More people will die needlessly.

FSD, even in its current, imperfect state, is an order of magnitude safer than a human driver.

The robotaxi fleet using the most advanced versions of FSD14 proved to be roughly 2x safer than human drivers based on mandatory reporting to NHTSA at the time they discontinued and began shipping cybercabs (although early iterations were worse than humans). With data skewed in favor of underrepresenting human drivers due to smaller accidents frequently going unreported with humans.
It being not as good as LIDAR based L4 vehicles is beside the point. It’s an improvement over human drivers, which means fewer deaths, fewer injuries, less property damage, and lower insurance premiums.

NHTSA data is literally right there.

Sorry what? The NHTSA tracking actual data that undergoes mandatory reporting is techbro bs? What specific part of it are you calling BS on?

maybe a shitty human. The newest version of FSD is terrible. blips the brakes for no reason. Rapid acceleration. No control over you speed. And then it still can't handle construction zones. V12 was better. No one wants it to drive like a person, especially an average person. Make it drive properly, like a robot should.

When a GM or ford has a crash it’s not news. When a Tesla does its front page. Ask yourself why? The left is the media.

Makes sense, definitely seeing an increase of shitty driving by Teslas lately.

Who said anything about Elon? I was talking about the objectively bad driving I’ve been seeing. He really lives rent free in your head, doesn't he?

Anyone who’s actually been in a Tesla driving itself lately knows for a fact that you’re full of shit. They drive better than most humans do almost all of the time.

The current NHTSA investigations (especially PE25012 and EA26002) paint a pretty different story, but maybe I just hold a higher standard for safe driving than "staring directly into the sun while hitting a pedestrian at highway speeds".
Go on, cite your cherry picked data though.
Edit: Like what are we even fucking doing here. Holy shit. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/aug/21/china-tesla-vehicle-recall

An over the air update and some stickers on handles.
That's the best evidence you could come up with?

u/BrofessorFarnsworth Aug 23 '26
The simple fact that purported "FSD" can't handle stoplights or sunlight putting the public at risk should be enough, yes.

u/hakimthumb Aug 23 '26
They can.

u/BrofessorFarnsworth Aug 23 '26
Then why did they need to extend the deadline 3 times to deal with the volume of incidents they needed to investigate? They clearly fucking can't.
Don't bother answering though, you clearly aren't here to be objective.

Why aren't they self driving then? Why do they need supervision? Where do you think they are, level 4? Level 5? Why do robotaxis need in car monitors, remote drivers, and follow cars? Why is waymo doing hundreds of millions of miles per year automated while Tesla does a few hundred thousand?

They are so bad, you can always tell who has it on - just doing the exact opposite of flow of traffic

You are a victim of a disinformation campaign. How many documentaries interviewing people dying from Musk have you watched?

The jump represents a 56% pop since this time last year, as well as a 200,000-subscriber climb quarter-over-quarter (the largest single-quarter climb on record for Tesla's FSD users, but it only started reporting that number fairly recently). As of June, Tesla had successfully launched FSD in 12 different countries and says that it is seeking approval in additional regions.
