Little she knows that if she uses the “self driving” from Tesla she may get into a death trap.

It’s way safer than most human drivers. I use it all of the time.

A FSD vehicle is not supposed to require you to keep the hands on the wheel and be prepared at anytime to take over control. I would say Waymo has a FSD mode while Tesla has a death trap mode with its customers as the beta test drivers.

Do the stats back up your anecdote? iirc Tesla autopilot has some bad failure cases

Than on the worst day of your life after your dog died and you didn't get any sleep? Yes.

Maybe you shouldn’t drive that day. Tesla is not FSD. In case there is an accident you are the one responsible. Looking on a photo of your dog while Tesla is ramming into someone? Your day just got worse

Yes. Let me just be sure to make only totally rational decisions like staying home instead of going to a friend's house while I'm emotionally distraught while driving. I'm sure everyone out there is able to accomplish that.

Tesla's, along with most other modern cars, have an AEB system, which hits the brakes if the driver is ramming into something.
