I wonder if they will implement dead zones for self-driving. I was using a Lime scooter in a new city and when I entered a university campus, the scooter slowed to a crawl. I don’t understand why a person would need FSD in a suburb street.

If FSD proves to be demonstrably safer in such a scenario then it would make sense to use it there.

All of the optimism surrounding this industry hinges on "ifs" that never materialize.

The title is misleading and shifts blame from the driver to the machine.

Ultimately the driver is responsible.

Edit: For the folks who seem to think that this is marketed as unsupervised self driving, from Teslas own website it states

“Currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.”

Looks accurate to the content to me.

They do that on bikes as well. At first, I was very confused about what was happening.

Whether if it is either autopilot or Fools Self Driving mode, if this driver did not have their hands on the wheel then he is absolutely in deep trouble. Tesla themselves got into trouble after previous crashes and are finally telling their drivers to keep their hands on the wheel at all times, and toned down their false advertising.

Whatever they do or don't say in the fine print, they and their CEO clearly communicate to every Tesla owner I've met that you do not have to keep your hands on the wheel. tesla.com/fsd has a splash page showing someone driving the car hands-free. I do agree that the driver should also be held responsible.

If it is Full-Self Driving, the machine is the driver. The company providing is ultimately responsible.
