The problem with FSD is that it's one of those problems where it takes 5% of the effort to get 95% of the way there and the other 95% of the effort to get the remaining 5%. Problems like that are exactly the kind that lead to perpetual just around the corner predictions like this. We're almost there! We're almost there! FSD is almost a solved problem under ordinary predictable driving conditions, but when you're driving there's a long tail of unusual circumstances that you run into that blow the limits of these models. Humans are able to improvise because we have a huge mental model of the world we inhabit and our location within it, which FSD systems do not. They're just reacting to stimuli. Telsa went and made it even harder on themselves by abandoning LIDAR. One way to compensate for inferior intelligence is with superhuman senses, but they insisted that merely human-like senses like vision were "enough."
