I simply dont see a benefit to the technology in my own life. I’m willing to hear others give their experience though. I think for me, whether its a better driver or not is secondary to accountability. I’m accountable for my mistakes, whereas a co pany like tesla has many many reasons why they should avoid accountability.
If FSD were a state or federal government initiative with the goal of improving society, I think that would go a long way. At least something like that.
In the current system, you are still responsible for the vehicle, including a responsibility to take over if/before it does something stupid.
So if you frame it as ‘driving is my responsibility, and this is a tool that helps me meet that responsibility’ I think it’s a positive.
A LOT of people will, and do, and have, looked at FSD (and its predecessor systems like Autopilot) as ‘I don’t want/need to drive, I’ll let the machine do it (even if the machine isn’t safe)’. These are the kind of people who hung weights on their steering wheel so the car thought they were paying attention while they dozed off (that’s why the cabin cameras became a thing).
