LairdJames<p>Having tested Tesla's Full Self Driving (Supervised) on greater <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Boston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Boston</span></a> streets this past summer in my 2023 Model 3, my finding was that the level of effort to be on guard to react and correct against the car doing something wrong, potentially very rapidly, is GREATER than the level of effort to just drive the car yourself. So, that high level of effort defeated the entire purpose of FSD.<br>Hopefully they'll eventually achieve safe autonomous driving in difficult environments like Boston, but it seemed to me they were pretty far off still despite a bunch of articles written by folks seemingly on the take from Tesla showing stellar results on clearly cherry picked driving scenarios. <br>This article detailing the results from AMCI testing more closely matches my FSD experience:</p><p><a href="https://insideevs.com/news/735038/tesla-fsd-occasionally-dangerously-inept-independent-test/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">insideevs.com/news/735038/tesl</span><span class="invisible">a-fsd-occasionally-dangerously-inept-independent-test/</span></a><br><a href="https://amcitesting.com/tesla-fsd/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">amcitesting.com/tesla-fsd/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tesla</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/TeslaFSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TeslaFSD</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AutonomousDriving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AutonomousDriving</span></a></p>
