relevant to the grandparent’s point: I am demoing FSD in my Tesla and what I find really annoying is that the old Autopilot allowed you to select a maximum speed that the car will drive. Well, on “FSD” apparently you have no choice but to hand full longitudinal control over to the model.

I am probably the 0.01% of Tesla drivers who have the computer chime when I exceed the speed limit by some offset. Very regularly, even when FSD is in “chill” mode, the model will speed by +7-9 mph on most roads. (I gotta think that the young 20 somethings who make up Tesla's audience also contributed their poor driving habits to Tesla's training data set) This results in constant beeps, even as the FSD software violates my own criteria for speed warning.

So somehow the FSD feature becomes "more capable" while becoming much less legible to the human controller. I think this is a bad thing generally but it seems to be the fad today.

I have no experience with Tesla and their self-driving features. When you wrote "chill" mode, I assume it means the lowest level of aggressiveness. Did you contact Tesla to complain the car is still too aggressive? There should be a mode that tries to drive exactly the speed limit, where reasonable -- not over or under.

Yes there is a “chill” mode that refers to maximum allowed acceleration and “chill mode” that refers to the level if aggressiveness with autopilot. With both turned on the car still exceeds the speed limit by quite a bit. I am sure Tesla is aware.
