The FSD team must be pissed at Elon putting so much public pressure on them to roll out the beta more widely. They have to know releasing it widely in this state is going to be a nightmare.
- ajross 5y agoDoes this really qualify as a nightmare? It's not even an accident. I mean, bad PR is bad PR; there's literally a whole cottage industry (c.f. the linked twitter account) dedicated to spinning stories against Tesla. But it's reasonably clear that this system, even in this state, isn't causing accidents. I think an open beta like this is absolutely appropriate. Lord knows I'm enjoying watching it (but not using it yet, didn't make the Safety Score cut).
- rich_sasha 5y agoIt was pretty close! For me it also shows how much in the ball you need to be while supposedly relaxing on FSD. This really was a split-second decision, out of nowhere, with no warning. And, presumably, since in FSB you’re supposed to be alert all the time, insurance will point the finger at you for driving into a lamppost. Not Elon’s fault at all.
- Isinlor 5y agoTesla is saying that "It may do the wrong thing at the worst time, so you must (...) pay extra attention to the road. (...) Use FSD only if you will pay constant attention to the road, and be prepared to act immediately, (...)" Anyone supervising it for longer than 15 min will realize that Tesla means it and that it is not some lawyer speak. The FSD Beta will become dangerous when it will start driving flawlessly for 50h, enough to make people complacent, and crash into a pedestrian on 51h.
