Years with an HN recommendation, 2007–2026
HN uses it as a widely seen, fairly balanced real-world appraisal of FSD, both for its impressive moments and for its manual takeovers.
Marques Brownlee records an uninterrupted drive using Tesla's Full Self Driving beta (v10.69) on ordinary roads. He shows how it handles everyday traffic and where he needs to intervene.
“this MKBHD video from a few days ago was a fair appraisal of the current state of FSD” (HN, 2022)
I was of the impression that Tesla's self driving is still not fully reliable yet. For example a recent video shows a famous youtuber having to take manual control 3 times in a 20 min drive to work [0]. He mentioned how stressful it was compared to normal driving as well. [0] [this video]
MKBHD took manual control three times in a 20 minute drive
I'm impressed by this comparison between Tesla FSD vs Waymo. whether Tesla is level 2 or 4 autonomous. I'm very impressed with Tesla's FSD. edit: Tesla FSD reach the destination first by taking the high way while Waymo go the local route and far longer to reach the same destination.
