> While we're sharing anecdotes, I have FSD (13 now) on my model Y and love it.

At what ratio of good anecdotes to bad anecdotes should we trust it? For me, the ratio has to be astonishingly high, such that if there are a few people in the discussion saying it did something suspect (much less dangerous), they're always going to be the ones I listen to. Not that I'm doubting your experience; it's just not enough to outweigh the other.

I have no horse in this race at all, but people seem less likely to tell good anecdotes. There's little interesting in "I used it, it worked adequately."
I guess proper statistics are the thing.
