Yup, after getting a Tesla with a free FSD trial period, it was obviously a death trap if used in any kind of slightly complex situation (like the highway on-ramp that was under construction for a year).

At least once every few days, it would do something extremely dangerous, like try to drive straight into a concrete median at 40mph.

The way I describe it is: yeah, it’s self-driving and doesn’t quite require the full attention of normal driving, but it still requires the same amount of attention as supervising a teenager in the first week of their learning permit.

If Tesla were serious about FSD safety claims, they would release data on driver interventions per mile.

Also, the language when turning on FSD in vehicle is just insulting—the whole thing about how if it were an iPhone app but shucks the lawyers are just so silly and conservative we have to call it beta.

Yikes! I’d be a nervous wreck after just a couple of days.

		You learn when it’s good and bad. It definitely has a “personality”. It is awesome in certain situations, like bumper to bumper traffic. I kept it for a couple months after the trial, but canceled because the situations it’s good at aren’t the situations I usually face when driving.
