Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits
SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 1 week agoFor the average person to reassume the cognitive load of driving and awareness of what’s around then
There’s the disconnect.
You’re starting cold. Like, you just woke up from a nap, to find you’re on the highway and have to take over. Then maybe it takes 20-40 seconds.
That’s not the case for a Tesla driver. The driver is required (and it’s enforced by attention monitoring) to stay situationally engaged.
Serious question- have you ever actually USED FSD? In a five minute test drive, or ideally for a long car trip? I believe that you are speaking from a position of ignorance, IE you are speaking factually about something you aren’t familiar with the facts of.
The VERY FIRST TIME I drove a Tesla, I turned Autopilot (that’s what there was back then) on and off several times in the space of a drive. There was no 40 second anything.

What I find interesting is this is something that many people can actually validate themselves, but won’t. It’s one thing to talk about global politics and have a position and be undeterred from it with no real way to concretely get an answer on something, or maybe something that’s unobtainable to them, but there are numerous L2 systems out there today that anyone can go test drive on the highway and find out for themselves, but many won’t even do that. The only real excuse would be that you’re too young to test drive a vehicle.
