In my admittedly limited experience so far with FSD Beta, I've made one observation that I hope Tesla addresses sooner rather than later. The "hands on the wheel" (HotW) test of driver attentiveness has got to go.
Where I live in south-central Pennsylvania, roads are very curvy and hilly. When first using FSD Beta, I couldn't figure out why it was disengaging every few minutes for seemingly no reason. I'm pretty sure it's because my hands were on the wheel, and when the car moves to the curves in the road, it's getting too much resistance from me and assumes I'm taking control. While HotW makes sense for highway driving, which is fairly straight and predictable, it's a nuisance for city driving. And for turns, obviously, you pretty much HAVE to let go.
I know Tesla is now using the internal camera to monitor eyes for attentiveness, and in my opinion this can't roll out soon enough. HotW was imperfect from the start but was still good enough for the highway. Not so much for the city.
Anyways - that's my two cents. Despite that rant, this is really fun and I'm super excited to continue testing and watch the system progress
