Anyone who claims that FSD doesn't work is flat out lying. I've used FSD 13 for almost all of my driving since it came out last Dec. I've used in in cities like Boston and I've used it on dirt roads in Vermont and Maine. I've used it on highways and on mountain roads. It's worked in the rain, snow and fog. I drive up Cadillac Mountain Maine in the fog. It's stopped for deer, twice, it's stopped for a e-scooter rider who shot out into the street without looking, I would have hit him had I been driving but FSD has faster reactions than a human and more and better sensors so it stopped. It does make mistakes but none have been dangerous. There are some anomalies, for example it swerved around a squished animal but not a pothole. At this point I feel much safer with FSD driving than by hand driving. Humans only have two eyes, FSD has cameras on the fenders, the B pillars and the rear as well as the cameras on the windshield and it's looking at all of them all the time, that's impossible for a human. The cameras also see better at night than human eyes.

That's the new "science" (or religion / cult?) surrounding lying these days isn't it? You just have to repeat a lie enough times and declare all the actual facts as "fake news" or "hoax" and the lie becomes truth, and the truth a lie.


... and its anecdotes all the way down.

Even GP stated a "worked for me" over and over to support the claim its generally working.

"Cult" is a decent description.

i've had "fsd" for years and basically never use it now. i just don't trust it.

anytime there is a new version update, i do try to have it drive from the house to the market (about 3 miles: two rights at stop signs, two rights and 1 left at stop lights) and there has never been a single time where i didn't have to take over at least once.

and maybe the problem is that i have had "fsd" while it was going through development. the trust is low from the many times it has tried to kill me. so, whenever it is on, there is nothing but stress. and so i'm more apt than not to take over when i see anything even minutely out of the ordinary.
