got there by paying off my house and reducing my budget several years before resigning from my job. When it came time to retire, I already knew I could live on the retirement income, because I was already doing it. Having no house payment and no car payment made it work.

[TheNextAlan @TheNextAlan]

@Kristinartz None of them.
They all lacked the ability to autonomously and safely drive me to my destination with no intervention by me.
I didn't know how important that would be until I got a car that does that.
That has become my top requirement for a new car from now on.

@WallStreetApes @grok How does that price increase compare to other fast food restaurant prices in similar locations?
