Yes, it "assumes" that the other two drivers will behave as rationally competent motorists. Maybe I've lived in California too long, but I do not assume that.

I got free trial when I purchased MYLR last year for 3 month but hardly use it. It's too jerky. Kept changin lane on highway even with minimal lane change settings and it doesn't work when it's rainning. Got another free one month trial and though it would be better after so many software update but's still not for me yet. It was mistaken the route sign as a speed sign and it was going 15 Mph instead of 50 Mph. I do like the auto park though. Works really good. I wish I could subscribe to just that feature.

FSD from a year ago is very different than it it with V12. It may have a few quirks, but the good far outweighs the bad.

Agree wholeheartedly. Major steps forward.
My gripe list:
VERY S L O W proceeding after stops at a STOP sign. All these cameras & processing per should be faster, not slower, than a 90 yr old.
Exits highway ramps at highway speeds. DANGEROUS. Root problem: doesn't read any Yellow background exit speed limit signs used here in NH.
Misses speed limit signs on exits that are placed on the left seen in MA. Gotta drive in the real though stupid world for Robotaxi.
Still misses some well placed white background speed limit signs. How can this be? Very hard to understand this "easy do" one.
Gets confused mid transit on complex left turns, misses turn and brakes too late. At best irritates car behind. At worst causes rear end collision.

I did not come to the current iteration of FSD with any prior experience or preconceived notions.
My first FSD drives brought back memories of ca. 1990 when the father of a friend introduced A320 to his airline. Oh boy, was the A320 initially controversial among pilots! I was in high school and considering an airline career so I was super interested and was reading a lot.
There are some notorious cases of crashed Airbuses due to human/machine interface miscommunication, even a major one that happened much later over the Atlantic. I also remember reading back then of autopilot throwing suddenly the plane back to the pilots when things get really rough. That was a particularly controversial point and a hot topic for the "FSD haters." Where are all the old school pilots now?
So FSD threw me back 30-35 years all the way to those almost forgotten memories that suddenly came alive.
Most impressive in my limited experience:
--As with every other automation, it is absolutely on a level of its own on routine tasks. Don't try to tell me you can hold 72mph or center of lane better than the car. Routines suck anyway.
--I experienced it do a darn good job in some tight traffic situations, merging, narrow construction zones. My very first FSD drive was about 12 miles with zero interventions. My second was similar--with one intervention.
Most problematic for now for me:
--Struggles with fast merging cars coming from the right on the interstate, happened to me and my wife as well. No idea why but disengaged in two nearly identical such situations;
--Drove way too close to a Vespa style bike even though at low speeds. Too close for comfort, had to take over. This is dangerous.
Back to where we started, Are We There Yet? No. But this won't end differently even if it might take a lot longer to get there.
Oh, yeah, and high profile accidents are unavoidable. What about rectangular windows on the early Comet jets? Did we stop flying jets or did we stop using rectangular windows?
Once the tech is full worked out, insurance for humans will likely start to skyrocket relative to robocar insurance, and the writing will be on the wall.
Which will suck for those who love driving (I do love offroading in my well-modded 4Runner, and I still like highway driving but town? Yikes, robots all the way).
And if you think anyone is catching Tesla on FSD, good luck. Remind me how many companies caught up with MSFT, APPL., AMZN, META, GOOG, NVDA? Boy was AMZN a laughing stock. Was NFLX a laughing stock.
