| I've driven from Dallas to Houston barely having to touch the wheel or pedals the whole way. I don't own a Tesla. Other brands have had self driving features for years now. Some even operate at a higher level of automation. |

| Which car? Seems like Tesla has the best version although I suppose it depends on the circumstances of the trip. |

| ▲ | bastawhiz 43 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | My R1T's autonomous driving is decidedly better than Tesla autopilot. I say that from thousands of miles driven with each. | |

| ▲ | vel0city 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Mustang Mach E. But once again, lots of other cars have similar self driving tech, many better than the Mach E or Teslas. The Bolt I was considering at the time could have also done most of that trip hands-free. And that was actual hands-free, while Teslas at the time required you to take putting torque on the wheel to lie to the system. Even then my 2017 Hyundai did practically everything but steer. Get it on the highway, turn on ACC, and it'll handle the traffic just keep it in the lane. It even did all the stop and go traffic. | | |

| You have no idea what you're talking about. The highway-only driver assistance on cars like Fords does not compare at all to what you get on a Tesla with the latest hardware. |

| Barely touching the wheel is a qualitatively different experience than never touching the wheel. HW4 Tesla owners have gone over 10,000 miles without intervening, including a cross-country trip.[1] The car even finds charging/parking spots and parks on its own. The only equivalent I’ve experienced is Waymo, and you can’t buy a Waymo. 1. https://www.tesla.com/customer-stories/cross-country-trip-fu... |

| ▲ | vel0city 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I don't trust anything Tesla posts on their website about self driving. They've been known to post entirely fictional stories about their self driving. Crazy you still choose to believe them after they've been known to so brazenly lie there. | | |
| ▲ | ggreer 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | David Moss is a traveling LiDAR salesman. He doesn’t work for Tesla, and Tesla didn’t know about him until one of his tweets about his FSD experience went viral. Unless you think he faked images of his FSD stats for months and Tesla went along with it, I’m not sure what to tell you.[1] 1. https://x.com/DavidMoss/status/2010608939751047484 | | |
| ▲ | vel0city 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't know who David Moss is, I have no reason to trust him. His tweets I can see are practically nothing but Tesla and Grok shill posts. | | |
| ▲ | ggreer 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Let’s say, hypothetically, that someone has gone thousands of miles on FSD without intervening. What information would need to exist to convince you of this? | | |
| ▲ | vel0city an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | More than a random Twitter feed and a news post from a company which is known to spread lies, that's for sure. | | |
| ▲ | ggreer an hour ago | parent [-] | | How about if a guy who wrote an article titled Five Things My Roomba Does Better Than My Tesla[1] later drove across the country without intervening?[2] Unless all three people in the car are lying, it seems like an independent example of going thousands of miles without intervening. 1. https://www.thedrive.com/opinion/40604/five-things-my-roomba... 2. https://www.thedrive.com/news/a-tesla-actually-drove-itself-... | | |
| ▲ | tmule 13 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | That’s a terribly low bar for evidence - it’s deciding to pick whatever self-reported data confirms your priors.
Far more than 3 individuals believed that Ivermectin cured them of COVID - I, however, chose to not believe them and get vaccinated instead.
FWIW, my experience with FSD on HW4 is that I don’t need to intervene roughly for a 100ish miles on a clear day on a freeway without construction or accidents. That’s good enough for me to subscribe during roadtrips, but Musk and his legion of supporters is overselling capabilities - as usual. | |
| ▲ | vel0city 33 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | > Both are deeply knowledgeable about Tesla’s Full-Self Driving suite and Roy stressed that he couldn’t have completed the trip without them. Totally fully self driving even though you need not one, not two, but three autonomous driving experts with you. And be sure to have a second car with you when your first autonomous vehicle strands you. Sure sounds like a reliable system ready for the masses to use on public roadways! | | |
| ▲ | ggreer 11 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I think you misread the article. The stranding was because they left a place without one of the passengers and had to go back to get him. It had nothing to do with autonomous driving. I’m not sure what help the autonomous driving experts added beyond recommending cleaning the cameras at each stop. None of them work for Tesla, and it’s not like they could tweak the software along the way. I’m not making any claims about FSD’s safety or how ready it is for mass usage on public roads. I am trying to figure out what information would convince you that someone has used FSD for thousands of miles without intervening. Does this count or not? If not, why? |

| ▲ | electriclove 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Ok, try it yourself with a new HW4 and you will see. | | |
| ▲ | vel0city 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I've ridden in Teslas many times operating in "FSD" (read: not fully, and not self, driving), nearly every time its made some kind of moving violation including nearly hitting a pedestrian. No thanks. I heard the same thing in 2019, HW3 solved all the issues, it finally just works as advertised. That was after HW2 was guaranteed to ship with all the hardware needed for FSD a decade ago, for real this time. I'll probably wait for HW5, then you'll tell me its really there. This time it won't even run people over, and it actually stops at stop signs more than just 98% of the time. Personally I try and avoid systems that drive people in front of trains. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMqTmOTtft4 |
