Can't speak for LA but it is awesome in Alabama. I never "drive" anymore. Takes me from my house to my office and back without ever touching the steering or pedals. Stops, turns, merges, passes, it's pretty damn cool.

Most of my FSD has been in Huntsville but I have also used it for road trips to Tuscaloosa (150 miles, all interstate) and Andalusia (280 miles, 80% interstate).

Then what's the point? If I have to stare at the road, I just assume drive.

There are thousands of crashes caused by Tesla autopilot and millions of pieces or two spaceships are scattered in low earth orbit. I'm not sure his safety record is as impeccable as he pays for you to believe.

The point is we don’t have unassisted full self driving, yet. Need to have FSD first.

It’s coming soon. Then you can stare at your phone all you want.

If it’s so great, why is it geofenced to only certain parts of three cities while Teslas are driving themselves all over the country?

What’s the point of cruise control? Or automatic transmissions?

FSD automates tasks just like those two things do, and in its current state, it reduces almost all of the physical and mental load of driving. The only thing you have to do is be prepared to take over in situations where it does something you’re uncomfortable with.

Because it’s actually autonomous driving focused on safety. Have you tried it yet? It’s mind blowing technology

I’ll have to wait until it’s available in places where the other 95% of the population lives.

Because while its amazing, its still not 100% and I've had it relinquish control back to me once or twice. I also think it has more to do with the law than with Tesla.

It pisses me of that the wife’s new whip hits the brakes on its own


Mine does this and it has come in handy in the couple of occasions where I looked away and someone pulled out in front of me.
I do hate it when I’m backing into a parking spot and it detects the curb and slams the brakes.
Do have to turn it off to back up to a trailer, otherwise I can only get a couple inches from the hitch

Have you actually seen a waymo? They have spinning radars on roof and are ugliest vehicles on the road. Theey are all over phoenix, but have never seen one on the interstate.

They are using the drivers to train it. It's not at the point where it's ready for a driver to fully not pay attention.

Thats next.
