Guy is using the car as his daily driver and has not disengaged the system while doing that either. The coast to coast drive in December is not included in the 9,000 mile streak. Only the Canada coast to coast is. It is way, way better than you want to admit.

For everyone claiming 'FSD' works as 'FSD', it crashed into a house and killed a woman in Katy this week. Of course, Tesla is blaming the driver for using 'FSD' as 'FSD'.

Don't lie, that's not what Tesla said. Elon's response was that the accident facts (high speed through a residential neighborhood) is inconsistent with FSD use.

no idea what actually happened, but Tesla is claiming he took it off FSD.

I assume Tesla could actually prove this since they are likely tracking you?

any car should be able to show whether the driver had their foot on the pedal or not.

People who like Tesla will believe them and people who don't will not. Same old crap.

I'm dubious that FSD decided to take the guy through a neighborhood at 70 and he just couldn't override the car, but certainly good nightmare material.

It did not. FSD allows driver override of speed control. When the speed reaches a threshold the car displays a warning for the driver to take full control of the car and puts on the vehicle's hazard lights. Witnesses stated the vehicle had its hazard lights on. Everything is consistent with a driver that pressed the accelerator, presumably confusing it for the brake, and never adjusting.

No driver in control: No accident
Driver in control: Accident


Ashok Elluswamy is Tesla's lead engineer for FSD.

Yup. In this case, the driver manually overrode self-driving by pressing the accelerator all the way to 100% of the accel pedal in this residential area. They reached a speed of 73 mph during the crash, and had the accelerator pressed even after the crash.
