These types of comments are unhelpful. The expectations on the driver are getting vaguer and vaguer. Can't drive in damp weather? Yet it's Full Self Driving? Tesla wants to market it as powerful AI but leave all responsibility with the driver, don't encourage that narrative.

I'm not a fan of Elon's branding either, but if you've ever actually driven a Tesla, it's very obvious very quickly that "FSD" is not fully autonomous driving, and Tesla itself festoons "Beta" all over the place. So, yes, the driver deserves some responsibility for relying on it in manifestly unsuitable conditions.

100%. Whatever the actual limits, flaws, and failings of FSD, the outsize criticism of the branding is crazymaking. (as I've commented in many of these threads) no one who actually uses the product for even a short period of time is deluded into thinking it is fully autonomous by the labeling.

My pet theory for some of these dramatic fails: the driver is not risk-averse, and knowingly uses FSD at some limit "to see what happens" (I know I do it from time to time, though not in anything truly risky).
