We’ve got a 2026 Y and use self driving regularly. We always keep our hands on the wheel and foot hovering over the break so we can override it asap if needed. It’s handled sketchy situations well. I’m more worried about the “adaptive cruise control” that most cars have now - that feels a lot less regulated. Was in a Volvo with it and it was… not great.


Also love the Y. I use self driving every time I get in the car. I generally don't override and do not keep my hands on the wheel or foot near the brake. I've been doing this for about 5 months now. I do switch between standard and hurry modes if I feel like the car is not going fast enough. Those two modes seem to mimic my natural driving comfort.

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.


When that happens, my guess is it won’t make sense to own your own car. You’d call the driverless taxi when needed.

I actually love driving my car. When the day comes that all cars are just driverless machines, I’ll be sad.


So glad that I am of an age where I won’t ever have to buy an EV or a car that drives itself. I also love driving my car.

In deference to Charlton Heston they will need to pry my car keys and gun from my cold dead hands.

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.

Will the latest fsd give me full visibility of changing lanes , help navigate new routes , help with parking? I’ve read it has less interventions and is significantly better.


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.
