      if he hadn’t been in FSD mode and passed out and jammed on the accelerator for 2 minutes, would the crash have been avoided? if not, what is the relevance of it being in FSD before the driver overrode it? Seems like the title framing disingenuously suggests it was a factor in the accident, while the content of the article makes perfectly clear that it was not.

      He also Google searched how to make the fsd more aggressive. All we can do is keep speculating in this thread.

        I don’t have any experience with FSD specifically, but I used to have a Model 3 with Enhanced Autopilot before I traded in that Nazimobile.

        In traffic, Autopilot would definitely leave more space and act “safer” than most other drivers on the road around me. Regularly resulting in people cutting me off, squeezing into spaces they shouldn’t be, etc.

        Trying to figure out how to make the car act more like the other traffic is something nearly every Tesla driver has looked into at some point.

          FSD has modes you can set. Slow, ,chill, hurry, and manic, or something like that. You can also tune what each one does, like 5 under limit for chill, five over for manic, etc.

          This is true, friend has one. Just like regular cruise control, you can goose it and it returns to self driving. Not for long though I think, then it shuts off.

          The other thing not mentioned are the interior cameras, Teslas have interior cameras too so they have him recorded doing whatever he was doing.

            I want to believe you, because that’s the sensible way of handling user input. But here’s a forbes article about another incident:

            There are four ways to disengage FSD – pressing the accelerator is not one:

            • Press the brake pedal.
            • If equipped, move the gear stalk upward.
            • If equipped, press the right scroll wheel on the steering wheel.
            • Take over (grab and jerk) the steering wheel and steer manually.

              That’s what I said? The accelerator does not disable self drive, and it’s not in the list.

                Oh then I misinterpreted this line to mean the opposite, my bad!

                Not for long though I think, then it shuts off.

                  Oh yeah that was unclear. I meant i think it doesn’t let you just keep accelerating in FSD without shutting off FSD. But I actually don’t know. I’ll ask the owner I know.

              well advance the counterpoint, then. here, i’ll get you started, “the car is still in full control when the driver overrides the speed of the vehicle. speed control is not a factor in driving”

                What are you even arguing, FSD is a programmed feature in their cars and according to the black box of the car it was turned on at the time of the accident. Period. Read the article.

                What your* opinion on what actually constitutes full self driving is completely irrelevant here.
