Let's stop the false information. Tesla Autopilot is extremely safe, and it's in fact so safe that you are not allowed to look away from the road or fiddle with your phone. The reports of people dying were corrected years ago when it didn't make you look at the road. It's annoying, though, because the government ruined autopilot to be more attentive than ever, like you should be able to use your phone or read a book while driving, but now can't . wtf

I always give Teslas a wide berth. Always a good chance the car or driver will do something stupid/dangerous at any moment.


Good. I like it when people stay far away from me.

yes it does all that. i actually think it's better for OP and cars around her to pay for FSD and rely on it instead of driving with fear on a highway. I'm willing to bet FSD makes fewer mistakes then OP - especially for highway driving.

OP, buy/lease a Tesla and subscribe (don't buy it outright) for FSD for a few months at $99 per to evaluate, and if it's not worth it then just drive the car yourself. it's a very safe car and great for day-to-day use/commute and cheap to drive/maintain.


It's subscription? Oh that's wild. What happens if it loses connectivity while on the road?


If it loses connectivity, the car alerts you to take over. I have had FSD for a while now and have only received one alert to take over. I have driven it across the country and here in the DMV. My feeling is that FSD with a competent person in the car is a very safe situation.

When proven safe, personal driverless autonomous vehicle would be a boon for anyone who cannot, or who can no longer, safely drive themselves - the disabled, the elderly, the incompetent, the drunk, and the drugged.

From a EV news site today: "Tesla is preparing to roll out Full Self-Driving (FSD) version 14.3, which Elon Musk says could allow drivers to “pretty much fall asleep and wake up at your destination.” Building on the recent release of FSD 14.1 and the upcoming 14.2, this update is expected to push Tesla closer to true autonomy, with smarter AI models, improved safety, and early Robotaxi testing already underway in Texas. Tesla claims FSD-equipped cars show 85% fewer accidents compared to human-driven vehicles, though regulators like the NHTSA continue to investigate safety concerns. Musk also hinted at international expansion, with approvals being sought in China and Europe. While Tesla still requires active driver supervision today, FSD 14.3 represents a bold step toward a future where cars can handle entire journeys on their own."

Not there yet, but getting closer.

FSD is constantly being updated with refinements and improvements but still requires driver engagement for safe operation. FSD can take over most of the burden of physically operating the car, but the operator is ultimately responsible for his/her own safety and needs to be always attentive and prepared to intervene in the event of a rare but possible situation which is beyond FSD's capabilities. FSD is not 100% accident-proof and makes no claims to be; it's rare and infrequent but accidents can still happen with FSD when the operator abandons their responsibility for monitoring vehicle operation, even if not actually doing the operating.

So FSD is a potentially very helpful adjunct to an aware and responsible operator, but is not a full replacement. Somebody who lacks the physical or cognitive capacity to identify and address a potentially dangerous driving situation cannot responsibly rely on FSD to compensate for their deficiencies.

I’m a nervous and underconfifent driver particularly on highways. For various reasons I will now need to drive all around the dc metro including outside the beltway.

Will getting a Tesla fsd help me with this? I’ve currently got a 2020 Honda crv with some driver assist.

I’m also thinking of doing a highway driving course.



I wouldn't trust Tesla FSD...and I would trust it even less with someone like you behind the wheel. Get over your nervousness.


The way to deal with this is to drive as much as possible.


This op. I'm older and drive less and noticed since covid, my skills have definitely gone down hill. I make myself drive a certain amount every week. I also drive around after 11pm fairly often. I often just stay in my neighborhood but make myself leave to go onto bigger roads regularly. The night driving is important. I also lost confidence in parking and signed up for a couple of lessons with the people who taught my kids to drive. I was not looking forward to the lessons and had to really psyche myself up for them but I was surprised at how much two one hour lessons helped. I should have done it long ago and will probably do a few more in the near future.You can do it op.

Too dumb of a question to answer - are you OP?

yes it does all that. i actually think it's better for OP and cars around her to pay for FSD and rely on it instead of driving with fear on a highway. I'm willing to bet FSD makes fewer mistakes then OP - especially for highway driving.
