        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.
