Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, particularly version 12.5.1.3, has been the subject of extensive discussion due to its recent updates.
Users have reported significant improvements, with some experiencing zero interventions or disengagement s during drives, suggesting a move towards what Elon Musk refers to as ‘escape velocity’ where FSD becomes a standard part of daily driving.
However, opinions are mixed. While some users and enthusiasts celebrate the system’s advancements, highlighting its potential to save lives and reduce insurance costs through safer driving, others remain skeptical. They point out issues like the car’s handling of speed bumps or the need for user intervention in certain scenarios.
Despite these advancements, skepticism persists regarding Tesla’s valuation and the complete realization of full autonomy.
Critics argue that while FSD has improved, it has not reached the level of maturity or safety that would justify Tesla’s current valuation or the claims of being on par with human drivers in all scenarios.
Discussions also touch on the economic impact, with some users noting that FSD can significantly lower insurance premiums due to safer driving habits.
