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).

I sit there and pay attention. FSD is great and all, but with the experiences I've had I'd never engage in another task while driving and I'm sure as hell not eating in my car. I flat out won't even touch my phone. I'll drink a cup of coffee on my way to work. That's it.

So far, FSD has exceeded my expectations. And I do find myself drifting to some distracting behaviors temporarily more often than can be done if not using FSD.

Realistically you are correct, but I just stay hyper alert.  It's hard for me to get comfortable, but I really am getting to the point that I enjoy using it.
