@Zaddy Daddy I first want to thank you for challenging the convention on TMC and for being contrarian without being adversarial. It's important to stress test beliefs, notions, and "facts" (I put this is quotes because I recently presented a "fact" about cost/KWh that you corrected and I appreciate). That being said...
This is a very important distinction:
V12 is certainly better than the average human at driving, albeit
inconsistently. Don't believe me? Why don't you ask a random stoner 17 year old for a ride then? Or someone walking out of a bar? Or a retirement home? This is why people are calling it "human-like" - which it is. V11 and all prior versions were not. When I gently hold the wheel now, it moves effortlessly in a way that sometimes confuses me into thinking I took over. It's undeniably human-like.
Tesla can see where disengagements no longer occur. I can tell you several of my common routes where disengagements no longer occur - ever. I am certain there are hundreds of Teslas in my area that validate these locations. If Tesla geofenced off the few places where disengagements occur, it would already be possible to traverse a large swath of this greater metro area and ALL of my 100,000 person county where I live 80% of my life. I also believe even with just V11, ALL of the highways in Ohio would be far safer with FSD than humans. That's a big deal.
This is the point: If Tesla wanted to they could give me unsupervised long before they give you unsupervised because, apparently, there are a lot less edge cases here than the insanity you and others live in (no offense, everyone knows the west coast road systems are, well, insane).
