When I drive with others, I set it and tell them later that it's been on for the last 30 minutes, and their minds have uniformly been blown.

Hah I've done that too! Freaked my one friend out when I revealed the car had been driving itself for over ten minutes, he didn't believe me at first. Changed his mind big time on Tesla's once he had a ride in my MY, he was blown away. Most people I've taken for rides have walked away feeling the same.

For me it's become routine, but for everyone else who rides in the car for the first time it's like a shift in reality.

They are so far ahead of everyone else considering their vertical integration, there is almost no second place in the rearview. I feel like once it is accepted, Tesla will become synonymous with self-driving. So much that it will become like the IBM of computers or the Nintendo of game systems.

At some point (5-10 years from now), all other OEMs will come to the realization that Tesla's lead is so substantial and the investment to "catch up" is so enormous that FSD licensing will become the norm. Just like all North America EVs will use Tesla's NACS plugs, they will license FSD because if they don't they will be looked at as dinosaurs. At that point, Tesla will have unprecedented margins, and make money on cars they don't manufacture... very similar to Microsoft and PC manufacturers, all of the margin was in the software.

This is hugely impressive wow.

 

[falconhoof]

Think of all the pasta they can enjoy now they don't need to waste time focusing on the road.

This is hugely impressive wow.

It's funny because its not so impressive to me as I'm used to FSD performing great. Like I just expect that level of performance from it as its been that good for a long time now.

But yeah to someone not familiar with Tesla FSD I can see how it could be surprising.

No LIDARs were used for this, just Tesla AI technology powering vision-only FSD v14

This man still trying to drive into a ditch on snow covered roads for science. He's lucky he didn't have anybody going by behind him when he tried to drive up the hill himself on summer tiers and slid back down it backwards
