I have been driving Tesla FSD 10.69 for the last few weeks and it is far from perfect. It's definitely beta level software, and unfortunately, there's no real distinction between beta web frontend and beta life-critical ASAD.
I routinely have to take control. It definitely accelerates to hard on some sleepy side streets. It's extremely conservative about speed and lane changes. It's terrible at anticipating slowing where humans obviously would, like brake lights stacking back toward you on a curving highway: the driver can see the braking problem coming from a thousand yards ahead, maybe miles. Summon is slightly better than a parlor trick. FSD is approximately useless in parking lots.
But....
It's not completely unusable. There are definitely segments of a drive I can mentally relax (back to my normal driving level of attentiveness).
Having gotten two kids through their driving tests recently, I'm struck how much FSD 10.69 resembles a 16 year old with their early driver's permit. They're terrible. But they are learning really fast.
Similarly, Tesla is now getting millions, if not billions, of disengagements coming back for retraining. The next release is going to be better.

- rootusrootus 4y agoIt sounds accurate to me. If you are a defensive driver, you will most likely find that even basic autopilot increases your stress substantially. It happily drives you full speed into situations your brain easily recognizes as risky. Personally I'd probably have palpitations if I tried FSD.
