Comment on Elektrek: "Tesla FSD Beta tried to kill me last night"

FFS. He was testing a beta update at 73 miles per hour. Is he really expecting sympathy?
I thought all FSD updates were beta updates? Did I miss the announcement of FSD going GA and being stable?
If that’s the case, then yeah I probably wouldn’t test run a new update on the highway first. But I also have no idea if this issue happens at lower speeds as well.
Isn’t that the issue? He’s using something that’s still in beta on the highway.
Yes, 100%. Anyone is a fool to use Tesla “FSD Beta” pretty much anywhere. But Tesla markets it as totally safe to use anywhere and everywhere (but especially highways) so there’s a point where you have to stop calling everyone that owns a Tesla a fool and acknowledge that the common denominator is Tesla and just not the owner’s foolishness.
I didn’t call everyone that owns a Tesla a fool. I questioned whether someone who decides to risk their life to test a feature still in beta deserves sympathy.

Maybe it shouldnt be released for real world use with such major bugs then. Dont give me the crap that iTs DiFfErEnT because tesla is a “technology company” either. Its a car, safety features on it should work damn near 100% of the time before it is released.

What crap am I giving? I’m just saying it’s a stupid idea to beta test self driving technology on the highway.

It’s the same reason we don’t take drugs that haven’t been tested yet. You know, not in lab rats.
Google treats its users as beta testers all the time. Difference is a phone won’t kill me when it crashes and reboots.
