What a crap article - I couldn't disagree more with his fearful conclusion. FSD on my Model Y is fun. There's no reason to fear because it's extremely intuitive to take over if it makes a poor decision - any resistance on the steering wheel immediately disengages Full Self Driving. I've used FSD for thousands of both highway and city miles, and like any new experience, you shouldn't judge it based off of your first few tries. After a short time, you learn which scenarios it handles with ease (highway driving, clearly marked roads with other traffic it can follow), and which scenarios it struggles with (dips in roads, emergency vehicles on shoulder, large open intersections without clear markings, construction zones). FSD is basically magic. I'm a software guy, and I'm shocked how well FSD handles an insane variety of situations. In my local town, I feel I'm quite a bit better driver than my FSD. However, when I visit an unfamiliar city, FSD often handles new situations better than I would have. We're living in the future. Also, there's several comments here about how timid FSD can be merging or at a four-way-stop or similar; very true! Yet you just tap the gas pedal to let it know it's safe to proceed, and FSD takes it from there. Or just manually accelerate, and FSD will happily handle the steering while I handle the speed.
