The first was when entering a street from a parking lot, it accelerated to the speed limit instantly. I would never do that especially with bad weather conditions. It was right around freezing and there had been snow and rain all day, perfect conditions for icing. A human would be more cautious under these conditions but FSD seemed to be oblivious to the weather, the car knows the outside temperature and the camera should be able to see that the road was wet, if the camera isn't good enough to discern that then FSD will never work. The other thing it did that was much more frightening is that the car doesn't detect lights until you are almost at the lights. There was a red light up ahead with a couple of cars stopped at the intersection. When I see a red light up ahead I start to slow down immediately, in fact the Tesla Safety score requires that you do that so that regen braking has time to slow the car, however FSD didn't slow the car at all, I was afraid that it would rear end the stopped cars. I hit the brake pedal and disengaged. I haven't tried it since. In a couple of weeks I might do a road trip through New Hampshire, that will be less challenging so I'll give it another try.</blockquote>
