I thought maybe this Oakland video was an outlier in how bad it was, but I've watched several videos from the related videos, and the Tesla subreddit, and the system really seems like it's in bad shape. I'm really surprised that regulators are allowing this to be tested on public roads, and that Tesla hasn't pulled it. It is bad enough that when I see Teslas on the road now, I feel unsafe, because the system is so unreliable right now.
I would encourage anyone to watch the videos and make up their own mind, bc I do feel that people over-correct in their Tesla skepticism sometimes. But in this case, it seems warranted.

At the very least you should be required to put a visual sign that your vehicle is in "FSD" mode. Sort of like how we require "oversize load" signs so that others can take extra precautions around those vehicles.
- ChrisMarshallNY 6y agoIn Japan, trucks are required to have three horizontal green lights above the cab, facing forward[0]. These indicate speed. I would guess FSD should have something similar.

- tomjakubowski 6y agoThis sounds like great crossover TV.
- xwolfi 6y agoWell they sell cars at a loss and have always been, they're not exactly a real business. And their technoking Electric Jesus isn't helping
- yawaworht1978 6y agoI would like to add that it is a safe bet that "Jesus's" bank account(or assets) is not at a loss.

The vast majority of Teslas aren't using this FSD beta but the older and more limited Autopilot software. You'll only have to start worrying about this in the next few months, or last year, or the year before, etc (depending on which Musk tweet you go by).
- qwertox 6y ago> I'm really surprised that regulators are allowing this to be tested on public roads One should add that in this case it's tested by consumers, not certified professionals.
- lrem 6y agoJust ride as a passenger through a road with cars parked on the side. When I did that about 1.5 year ago, it missed about a third of the cars and pictured a couple as moving on the driving lane.
- ranguna 6y agoIt's almost like it's in beta, right ?
- lxgr 6y agoSo where can I opt out (as a pedestrian or cyclist)?
- bmitc 6y agoThat’s an excellent point. Our government has failed to handle this situation, and these systems should not be allowed on the road. I also avoid Tesla cars like the plague and do not trust what’s going on inside.
- rhodozelia 6y agoEverything gets to be crap by adding the label beta. Texas electricity system, beta!!
- mbar84 6y ago> It is bad enough that when I see Teslas on the road now, I feel unsafe, because the system is so unreliable right now. Conspiracy theory: Tesla wants to show how bad the system is early on to raise public awareness and make people drive more cautiously around teslas.
