My Dad is running into this problem now. He mentioned buying a Tesla to get the self-driving feature. I really hope he doesn't kill anyone.

- tim333 8mo agoI've been saying to my mum, 89, to delay replacing her Jazz till they have a suitable self driving car but it's taking longer than I thought. She still drives ok thankfully.
- foxyv 8mo agoI have the 2013 Fit (Jazz) and it refuses to die. Still runs like the day I bought it despite 200k miles. It looks like hot garbage because the paint is burning off in the sun, but it's still perfect somehow. My main goal is to teach my parents how to use Uber/Lyft.
- Recurecur 8mo agoTesla FSD is currently very good, and I think _on average_ is better than the typical driver (no distractions, no substances, no fatigue, 360 deg vision, faster reaction time). Granted, that isn’t helpful if you hit an edge case. Still, I think overall it’s a good thing.
- true_religion 8mo agoAren’t common things like children walking into the road still problems that Tesla can’t handle?
- foxyv 8mo agoFSD seems pretty okay when it's supervised. But Tesla is cagey about the safety issues. They keep trying to SLAPP people who report on problems. It also doesn't help that Elon Musk slashed the NHTSA after they began investigating the issue. I guess I'm in a wait and see position about FSD.
