From my understanding, super cruise only works on pre-approved roads/road sections, whereas FSD works just about anywhere. When I last checked my commute to work, the main highway I take becomes unsupported half way to work, despite it being the same bland typical highway layout. I really don't want to buy a Tesla, but from what I can tell, nobody has anything close to what FSD offers.

> nobody has anything close to what FSD offers. From what I read about it, you're absolutely right. Down to the point of unwanted veering towards road dividers and other vehicles.

  > Down to the point of unwanted veering towards road dividers and other vehicles. Our 2024 Kia does this every 10-20 miles on average. You don't even have to enable lane assist. It also randomly decides to weaken the regenerative braking, or switch out of single pedal mode. If you disable enough of the safety features it stops doing these things, but, for instance, that means you can't have blind spot detection that works when you're going over 5mph and a working steering column at the same time.

    Yeah, people act like some Tesla problems are bad, but I've certainly used systems that are worse. Just in a few miles, I've had a Nissan accelerate towards stopped traffic aggressively enough to trigger its own collision warning. It'll also fly try to drive off the road in relatively shallow curves, triggering its own lane departure warnings. The Tesla system isn't perfect, but it is far from unique in being imperfect.

      That's true. I took a jab specifically at Tesla, because it's generally framed as the "leader of the pack and problem free to the point that you can sleep in it". FSD is a very hard problem, and the systems deployed are at best alpha level. These things should be "hyped responsibly".

        Not paying attention while FSD drives for you ended with a motorcyclist crushed to death under a Tesla, and a manslaughter charge for the driver near me this summer.

SuperCruise and FSD are not comparable. SuperCruise does what it claims to do, keep it up the middle on listed corridors. Most highways and interstates are eligible. I love both systems. FSD is truly almost there for unsupervised, point to point driving. People want to virtue signal and complain about Tesla but it is an amazing piece of hardware being mass produced today. My car is 3 years old.

    Indeed, and I've held an anti-Elon position since well before he bought Twitter and went all MAGA. Personally, I don't want to support someone who continuously lies and breaks securities laws with impunity. The MAGA stuff is just icing on the cake.

  Any thoughts on OpenPilot? I’ve been hearing good things but would be cool to do a comparison.

  I worked in this industry. No, FSD is not almost there. Not even close. What matters is the long tails of events. You might "feel" it is almost there because it gets it right 99.9% of the time but that is still way too many accidents and injuries in the long run. And the work to go from 99.9% to 99.9999% is 1000x more complicated.
