how is this not a cult? if a toyota or mercedes car veered off into a light pole would they write the same tweets?

unless this is sarcasm that can, at best in the current times, be construed as serious.

Most FSD users are in it because they see how great things could be if self-driving existed, and are willing to put in the risk to get the algorithms trained.
The risk is mostly on the people outside without any say on the matter.
How does that risk differ from human drivers? Other than the fact that the training would affect many vehicles vs just one driver, and the fact that humans are only supervised with possible intervention for 6hrs total.
The problem is that it's not just them putting in the risk: it's everyone else around them.
As callous as it is, I think this is par for the course of human history. Progress demands sacrifice :/
"Some of you may die but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make."
I used to be. Now I just want my damn money back.
