On a somewhat related note, I was stuck behind a Tesla on my morning commute and it was behaving like a teenage driver; constantly breaking without reason and dangerously slowing to a halt as soon as any vehicle got into the lane in front of it. When I passed it later, the driver didn't have his hands on the wheel, and the car was (very poorly) driving itself in AP or FSD.
I've seen Teslas drive somewhat better than that before, so it appears their latest update in response to last week's fatal crash has some serious regressions.
- mlindner 4y agoJust as a note, I drive my completely manual honda in stop and go traffic without my hands on the wheel pretty regularly. You only need to make minor adjustments occasionally if your wheels are properly aligned.
- buffington 4y ago> it appears their latest update in response to last week's fatal crash has some serious regressions. I wouldn't be comfortable making that assertion, given you don't know if the car you describe was using FSD, let alone FSD of a specific version.
- gamblor956 4y agoIt doesn't matter whether they were using FSD or AP. The point is that the Tesla was self-driving like a drunk teenager on the freeway, and this is a noticeable regression from the behavior of other self-driving Teslas I'm forced to share the road with.
- martin8412 4y agoTesla should be banned from enabling FSD until they can prove to the relevant authorities that it's safe. Have the CEO survive riding with FSD without a manual override for a year and maybe we can let them drive on regular streets.
