    If I still have to pay attention, what my Hyundai has is fine. I think that’s the biggest issue with any FSD. Theres a sharp diminishing returns past a point. If I can’t take a nap, I don’t care. And I’ll trust any of them the day there are laws on the books imposing a $7.5MM fine per casualty.

    Those cars make the manufacturer money while hoisting the risk onto the public. People talk about stats compared to human drivers, it’s not about stats, it’s about accountability.

      That’s fair and is a reasonable line of “usefulness”. Of driver assist tech, good lane centering + adaptive cruise control are the biggest, most useful features that I think everyone would see big benefits from, and there’s been a lot of improvement in this area over the years.

      Tesla’s AP+FSD has been incredibly rock solid on that front, to the point where most roads feel like you’re on a rail track.
