FSD is functionally autonomous. Agree?

"Manual" control of an autonomous feature?

Yep, you have made the right decision to stay away.



For those who haven't quit using FSD - There is an option that allows for "5 different levels of aggression " of FSD. "Right scroll wheel"

A rapidly evolving system can't be judged by it's past.

Would I sleep? No but I can’t sleep when my wife drives, and I trust the truck more. But I would watch a movie On the main display, or behind the steering wheel. I feel that would be just enough a of a distraction to kill a long road trip, while still being able to pay some attention, while keeping an eye one the road. Less so than texting or playing a game on my phone.

Just drove a round trip from PA to Washington State and back. With a Starlink mini onboard. I've got a Samsung Fold 7 on a Magsafe charger/mount to the left of the screen - keeps my eyes plausibly on the road. Essentially gives me a mini-tablet in a heads-up display position. Did a LOT of web surfing during that trip. Including of course this forum, notateslaapp.com, finviz.com and X.

Much more comfortable with FSD driving than with my wife at the squircle. Best I could do there was recline, close eyes and attempt to sleep. And try not to twitch at every control input. (She somehow manage to piss off FSD so that it wouldn't come out and play. And ofc did not note what messages led to that. Why ask why.)

With FSD, after a long day "driving" I didn't feel anywhere near as wrung out as I would have w/o FSD. Though on the last day of the return leg, I was sufficiently frustrated by lack of legit speed/behavior control on crowded highways (the persistent pass on right attempt w/o a suitable gap to get back left is a pet peeve) that I just drove manually. We sometimes forget how much fun the CT is to just drive.

I guess this is a good place to put this.

I got a crazy red hands takeover today. Out of the blue. Was on fsd like normal. Then suddenly red hands! I haven't seen the red hands in what feels like forever.

FSD refused to start again. I went to a parking lot and tried the screen reboot. Still not working. Went into service mode and something was wrong with the left camera. I reset the DAS. Still no left camera.

I drove further myself to the destination. When I pulled up the camera feed left camera was blank.

Went inside the restaurant and the truck went to sleep. When I came back the camera was working again and fsd was alive! Very strange glitch or something.

Got a red hands of death yesterday. To be fair, I decided I didn't care for another vehicles inability to stay within their lane and accelerated clear of what I perceived to be a danger zone. FSD is not best pleased when I exceed 85? Interestingly, this disengagement did not end the streak.

Everyone's comfort level is different, that's obvious.

I was looking at my display a couple days ago, and I have over 19,000 miles driven since FSD v14.2, with all but 62mi driven by my CT. My 62mi driving was about half the first day driving thru a snowstorm. I wasn't ready to test it in the snow first. Since then, it's all been in parking lots, finding the spots furthest away from the doors of buildings. Backing another 6" to charger pedestals, that sort of thing.

I did notice recently the app now shows me my ski trip. And I got a badge for charging in Yellowstone. I realize now, I could have gotten one at Arches National Monument if I had charged there.

I can't remember my last critical takeover, it's been so long ago.
