Hardcore FSD CT user's question:

[ABILISK]

When FSD saved my truck from a collision, I went from being a liker to a true believer.

I can trust FSD almost all of the times except for when another driver does something stupid. Primary them cutting in front of me as a blind spot lane change maneuver. I have taken over control every time this has occurred (that I am aware of). Any feedback on how it handles the situation for folks that have had actually let it decide?

even with the current v13 FSD on our trucks, I am FAR more comfortable with it driving in heavy traffic, and the main reason why is the computer is tracking everything in 360, in real-time with no lapse in response time. I have arrived to the point where I trust the system to swerve and brake hard even when I don't see the reason. I've had some close calls in which my first reaction was "WTF, FSD!!", only to quickly find out that it was pre-empting the f***ery a few cars ahead.

And put it this way, if you somehow still manage to get into a collision with FSD, my courtroom argument would be that the world's foremost experts have finely tuned this machine to be as crash averse as physically possible. So if I am involved in a wreck, then it was physically impossible for me to avoid it.

But the bottom line is this: you must learn to trust the system. Which means learning what it can handle better than you, and what you can handle better than it. Goes both ways.

for now.

This is no jokes one of my favorite posts of all time on here. I’ve showed it to almost everyone I know.
Anytime I bring it up my family is like, “like in abikisk’s video”?”

Haha thanks, but it’s nothing I did obviously. This blew my mind probably more than anyone else’s since it was my truck on the line.

Was mind blowing for me too. I always knew it made me safer but that was SO black and white. No human could have prevented that.

Not all surgeons can do it. Or do it well at least.

I know this because I get called to some random OR frequently to help control bleeding and that sort of thing and I’m always kind of shocked at how frozen everyone is. They just aren’t used to high acuity high pressure situations the way trauma surgeons are.

I see you, a stone cold stoic, stepping into the theater with this soundtrack playing in your head at volume 11:



[By the way, do you have a lot friends of relatives in special forces (or adjacent). It's funny and ironic, but both professions seem to be magnets for a particular type of person.]

Fantastic track. Love it.
Yeah..it draws a certain type of person for sure.
For me it kind of chose me more than I chose it. I did a lot of hearts and thoracic surgery as a resident thinking that’s what I wanted to do and that was my plan, but whenever I got on the trauma service the attendings felt pretty good about sleeping and pushed to have me spend more time there every year.
By the time I was a third year I kinda ran the service and they actively fenced off the surg-onc people and vascular surgery people to keep me there most of the time. By my chief (5th) year they pretty much told me I could have a high paying job there the day I graduated with or without a fellowship. My wife was still in school and neither of us had ever made real money before at the time so I stuck around a while and I didn’t even apply for a fellowship position. One of my partners sort of arranged it and I got an acceptance offer from an amazing university without even applying. It was flattering and I accepted it.
It kind of just happened.

Keep those hands safe, doc!

From a year ago:

I was cut off today while on FSD and it did a fantastic job. So, my experience is not like OP. Currently what I can’t trust FSD to do is to pick the right lane for an upcoming turn, center itself in the lane and obey traffic signs.

Responding to idiotic moves by other drivers is a strong suit in my experience.

He’s a lawyer. He cares about these little details the rest of us don’t care about.

I never intervene. It is very courteous and lets drivers cut me off.
