Tesla FSD drives down railroad tracks, gets hit by train

I thought vitriol is MY department. I hope you're not replacing me @COdogman

Sometimes vitriol is appropriate! I have certainly had my moments, but I'm not coming for your crown

Are you sure we know the same @COdogman ?

Is this because of the Hummer intervention? That was for your own good.

I agree. It's appropriate on days that end in Y.

To be fair that is a HW3 vehicle that is constrained to an earlier version of FSD than HW4 vehicles. So you may wish to understand there are rather large differences in performance between v12 HW3 and v13 HW4 versions and even between v12 and v13 iterations.

You can’t even compare it to what Rivian has because they’re not even playing the same game at this stage. Driving my gen 1 Rivian feels like driving an ICE TBH. It’s quaint and interesting with no more promises of future updates forthcoming.

There are plenty of people using FSD these days with little to no drama even if it still demands regular attention. I can attest it is far safer than any other system I’ve ever used.

The very notion that something has FSD in the name but then you have to provide excuses for why it is inferior to some *new* version is absurd.

"FSD" is and has been a complete scam filled with shifting dates and empty promises. I would never trust my loved ones to EM and his whims.

There's no question that he's a lying weasel. Or possibly, so far up his own asshole that he believes his fabrications and he's not consciously lying. Or both.

That doesn't change the functionality or how the actual system works. AP is still a big improvement in driver comfort and safety, without even getting to the FSD stage. You can note that without making excuses for Musk's behavior.

He is on record pushing engineers to release versions that they didn't think were safe and he has lied about capabilities when doing demos in the past. I simply don't trust the tech.

AP is different ballgame. Systems like AP that provide more limited driver assist (not driver replace) can be very useful and improve safety.
