Re: stopping, and using FSD in general, the vas majority of the times it stops just fine. There are times when it brakes a bit harder than I would, and times when it stops a bit early then creeps up to the line but as @Yelobird said, one needs to distinguish between different and unsafe. The current goal is safe. Fine tuning can be done after that. The comparison with a new teenage driver has been made more than once.
Many people have commented on the ‘wife (spouse) acceptance factor.’ My experience with FSDb is that you ten to learn how the system behaves with time and come to expect/anticipate the trouble spots. That plus the fact that you’re in control and know you can take over instantly leads to less anxiety with the system than passengers have. For example, I’m used to the fact that it will jerk the steering wheel during turns as it tries to determine the proper course but it’s not pleasant for passengers. Perhaps the best way to describe it is that FSD at times drives impulsively, or like a ‘spaz’ as my kids would say.
Long term, it’s clearly something that needs to be fixed, but it will eventually be fixed as the algorithms improve. Even now, there are plenty of times ise FSD and my wife doesn’t really know or mind.
