--There could be some bias built into the statistics, but autopilot and FSD is available at night and in the rain. Who knows if people activate it more often or less often in those situations. Most accidents happen at intersections, changing lanes aggressively in blind spots or from driving too close; all of those situations are not likely to happen with Autopilot and FSD based on the grandma driving style of the systems.

-Well, it seems like Tesla wants people with >10k miles on FSD beta to be able to opt out of the steering wheel nannies because they have proved themselves responsible, and the camera will still be there (probably covers them more than alerts the driver). I don't know if that works for any driver of the car like maybe I drove it 5k miles and need the nannies, but my wife drove 5k miles in the car with FSD and is more responsible. Overall, Musk has always been more about personal freedoms and personal responsibilities. He wouldn't expect a Hellcat to have an accelerator limiter on the gas pedal and different than a car needs to monitor your driving. If I can turn off traction control and stability control then maybe people should be able to turn off the nannies.

-The difficulty was obvious from the get-go. His early "demo" wasn't a demonstration of the actual algorithm driving the car, he just had a bunch of stuff hard coded in. As an engineer with some experience in autonomy, I was certain Musk/Tesla was full of shit back in 2017 when he said it would only take a year.
-I would need to look closer at the data to discuss this further and I just don't have the time or energy. I still have a high amount of suspicion though.
-He's all about personal freedoms until the "free speech absolutionist" finds somebody saying something he doesn't like. Also a Hellcat does have a limiter, it's called traction control. You can defeat it if you want to wind up wrapped around a tree but that's a bit like falling asleep at the FSD wheel. The difference is you don't have the CEO saying this car will drive itself.
