I drive a tesla with FSD in an urban area and based on what I've seen it do, I am 1000x more scared of some rich boy driving his new lambo around hitting a pedestrian than my Tesla while on FSD even with noone in it (if that were possible)

You're right, we probably shouldn't make reckless driving legal either.

    You should probably demand rich dudes get proportional fines, that would solve the problem partially. Probably same irresponsible teen is also alpha testing a Tesla while his watching Netflix on the dashboard so no win if you move him from a Lambo in an Tesla.

      I would hope to whatever God is left on this accursed Earth that Tesla dashboards will refuse to play video while the car is in motion? Or that they have that mirror trick where the video is only viewable from the shotgun seat.

    A Tesla vs. a Lamborghini is a peculiar comparison. What self-respecting Tesla fan would keep quiet how their Model S does 0-60 quicker? Seriously: 2021 Lamborghini Aventador: 2.8 seconds 2020 Tesla Model S Performance: 2.4 seconds (Car & Driver figures)

Yes, but how does it compare to a normal responsible driver? Because that is the use case here, not the idiot with an exotic they can't handle.

  It doesn't compare. It cannot drive by itself yet, it disengages in many normal-to-a-human situations with no ability to resume by itself.

    I'm having trouble understanding your point. You're more scared of rich boys in lambos than of a Tesla that "disengages in many normal-to-a-human situations with no ability to resume"?

      The Tesla isn't allowed to drive around without human supervision yet. The rich kid in the Lambo is

One behavior is discouraged by the manufacturer, the other is encouraged. I'm not sure the analogy works.
