Tesla’s FSD - a Useless Technology Demo

News and discussion about the automotive industry.
Useless seems like a strong word. I tried it out for a trip and I think I only had to intervene once when it phantom slowed down on the freeway. I've had other cars whose lane keep required a lot more intervention.
The Tesla changed lanes to faster lanes, could navigate itself off the freeway, and it wasn't until I got into back roads without lines and stuff before it got a bit iffy. But even then it did a decent job navigating.
I'm not aware of any other systems that can do that.
The point of the author seems that autopilot is better than FSD for him:
The main reason I bought FSD was because AP disengages every time you change lanes. Need to pass someone: Turn into left lane, reengage AP, pass car(s), turn back to right lane, re-engage AP. It was super frustrating.
