The idea of a car actually driving itself is fantastic... I'd sleep or play games on road trips. The idea of a car driving poorly and then leaving me to react at the last second is anxiety inducing.
I was excited to drive when I was 16 (15 actually
), but after 25 years of driving it became something I *had* to do, not something I wanted to do. That all changed 2.5 years ago when I got my M3LR... now I find excuses to drive anywhere (still now after 2.5 years). The car is so much fun to drive. FSD would ruin that.
Certainly there are owners that love FSD. Some of them are drinking the Kool aid and turning a blind eye to the danger. Others legitimately are able to make their daily commute without disengagements. Any many others are calling it a major scam and lining up to class action Tesla for their $15,000 back.
I still believe LiDAR is required for true autonomous driving... unless Tesla has a major breakthrough. Cameras get tricked by shadows and reflections on wet roads. They get blinded by the sun. Mine only work intermittently for like 5 wintery months a year. It's a pipe dream.
