| Even Musk does not pretend Tesla’s FSD is safe on its own. |
The big concern by the billionaire behind the Dawn project is the prospect of cars being hacked and used as weapons by terrorists or foreign agents. I don't know whether it's a valid concern, but it is a valid question. My guess is self-driving cars don't really become a thing until quantum computing is firmly entrenched. |
So another reason why he’s biased. No one has come up with links to independent testing? Stop pushing BS you can’t back up. |
Biased doesn't make him wrong. I have no skin in this game, I just find your knee-jerk reaction to this to be rather suspect. I have no idea whether there is independent testing, but I don't respond to sealion trolls. |
A few posters have claimed there are studies that show how dangerous Tesla FSD is. Put up or shut up. - would never use FSD but I hate people lying on the interwebs |
Still waiting on the links for this. |
Links? |
Who actually uses it if it is even on the model you bought? You must be a fool. |

Given how often all the other technology in my life fails, plus how often all my data with corporations is hacked, there is no way I would use this.
Did anyone watch that Halle Berry sci if TV show? They had driving cars and someone hacked into her husbands to drive him in front of a train to kill him. I already assume people can hack into the Tesla system and see where I am, if they cared. |
DP. The problem with what you are asking for is that no one but Tesla has the ability to do the kind of larger-scale controlled testing you seem to be looking for. That would take multiple test models of Teslas equipped with activated FSD, which would be prohibitively expensive. The best outside groups can do is collect real-world incident data (which is limited because there just aren’t that many on the road) to derive and extrapolate the results. Tesla is in the best position to demonstrate the safety of its FSD, but they won’t publicly release it and even they don’t claim their FSD is safe for use without constant driver engagement. This is why Tesla had been accused by many as using its customers as crash test dummies. In absence of that kind of large-scale testing, we have to rely on anecdotes like this to assess the safety of Tesla’s FSD: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/12/21/test-driving-gm-ford-and-tesla-hands-free-systems.html |
| I am not an Elon or Tesla guy but the CEO of the Dawn Project HATES Elon and has been running campaigns for years against him. He ran for public office on the sole platform that he would kill FSD. This is a case of billionaires fighting billionaires. |
So the PPs were lying about “testing by others”? |
Billionaire butthurt begets bias. |
To be sure, Elon is eminently hateworthy. |
This. FSD isn't a hands-off pay no attention feature. It's just like a lot of features on other cars, or even cruise control. |
