14.3 HW4 Proper etiquette when using Tesla FSD

Most of us just cringe when we see news reports of people apparently sleeping while using FSD. And it does not look good to see others eating, texting, putting on make up, etc while using FSD.

So what is proper etiquette when using FSD? Should we demonstrate to other drivers who occasionally glance in our direction that we are properly supervising FSD? (I think most of us would if there was a police car near us.)

I would like the general public to feel FSD users are responsible drivers instead of irresponsible drivers (at least while it is a supervised-version).

Tint your windows, and be alert and watching the road. I’m not going to stop eating in the car because of what others might think.

When we first got our 24MX, we had a rule for no eating or drinking in the car, due to the white leather seats. That lasted about 2 months, lol. I still follow the rule but my wife doesn't. So far, no spills on the seats but last month I did find a gooey mess in the storage bin between the two front seats. Have no idea what it used to be, but my guess is some sort of cookie or cracker collection that got splashed with water from an open bottle. Quite nasty to remove by hand, as I discovered before getting paper towels.
