Would be interesting to see the graph of accidents per mile vs percentage of miles driven on FSD (and/or FSD beta)...

The above inspired me to put it this way: When it is said that accidents rate is lower on FSD you need to understand it as "Human driver plus FSD have lower accidents rates than human driver plus whatever hodge-podge of driver assist features is present in all cars". BTW lower FSD accident...

I guess I needed to quote more... You have completely missed the point of my remark - the original post was regarding the insurance and not the sales. So let me rephrase that: as long as improving FSD reduces the cost of your insurance business more than the expense of said improving there's an...

I'm only pointing out the psychological effects of the too frequent phantom braking - they condition you to treat any braking where you do not see anything causing them as phantom braking instead of double checking. Here's an example. Some time ago when the phantom braking was happening more...

That's the "where they do not already have it" qualifier. But in any case whatever tesla gets automatically is a snippet that we do not know how big it is. Additional information beyond that might be useful in some cases.

I agree with this part. They indeed need to be asking for all available dashcam data where they do not already have it. It may not be available in all cases but that is besides the point. On the other hand there might be a few cases they have identified as important and would like to have...

At some point there was a statistic related specifically to FSD and that would need to be worse than average to be on par with general population as it is specifically non-highway driving. Of course there are factors that are not being taken into account to fully analyze the situation but you...

On its own (without qualifiers) this statement is so wrong... Hopefully, I'm just missing prior context with all the relevant qualifiers...

You are basically making my case but drawing different conclusion since you equate "looking" with "seeing". Let me rephrase that this way: the driver is looking but not seeing something could lead to a bad situation if he relies on that and overrides the system (properly reassessing situation...

That's assuming it is cheaper than improving FSD. If, on the other hand, improving FSD will make more money the FSD will continue improving.

Well, English is my third language so I just double checked my understanding of the difference between word "reason" and "cause" and it does not look like I had misused them... In this case the reason for phantom braking would the flaw in the AI and the cause would be whatever triggered that AI...

I had a case when on empty two lane highway the car slowed down (not phantom braking but an orderly slowdown), switched to the left lane, accelerated back to original speed, drove for a little bit in the left lane and switched lane back. Exactly like it does when coming up to a slower driving...

The times it was most annoying was in winter with heavily overcast skies and probably moonless...

:) If insertion of that word makes it easier to understand than let it be, but to me it is a tautology. An "invalid reason" would be a "cause" but not a "reason".

What bugs me the most is the car complaining every few minutes about side cameras being obscured when it is just DARK due to driving on the empty road in the middle of nowhere without any other cars or street lights around to light up the sides of the road. Ok, you think you are blind and want...
