I have FSD Beta. These uncut youtube videos were a large reason of why I bought into FSD Beta, and I will say they show it in a much better light than my on-the-ground experience. I'm not even accusing the posters of selecting only good videos to begin with (although I'm sure that's also happening) - but the videos really don't do justice to the "in the car" feeling.
As a specific example, when the car suddenly slams on the brakes, especially at slow speeds, it doesn't look like a big deal on these GoPro cameras - but it feels like a much bigger deal when you're in the car and you feel the g-force of your body reacting to the sudden unexpected deceleration. Some of the more transparent and honest reviewers like "Chuck Cook" even add an overlay showing these forces in real time on their videos - but seeing a number briefly spike is a very different experience than feeling it live.
I would say FSD is getting closer to "safe" (not there yet though imho) but it's still very far away from "comfortable".
If a cop would've been behind me I would not have been surprised if they pulled me over thinking I was drunk. The car kept driving erratically, switching lanes and turning the turn signal on and off. If you would've been next to me you'd be fearing for your life
If we assume I just got repeatedly unlucky and this was a 1:1000 situation would that be acceptable to you?
