I thought maybe this Oakland video was an outlier in how bad it was, but I've watched several videos from the related videos, and the Tesla subreddit, and the system really seems like it's in bad shape. I'm really surprised that regulators are allowing this to be tested on public roads, and that Tesla hasn't pulled it. It is bad enough that when I see Teslas on the road now, I feel unsafe, because the system is so unreliable right now.
I would encourage anyone to watch the videos and make up their own mind, bc I do feel that people over-correct in their Tesla skepticism sometimes. But in this case, it seems warranted.

At the very least you should be required to put a visual sign that your vehicle is in "FSD" mode. Sort of like how we require "oversize load" signs so that others can take extra precautions around those vehicles.
And when that catches on, Tesla will start producing cars that look very similar to the ones from other manufacturers, so that people would have to drive carefully around every car as well.
Just ride as a passenger through a road with cars parked on the side. When I did that about 1.5 year ago, it missed about a third of the cars and pictured a couple as moving on the driving lane.
That’s an excellent point. Our government has failed to handle this situation, and these systems should not be allowed on the road. I also avoid Tesla cars like the plague and do not trust what’s going on inside.
