I had a discussion with a colleague today. He claimed Tesla had Full Self Driving, and had for years, and they were the first. That's the message some folks believe.

I look forward to telling him about this.

I've never understood why some people insist that FSD means there can never ever be any crashes of any kind, otherwise it obiviously just doesn't work.

It needs human operators and still crashes 2x more than their competitor. And they have been calling it FSD for years now.

For me FSD means they are legally allowed to operate it on a public road with no supervising driver.

Obviously no crashes ever isn't expected. Even roller coasters have accidents sometimes.

Tesla will get there I'm sure. But I know at least two people that are in Musks influence sphere that believe it to already be the case.

I use FSD 99% of the time now and it works 99% of the time I use it. When it doesn't work, it is always in an annoying, going-way-to-slow way. I've never experienced it crash into anything. I'm sure the experts here know better than me, I'm just a lowly customer, but from MY experience, it basically works all the time.
