Yes, I'm sure what you say is true. The haters can't wait for that first accident and especially, that first fatality. The thing is, it is going to happen. Next week, next month, next year. There WILL be accidents and fatalities on FSD. Nobody has ever said there wouldn't be. The point is the statistical chance of that happening relative to human driving. The articles are going to come. It is inevitable. We just have to look past it and keep improving the system. Eventually statistics (and probably insurance companies) are going to prove that the technology is safer. Once that happens, people will come around.
There are going to be absolutely awful headlines and a sea of Fear Uncertainty and Doubt in the early days of this rollout. We know the truth. Hell, my EAP has saved me multiple times. Can't imagine what FSD Beta is going to be like. We just have to stay the course and turn a deaf ear and blind eye to all the BS that most certainly will fly.

I think it will be interesting when any insurance company brings out a policy which discounts for time spent on FSD. In theory, the company should receive a report on whether one is on FSD (or EAP) when an accident occurs, and could adjust the payout accordingly.
Of course Tesla Insurance could do this, but I don't think Tesla insures non-Teslas, so there's no headline for the diff when one uses FSD.
I wanna see the headline / ad that says "If you use FSD, you save 50% (80%?) on your collision insurance".
Nothing would say "FSD is safer" than insurance companies betting their money on it.
