Alcohol and speed are the cause of _most_ fatalities on our roads. It's a pretty good bet.

I'm personally waiting for the story wherein a police officer finds an unattended child in one of these vehicles because the parents couldn't be bothered to bring their child somewhere. Much more likely to happen once these systems become more affordable.

Absolutely alcohol and speed kill across the board for all vehicles .. the point here is this isn't specific to a Cybertruck (or self driving vehicle in general) unless it's also drunks putting their faith in FSD and not paying attention and being ready to take over.

FSD doesn't speed.

If you define 'speeding' as driving above the speed limit, then FSD absolutely speeds.

"FSD (Supervised) can contextually drive above the speed limit or the predicted road speed to match the flow of traffic. [The Max Speed Offset Setting] specifies the maximum speed it is allowed to drive as a percentage offset applied to the speed limit of the road or the predicted road speed."

People can configure this to 40% above the speed limit if they wish. I'm not sure what the default is.

I own FSD. FSD will travel at the speed of traffic. The % above the speed limit you set doesn't change how it drives for the most part.

The only way FSD will go wildly faster than traffic is if you push the accelerator on purpose, at which point the car beeps and reminds you that it won't stop while you're pushing it.
