FSDs is dangerous

[enemji]

I mean it. FSDs is very dangerous. Just 2 weeks ago I was in a rental car and almost drove through a red traffic light. I am so accustomed to the car stopping by itself that I had to implement disengagement procedures at the last second.

Life is getting terrible with the advancement of technology.

I am seriously thinking of starting a campaign to shut down FSDs before humanity forgets how to drive safely.

forgets? when did humans ever drive safely in the 1st place? you've seen car crash/fatalities numbers, right?

 

[Dewg]

This is true for lots of technology, not just FSD. I've driven my Tesla for so long now that when I had to drive a friends ICE car, I panicked briefly when I let off the gas and the car didn't slow down. Oh yeah - brake pedal.

Don’t ruin it for the rest of us.

What version of FSD was in your rental car? I know it’s happened to others, but I’ve never once had FSD run a red light.

The most dangerous part off FSD is when you forget you turned it off.

Come on, I can’t be the only one.

The entire concept of FSD when you have so many external factors is just wrong to implement. FSD can become a reality when humans are no longer driving and all cars can be connected on an internet grid along with all lights.

LOL...I am being sarcastic about how awful it is to drive without FSDs.

IF all cars are connected, you do not need traffic lights. EVER. The traffic will keep moving like it does in India as they communicate via the traditional time tested honking protocol and no one ever stops.

I believe it’s actually two parts. Honking and finger.

Seriously, in India, Traffic lights are considered as recommendation, and not commands.

Well, that only works at the beginning and ending of signal change. After that you will get into an accident !

Sure. If you are distracted and miss a honk.

I transitioned from a high compression car, so it wasn't a challenge for me... but yeah, when driving a "normal" car... same issue!

Sorry, I misread your post. Even without considering AP, driving an ICE car on the rare occasions I need to rent one is always a bit jarring, especially when you forget to turn the car off.

I don't know which city that would be - but the ones I know - 100% you will get into an accident, since by definition traffic lights are installed only in busy intersections. And since everyone is honking all the time, they are not useful at traffic signals.

BTW, it would be interested what FSD would do at this roundabout.

I have had it do the same things. You CANNOT get used to FSD and rely on it. This is what makes FSD dangerous and stressful. If you rely on it, it can do something that could injure/kill you. If you maintain proper attention (supervise it). driving is more stressful.

NEVER trust FSD.

I have had it fail to stop, stop at the last second (HARD), decide to stop HARD on a yellow, and change speed suddenly. Also, prior to v12, when using TACC it used to handle stoplights perfectly, after v12 it stops for green lights unless the light is "confirmed", and sometimes even when "confirmed".

That's me when I jump in my wife's car!

The rental was just a regular Hyundai Pallisade with obnoxiously loud alerts for everything it saw as a danger.

Just like Boston. Cool!
