Soon it will be undeniable that FSD is the most advanced and safest self-driving system on the planet and the haters just need to accept it. It’s a good thing because it’s literally saving human lives.
You might not like Teslas as a vehicle nor the company itself due to the CEO but the fact is that no other manufacturer offers equally capable self-driving system and this is unlikely to change anytime soon. If you’ve not been following this technology closely they just switched from human code to 100% neural nets and the difference between V11 and V12 cannot be overstated. It’s still not perfect and probably never will be but it’s really good and there’s a good chance it’s already safer driver than the average human. This is all done using only cameras. No radar, no LiDAR.
There’s also rumors going around that Ford is about to licence the FSD software in their own vehicles and others are likely to follow so it will not be just Tesla’s that are using it.
I mean, again, I don’t care about this argument that much, but per mile driven, Tesla cars are significantly safer when automated than when not. And even when not utilizing FSD, the other safety controls built into the vehicles make them safer for other drivers.

I’m not going to sit here and pump Tesla, because who cares. But they’re safe cars and make roads safer. Humans suck at driving. Oh look, someone died in a human-caused accident in the time it took me to write this post. You just didn’t hear about it because it was human caused.
Hate on whatever you want, I don’t really care. But automated driving will save a lot of lives.
