I thought everyone knew that tesla doesn't offer the kind of FSD where you don't need to continually monitor it. The current features are driver assist in nature but you still have to pay attention continuously. Tesla recently released a new batch of the most recent millions of fleet miles driven with AutoPilot on or off and they show beyond any reasonable doubt that AutoPilot assisted miles are statistically far less likely to result in a collision than those driven without AutoPilot.
Since your primary safety is determined by your own driver skill and whether you are paying attention, why would you even ask "How safe do you feel?"
Yes, I know there are some fake YouTube videos where they try to make driving on AutoPilot look like it's some kind of stressful, harrowing experience but it's clear from the 99% of real YouTube videos that driving on AP is a more relaxing experience. Yes, it might take you a few days to familiarize yourself with its behavior and how to work it competently but, after that, not only is it safer as the millions of miles of statistics show, it's more relaxing.
As to the Lane Departure Assist function, I believe Tesla just released the first version of that a month or two ago. This is the first iteration and if it improves at the same rate that AutoPilot has improved over the last 15 months, it will quickly leave whatever your Subaru's came with in the dust. That's the beauty of over-the-air updates.
@StealthP3D - First, as I've stated many times in thread, I'm not looking to compare AP or FSD to Eyesight as that would be an apples and wrench comparison.
Your last paragraph does align with my request, so I will respond more to that as I have numerous times in this read before. First, whether released a month ago or years ago, one would expect basic LDA/LKA released by Tesla would be at least equal to, or far better than systems like Eyesight - especially given Tesla's ambitions (and coming soon announcements) with AP and FSD. Also, as mentioned previously, Tesla's LDA functions on less roads than Eyesight and performs worse then the Eyesight LKA function when it does work (sort of). Lastly, for 2020, Eyesight will have "Lane Centering" (rather than the ping-ponging approach currently offered be Subaru and Tesla). "Lane Centering" can but used alone (when you want to drive) also can be pair with dynamic cruise control (when you want to let it drive, with supervision - which makes it similar to Tesla Autopilot (for Subaru).
Welcome to the all-new 2020 Subaru Outback.
"The 2020 Outback features standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology with automatic Pre-Collision Braking. It also includes all-new Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering[6], which can take some of the stress out of driving by helping with steering, braking, and throttle control.
Standard on: All models"
Subaru also offers safety functionality that Tesla currently doesn't, such as auto braking, DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System, Rear cross traffic alert (RCTA) to name a few. So, it remains to be seen where Tesla is 15 months from now. Not sure how they can accomplish RCTA without a rear radar, or if any of the FSD/v10 promises will come to pass. If history repeats itself (with Telsa), what is promised/talked about today may or may not come to pass, and when/if some does, it will be way later than forecasted. Look how "off" they were releasing v9, how they oversold FSD years ago (and lost a lawsuit over it), etc. I know this, I will have the things Subaru advertises in my 2020 (and they will work), when it arrives later in September. YMMV
Disclosure: For our hauling needs, I have a 2020 Outback Limited XT on order as well, so I will be able to comment on both systems from a basis of experience, not opinion, fanboy or hyperbole.
