The latest version is really good, considering. Drives roughly like a bottom 20th-percentile driver.

I use it 100% of the time that nobody is behind me. The worst thing is how it handles stop signs… it actually stops at the stop sign, then rolls forward slowly to where a human would actually stop.

(Note: I got it back when FSD was substantially cheaper; I don’t think it is work the $12k it is today)

You can thank NHTSA for that...

Why the 'nobody is behind me' ?

Phantom slowdown doesn’t really happen anymore. I primarily don’t do it because of the stop sign issue and sometime some turn signaling without changing lanes.

So basically… embarrassment. I don’t mind it driving like an old person, but I’m embarrassed to be seen as driving that way.

Maybe due to Phantom breaking? that's the #1 issue I've seen with Enhanced Autopilot and it's terrifying when it happens.

I've never had issues with lane changes or general driving, but the phantom breaking (where the car slams the breaks out of the blue) is extremely unnerving, and the main reason why I use self driving a less these days than I did in the beginning.

I’ve never had a phantom brake on FSD. I know others have though… not sure what the difference is.
