I think many here think us who joke about its performance want it to fail.
That couldn't be further from the truth. We all collectively want it to succeed.
So great post
@Twiglett ... Some good drives are nice to hear about.
Btw, the reason I don't complain much is because most (yes, I said most) of my drives are 0 take overs and interventions are me just being courteous to someone behind me while hw3 is thinking and I tap the go pedal. I use it 100% of the time in all weather. Think about it like this. Do you really think you are a better driver when in manual vs. having beta driving while you vigilantly watch it? You aren't. As long as eyes are forward with hands on the wheel or yoke.
I was driving 2 days ago merging and someone not paying attention started to come into my lane. I didn't see it. Beta did and moved me into the next lane. Worst part was the other driver didn't know beta just saved him from paying $$$ for a bad lane change. So let's use it now for what it is, a testing system that will get better over time. I am willing to bet in the next month hw4 will be announced with 2 extra cameras near the headlights and maybe 2 near the rear lights. That system would have the compute to eventually solve fsd. I think this because Tesla is seriously drawing down their inventory because of the Osborne effect.
YMMV. I am sober at the moment, later today no guarantees!
