Do yourself a favor and try it. Honestly, it's crazy this isn't getting more attention. You literally click a button and it does 99% of driving for you. And this isn't like basic bs ADAS that just does lane keeping and adaptive cruise control (maybe hands off on select stretches of highways).
Tesla FSD literally makes turns (including u-turns), merges lanes, works on virtually all regular roads and highways, etc. It still makes mistakes sometimes, but nothing safety critical in my experience since it received a major update earlier this year.
And I say this all as someone who thought it was gimmicky and sucked a year ago. For $100/month it's a no brainer and reason enough to buy one. Shocked this tech is not being licensed by other companies yet.

You don't realize the cognitive load associated with driving until the car does most of the work for you. If you are driving without assistance, you have to keep track of about 8-10 things at once: make sure you're not speeding, make sure you don't run into the car in front of you, make sure that there's no deer or idiot pedestrians about to jump in front of your car, make sure your blind spot is clear if you need to change lanes, etc. With the FSD, you can forget about all of that and just make sure the car doesn't do anything stupid. I didn't realize how much more relaxing it is until I tried it.

And your point is what? We have all spent thousands of hours doing laundry. It's less annoying to wash clothes using a washer and dryer rather than a sink and a clothesline. Just because you can still complete a task using an older, much more annoying technology does not imply that the new, less annoying technology is useless.

IMO people LIKE driving and don't WANT to be driven around!" in the span of just a few short years.
Oh man.... I guess Tesla's improved FSD package won't end up being wildly successful and insanely profitable for Tesla within the next few years after all, since we've established that nobody actually wants this service.

It's a weird dichotomy because to me, it absolutely is not worth $100/month.
Yet it is insanely impressive and also sort of scary for the future. The whole "we were promised self-driving cars and its never happened lol" line is gone now.
We are 99% of the way there, and if we were ambitious, we could probably have accident, traffic free highways in 5 years. It'll probably end up being more like 15-20 years, but we have the tools now.

Personally, it depends on how much I drive. As someone who is primarily WFH, I can't justify spending $100 per month when I am driving for maybe 30-40 minutes per week. But I have rented it for a month here and there when I had some longer road trips planned.

It's very rare for it to make mistakes that might kill you or cause an accident. After driving with FSD with probably close to 1000 miles last summer, I can't remember that happening once. Most of the mistakes I saw were minor stuff that could get you a ticket, but probably wouldn't cause an accident unless another driver wasn't paying attention. For example, when I drive home from work, my FSD always tries to get into the turn lane too early. It doesn't seem to know that it's a left turn only lane before at the light. (My on ramp is past the light.) Or there's another place near my house where it can't see the lane marker and just drives in the middle of the two lanes.

The closest experience I have had is heavy rain. It beeps at me non-stop saying that "FSD performance may be degraded due to weather conditions." But aside from the annoying non-stop beeping, I didn't notice it performing any worse than it normally does. Of course, that doesn't tell you much how it will perform when the roads are icy.

To be fair,
PS: Tesla's profit margin on software packages like this (which, once they are developed, can instantly be ported into any given car with the click of a button at no marginal cost to Tesla) is comically absurd. And of course, Tesla can not only sell them on an ongoing subscription model, but in the future they can also offer all sorts of upgrades for additional upcharges which a lot of people will happily buy for another $20 or $50 or $100 month or whatever (multiplied by millions of Tesla owners across the world over the lifetime that they own their cars...).
It's almost like TBF actually had a great point when he kept insisting that TSLA still remains a great buy at current prices because at its core, Tesla is actually a *software* company and it's only just getting started when it comes to leveraging that aspect of its business model.
B-b-but that can't be right... TBF is always wrong about everything!

