I own a Model Y with hardware version 4. FSD prevented my from getting in an accident with a drunk driver. It reacted much faster to the situation than I could have. Ever since, I’m sold that in a lot of circumstances, machines can drive better than humans.

- fred_is_fred 8mo agoTesla fans have not realized that every car made since 2021ish can do this.
- cucumber3732842 8mo agoAbout once a month my car makes me look like a piece of shit because the AEB gets confused by lane changes when you maintain speed coming up to slow traffic in order to wait for a good spot to move over. As you go to move over it'll flip out and brake as you slide left and no amount of gas pedal will override it so you wind up moving over a lane only to brake check that lane. Thankfully it doesn't do a full stop, just brakes for long enough to realize there's nothing there. 0/10. Someone is gonna cause a multi-car pile up with this. I'm sure it would work great to prevent me from texting my way into the back of stopped traffic though.

- mullingitover 8mo agoMy 2016 Honda Civic has automatic braking (and it has lanekeep assist, so it's technologically superior to a 2026 Tesla).
- 1970-01-01 8mo agoIt does more than AEB. It also knows to swerve out of the way during E: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1MWml-81e0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1MWml-81e0

- tevon 8mo agoI have a late model Audi, and a Tesla Model 3. Audi has all the bells and whistles. Doesn't come close to the safety I feel in the Tesla. Not even close. I know anecdotal
- servo_sausage 8mo agoDesign of these safety features for euro cars generally aims to be invisible unless active. You don't "feel" the car in control.
- PunchyHamster 8mo agothen the PR worked
- dzhiurgis 8mo agoAEB has been around since ages. Even my 2010 Mazda had it. It's nowhere near Tesla's capabilities tho. Not sure what are you trying to achieve with such dunks?

- kelseyfrog 8mo agoThis is ridiculous wrong and demonstrates a profound lack of insight into both the history of economics[1] and the current political calculus. Please don't use rules as a cudgel or at least have more tact doing so. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_economy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_economy
- JumpCrisscross 8mo ago> Politics is not allowed on HN Nothing in the guidelines says this. What it does require is "thoughtful and substantive" comments, particularly "as a topic gets more divisive."
- renewiltord 8mo agoWell, as everyone points out: Musk uses Tesla’s stock to fund things and Tesla’s stock is decoupled from fundamentals like revenue so that means that buying his car is decoupled from funding things. Practically a syllogism.
- parineum 8mo ago> mass human displacement campaign (a.k.a. Genocide) genocide /jĕn′ə-sīd″/ noun The systematic and widespread extermination or attempted extermination of a national, racial, religious, or ethnic group. The systematic killing of a racial or cultural group.
- dangus 8mo agoGreat, I’m glad your dictionary is happy about deporting 5 year olds. “Uhm aktually it’s not a genocide it’s just a fascist police state” Multiple humanitarian organizations define mass displacement as genocide and/or ethnic cleansing. The holocaust literally started with mass deportations/detentions. Then the nazis figured out that it was easier to kill detainees.
