    My uber was a Tesla once. The guy was convinced he could text and drive just fine on the highway. Looked at me like I was a total Karen. The average person is an idiot. Thats the crux of the issue.

      Ok i am all in on the Elon hate, but I know you’re lying because I have a friend with full self driving and if you so much as look at the person in the passenger seat the car flips a shit and will even go as far as to disable full self driving for the rest of your trip.

        Looks like cameras were introduced in 2021. When was my incident?

      Again, the in cabin camera monitors you and makes sure you are paying attention to the road. Otherwise, how can Tesla be held responsible for idiots? Remember that the idea is to DEVELOP self driving software so that the roads can be SAFER (not 100% safe but safer) from idiot humans.

        That’s the first time you mentioned a camera; there is no “again”.

        But what does that change if its still being advertised as self-driving?

        People are idiots. They rationalize the safety features e.g. " oh, its not yet approved by regulators so they must use the driver-cam but Musk has said its self-driving so its okay".

        Remember that the idea is to DEVELOP self driving software so that the roads can be SAFER (not 100% safe but safer) from idiot humans.

        Umm what? The idea is to turn a profit for shareholders. Musk is not Tony Stark. In fact Tesla is now behind other self-driving platforms because Musk does not prioritize safety.

            Found Elon’s number one fan. Thanks for a good laugh.

            Quoted for posterity:

            Stop believing what you read without real world experience. Seriously, you’re what’s wrong with social media. You’re so gullible you believe everything you read.

            Is FSD perfect or even good yet? No. But I promise you it’s better than any other option out there. I’ve personally used ford, Volvo ridden in waymo and own FSD. It’s not close.

            Don’t pretend to know what Teslas mission is. Because you obviously don’t.

            Your comments are so laughably ignorant it’s hard to even understand what your point it other than hatred for Musk.
