My personal guess: if Gmail stayed in beta for 5 years after it was opened to the general public, and it was "just" an email service where the only unknowns are how people and servers will abuse the SMTP protocol... then Tesla's FSD will probably stay in beta forever :-)

Gmail had no pressure to go out of beta. FSD safer than human drivers unlocks untold amounts of money.

While I agree with you, FSD is already safer than human drivers in some cases. Safer is not yet a quantifiable metric.

My guess is that FSD will be in Beta until such metric is defined, measured, and indeed FSD comes ahead of humans.
