> I don’t know if any of the implementations are up to the mark. FSD isn’t.

It is very clearly called "Beta" software.

You can agree or disagree if Tesla should be allowed to put that out there, but I don't think it should come as any surprise that software labelled as beta is not 100% flawless.




Gmail was labeled “beta” for like 15 years. It doesn’t mean anything.

And if it did, so what? You’re dealing with people’s lives. No one will care what Greek letter they used to describe it.


So get angry at the regulators, they are allowing it.


It is, in fact, possible to have an ill opinion of multiple bad actors in a system.

"Don't hate the player, hate the game" elides the choice to not play.


I am. I don’t think ADAS system should just be able to be blindly unleashed on the roads without some sort of standard testing for minimum safety/non dangerousness.

But above I was just arguing slapping a word on the end doesn’t release you from responsibility.


Listening to you, any flaws or incidents involving FSD are anyone's fault but Tesla's. People who don't understand 'beta', regulators, and so on.

Mind you, that's Tesla's belief too.
