Based on what, though? Have you seen recordings of the current state of FSD?
edit: If you want to see some hot pedestrian action, skip to the 7 minute mark...
The hit piece was exactly that -- a hit piece, from a would-be competitor who isn't able to compete right now. Only after they were getting shredded online by anyone with a clue, they then "produced" a bunch more content to try to save face. "Oh look, we had all this other footage showing FSD actually turning on, and then completely separately from those clips, we have more pictures of cardboard cutouts getting mowed down. They're obviously linked, because we said so."
Here's the dumbest part of all: if we're going to blast Tesla for having a bad automatic emergency braking system, then blast them for AEB not working regardless of what drive mode the car is in. But no, let's have the owner of a non-competitive FSD product rail on how Tesla FSD is totes brokes, dawg. Don't worry, we'll sell something better for sure! Eventually. One day. Maybe.
All these insipid, clueless articles about "FSD killed a person last week" don't pay attention to the underlying statistics: on a per-mile basis, Tesla's FSD and EAP products are involved in almost an order-of-magnitude less accidents than human drivers. Google's autonomous test fleet found basically the same thing several years prior. For Google's published results, nealry all the accidents they were involved in ended up being some other human's fault in another car.
Elon Musk is a rampaging narcissistic asshole, he doesn't need my defending. Tesla is selling more EV cars than anyone else on the planet, they don't need y defense either. FSD is pretty cool technology in my opinion, and is IMO where the entire driving world should be going -- no matter who is building it. These articles are purely about FUD and not about facts. Even if there is a fact buried in there somewhere, it's lost in the shit FUD they spread all around it. It's the FOX Politics Morning Show of self driving news.
