      He also Google searched how to make the fsd more aggressive. All we can do is keep speculating in this thread.

        I don’t have any experience with FSD specifically, but I used to have a Model 3 with Enhanced Autopilot before I traded in that Nazimobile.

        In traffic, Autopilot would definitely leave more space and act “safer” than most other drivers on the road around me. Regularly resulting in people cutting me off, squeezing into spaces they shouldn’t be, etc.

        Trying to figure out how to make the car act more like the other traffic is something nearly every Tesla driver has looked into at some point.

          FSD has modes you can set. Slow, chill, hurry, and manic, or something like that. You can also tune what each one does, like 5 under limit for chill, five over for manic, etc. Along with all the auto cruise distance etc. settings.

        No, pressing the brake does. The accelerator overrides the speed that the software has chosen but only for the duration the accelerator is pressed. FSD is still engaged.

          This is true, friend has one. Just like regular cruise control, you can goose it and it returns to self driving. Not for long though I think, then it shuts off.

          The other thing not mentioned are the interior cameras, Teslas have interior cameras too so they have him recorded doing whatever he was doing.

            I want to believe you, because that’s the sensible way of handling user input. But here’s a forbes article about another incident:

            There are four ways to disengage FSD – pressing the accelerator is not one:

            • Press the brake pedal.
            • If equipped, move the gear stalk upward.
            • If equipped, press the right scroll wheel on the steering wheel.
            • Take over (grab and jerk) the steering wheel and steer manually.

              That’s what I said? The accelerator does not disable self drive, and it’s not in the list.

                Oh then I misinterpreted this line to mean the opposite, my bad!

                Not for long though I think, then it shuts off.
