Ever since Dan O'Dowd started a campaign against Elon Musk related to Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta technology, Tesla fans and owners have been putting together videos to try to show the public how the technology actually performs in the real world. The video above comes to us from AI DRIVR, who's been beta-testing FSD and making videos about it for some time now.
Tesla's FSD beta system doesn't truly drive the car by itself. Rather, it can pilot the car in certain situations, but the driver must remain aware, alert, and ready to take over at a moment's notice. This is because there are just so many edge cases, and the technology isn't necessarily consistent. For this reason, while videos like the above are compelling, we can't assume that the system will react in the same way in every similar situation, and the video shows proof of this.
