The author of this article doesn't understand how continuous improvement in software works ... Saying that it will "never" work is myopic. Never bet against Moores Law or Elon!

As a Tesla M3 owner (in Europe where we don't have FSD yet) I cannot wait to have it for long road trips on highways where I want to relax and have a "copilot" do some of the "thinking" & driving for me.

Yes, there are still some instances of FSD Supervised doing strange things in the YouTube videos people are posting, but it's definitely no longer a "demo"! It's real and it's only a matter of time before it's better than humans in most circumstances ...

Now as a TSLA shareholder, I'm still sceptical that the RoboTaxi/CyberCab system will be 100% foolproof ... But if they can prove through data that it's safer than 99.9% of human drivers on every day journeys and thus get regulatory approval it will be game changing! If Tesla can do 90% of short ride city driving at a fraction of the cost of Uber/Lyft they have a real cash cow on the horizon!
