    The elephant in the room is that the NHTSA still doesn’t have a director, and hasn’t had a long-term director since 2017.

    Steven Cliff was the director for 2 months in 2022. Aside from that, this important safety organization has been… erm… on autopilot (see what I did there?) and leaderless.

    How are we supposed to keep tabs on car safety if the damn agency in charge of automobile safety doesn’t even have a leader?

      TBF, we have achieved a FSD that is safer than one human this year. But we took away the driver license of grandma so now we have to find another human that’s worse than FSD.

        I live in a small town with a large college. The students just came back for fall semester. I believe we have quite a few candidates for your list.

      Lol, ok. Your anecdotal experience can totally be believed over all the data gathered over years. Great. Thanks.

    It is actually 10 times more likely that you will get killed by a human driver than by FSD, but obviously they can not release the technology saying, that it will cause less accidents, because some expect 0 as if any technology is ever perfect. Tesla’s FSD keeps improving, people are not.
