Would you even try to use autopilot on CA17 to Santa Cruz?

He was never considering a Tesla. C'mon, man. One and done posters are highly likely to be trolls.
They didnt even See a post past post #5, because they havent been on TMC (at least as that user name) since before post #5 was posted, so I believe this is not very likely. There was not a single post before or up to post #5 that looks even a little bit like a "attack".

Actually today my FSDb stabbed the brakes over 17 when a landscaping truck plus trailer merged into me with the rear corner of the trailer.
Certainly, it will not travel with the 65 mph traffic over highway 17 very well, but it does pretty well at 55 and sometimes 60 mph. It still needs coaxing with acceleration more than anything around sharp turns.
Yeah, that happens a lot on that road, with the curves. Trucks have trouble staying in their lanes. They badly need about a six-lane bore straight through those mountains. It really is rather unsafe to have large trucks on that road.

Yes, especially anyone that has one of those funky looking Santa Cruz stickers.

I believe that FSDb has a bright future. Especially if vehicles are networking and cooperating instead of racing. I’m a 25 year veteran of “Blood Alley” with no accidents, but countless avoidances. Highway 9 was frequently an alternative despite its drawbacks. I typically drove those roads off-peak so there was some possibility of enjoying the drive.

FSD on Highway 17 has once again turned to absolutely hot garbage for me.
It treats the yellow blinking lights as red traffic lights and slams the brakes.

Not hot garbage, just a poor confused teenage AI brain... it's still growing, give it time! It'll get there one day.

Lies. Nobody calls it "the 17". (/s moderator hint)
Also it's nowhere near decent with AP/FSD.

No, no, no. It’s not “The 17 Freeway”: Roadshow
It’s a Northern California thing not to use “the” before a highway, freeway or any other transportation agency such as BART. Get it. Got it.

I decided to fix some grammar to make my revisionist history in the previous dozen posts easier to read. I tried to err on the side of assuming sarcasm rather than snarkiness.
I did enjoy the SNL skits.
