I was just discussing how bad sensors are on any vehicle. Automatic lane steering is scary to use and does not feel like an actual driver even when it is working. Those sensors that alert you of something being to close go off randomly at street lights all the time. Factor in weather, faded lines, missing speed limit signs, dirt, and a million edge cases, and there is no way a vehicle can safely be trusted to drive itself.
So many consumers aren't aware of these risks. More so, the people taking these risk aren't just putting their own lives in danger. FSD needs to be illegal.
