And yet FSD and even lane assist are going to be safer than the driver near you who is scrolling and typing away on their smartphone Don’t mistake my post as a defense of FSD or Tesla. They’ve been lying about their capabilities for what feels like a decade. I don’t want to see FSD and human drivers share a road. I want all cars to be meshed and communicating their intents with vehicles around them to avoid collisions. We will never see that in our lifetime

Judging by how often people press the emergency stop button on the escalators where I live, I fear that relying on the sincerity of strangers (and their cars) is maybe not a viable solution.

Allocating dedicated FSD roads is a terrible future. It will basically kill cities. I find myself agreeing with most of the arguments here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=040ejWnFkj0 https://youtube.com/watch?v=040ejWnFkj0

  We already have dedicated FSD roads, and they work quite well; we just usually call them "subways" or "light rail". I don't see much point in building additional FSD roads for the inefficient, non-platooned, low-capacity, rubber-wheeled trolleycars Tesla makes, though.

  I wish people would just write down their arguments instead of making a 53 minute video of it. I don't have time to watch all that :(

It's terrible that cell phone distraction is not prosecuted as harshly as DUI. Consequently, it's totally normalized. Get drunk and plow your car into a bunch of people, killing them? Many states treat this as a serious felony, up to and including charges like "DUI Murder." Plow into the same bunch of people while scrolling Instagram? It's "Oopsie-doopsie! Accidents happen!" The worst you'll get is something like "negligent vehicular manslaughter" which is less than a year in jail.
