So, that's not my experience with current FSD versions. But whatever, sure. Let's accept your data point as measured: Every... TWO HOURS?! I mean, come on.

So, that's not my experience with current FSD versions. But whatever, sure. Let's accept your data point as measured:
Every... TWO HOURS?! I mean, come on. Put a camera on yourself or another human driver. There's an unexpected braking event at least that often, almost always in a more dangerous situation. The human failure tends to be failing to detect a real obstacle, vs. slowing for a phantom one.
This is just too much. If you don't like it don't use it. But to pretend that stomps-the-brakes-every-few-hours is a stop ship kind of safety bug is quite frankly ridiculous.

There's an unexpected braking event at least that often, almost always in a more dangerous situation Wait...what are counting as an "unexpected braking event"? I can't think of anything I do with brakes that would not be counted as ordinary braking that happens anywhere near as often as every two hours.
- ajross 5mo agoI mean that you stomp on your brakes to avoid rear ending a car you didn't notice stopping. That is objectively more dangerous a situation than "phantom braking" and far, far, FAR more common. I know, I know, you're a perfect driver and would never fail to notice an obstacle. But the rest of us aren't.
- sumeno 5mo agoYou should not be driving if you are having to slam on your brakes to avoid rear ending someone every two hours. You are a danger to yourself and everyone around you
- Dylan16807 5mo agoI, uh, don't think the median driver goes through that. Maybe you tailgate really aggressively?
- ajross 5mo agoIt's like clockwork. Everyone who hates Tesla just so happens to be a preturnaturally fantastic driver. Yet everyone I drive with, and me, and everyone around me isn't. I just can't understand it. To wit, I, uh, don't believe a word you're saying. No one drives in traffic without an occasional oops. And the people who claim not to are, uh, almost certainly the worst of the bunch.
- Dylan16807 5mo ago> It's like clockwork. Everyone who hates Tesla just so happens to be a preturnaturally fantastic driver. I said nothing about Tesla and I said nothing about my driving. If you really want to know, I would not claim I'm a better than average driver. I don't think "very rarely has to unexpectedly brake hard" is something you need to be a particularly good driver to accomplish.
- tzs 5mo agoI'm pretty sure I am in fact only very rarely stomping my brakes, because since I drive with one pedal driving mode on I use my brakes rarely enough that I notice when I'm using them. Maybe I simply don't drive often in circumstances where there are cars suddenly stopping ahead of me? I keep a pretty decent gap between me and the car ahead, unless I'm in stop and go traffic in which case I usually am using adaptive cruise control. I've been planning to get an OBD2 scanner and an app that can report details on EV battery health, because a battery health report is the only thing that I'd get if used the dealer that is 15 miles away (and an hour bus ride away if I don't want to wait there) for scheduled maintenance that I don't get if I go to the independent service center a 10 minute walk away. Perhaps I'll try to find one that can also log my brake activity to see if I'm somehow just not noticing a lot of brake stomping.
- sumeno 5mo agoIf you are having unexpected braking events every 2 hours you should be paying better attention to your driving. I go months without them
