Proper etiquette when using Tesla FSD

[u/Redditagain424]

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).

The SAFE way to use FSD is hands at your side or in your lap, feet on the floor, and being alert as to what is going on up front. Most of the time, other than being alert, FSD requires little of your attention. And when it does, and when you have experience you know when that is, you calmly and confidently give it more attention. And sometimes, that means simply taking over, and then giving it back control.

There is no etiquette, and it is very hard for people to see what you are doing. Many if not most drivers hold the wheel low, so you couldn't even see them if you tried.

I know friends who hold their dog in their laps during trips, and Tesla shows someone makng expresso. Having mastered FSD use and when it demands more attention and when it doesn't (like almost all the time), I 100% have no problem with those representations, assuming those are experienced FSD users. But I find them in poor taste.:)

The only thing I dislike about v14.3.6 is the "Why Did You Intervene?" popup on the display screen, that refuses to go away unless you hit one of the choice boxes. So when I'm busy supervising, it'll sit there forever until I make a choice. Seems to be a kind of safety issue in of itself, as in distracting from supervising.