What's to stop someone else from training a similar model? They bet heavily on training neural network's at scale, which apparently paid off. The development time frame would give someone the impression this is extremely difficult to do, but the reality is the exponential decrease in compute costs has made it only possible recently. You couldn't train a system like what currently exists back in 2016 because there weren't a million H100s sitting around. I suppose you make the argument that these models are extremely data hungry and they have an advantage there, but I think that's misleading. You can take a pre trained LLM and have it rapidly learn a new language. A pre trained video model (train it on all of YouTube) could very likely be fine tuned to drive a car with a much smaller amount of data. This becomes significantly easier to do every year.

On the software side Tesla has a vast data advantage from collecting and training on video clips from the millions of vehicles in their fleet. They have also been at this specific AI use case problem for 7 years, while any serious competitor would need to:
1. Spend billions just on compute
2. Develop all the training infrastructure
3. Outfit millions of cars with the $1.5K hardware suites (cameras and chips) for data collection and testing beta software FSD.
Safe to say it would take years to replicate Teslas strategy and require feeding many different mouths, while Tesla manufactures their own cars, codes their own software, designs their own chips, develop and manage their own data centers, etc.. And even when they do catch up to where Tesla is now, Tesla will probably be deploying robocabs at scale for $1/mile (Uber’s are $2-$3/mile largely due to driver-associated costs). At that price point, many people probably won’t even bother owning cars.

The training infrastructure is becoming ever cheaper. Algorithmic improvements and hardware improvements for AI training are likely to continue to for the foreseeable future.
Again, data is not the wall people think it is. It’s cheaper and more effective to just train on car data, but you can pre train on other video data to give the models substantial understanding of the world and then fine tune on car data. Companies like Alphabet are likely to be training very large multimodal models on games, text and video data in the near future because they want AGI. You don’t need massive amounts of car driving experience with a model that basically understands how the world works. There’s a reason why Google can give Gemini a book of a new language not seen in training and have it learn with human level sample efficiency. If you already have a conceptual framework, you can repurpose learned representations for a novel environment without starting from scratch.

Training infrastructure may technically be getting cheaper, but only a handful of companies have the ambition, rationale, and shareholder pressure to spend billions per year on H100/H200 chips to work on AI projects.
Tesla is spending $10B in 2024 on AI (mostly related to perfecting FSD) and for all we know they may need to continue spending this amount for years until FSD is robotaxi ready. We don't even know yet if their autonomy strategy (vision only, no lidar/radar or other sensors) is "correct" yet, so there is still no rush by any other company to aggressively even try to replicate it.
I think you are assuming because LLMs have been easy to commoditize, self-driving will be similar. I think the problem is much harder than you give it credit for. You need many billions of real world miles, develop and onboard an affordable hardware suite on millions of vehicles to collect all those miles, hire a capable team, know exactly how to optimally train the models (there is no off the shelf solution for the self-driving AI problem because it has never been solved yet), and then deploy them and hope very, very few people get hurt/killed before your science project is yanked off the market.

The question you have to ask yourself is why you think you need billions of miles. That is undoubtedly true if you are trying to take raw camera car data and map it to actions using a CNN or a transformer. The NN has to learn a model of the world in order to do it and it has no prior knowledge to start. Contrast that with humans, who can learn how to drive reasonably competently in a handful of hours. Why is that? Because they already have an implicit understanding of physics and people, so their synaptic weights just need to be nudged a little bit in order to operate a car. Right now the assumption is that you need to start from scratch training a world model from car data, but that’s a dumb way to do it when you can just train general models and then fine tune. Why automate driving when you can automate most of human labor at the same time? And OpenAI and Microsoft and Google are well positioned to do just that. Play around with ChatGPT vision for a while and then ask yourself how implausible is it that a model like that could be fine tuned to drive a car. The inference costs wouldn’t work with the base model and current GPUs, but that’s very likely not an insurmountable obstacle.

Unlike getting a bad answer using an LLM like ChatGPT, the stakes for driving are much higher because mistakes can lead to death. A much higher higher level of precision is required for society to trust it.
Driving is full of unpredictable edge cases that cannot be reliably handled without billions of miles of diverse driving data so even the rarest of scenarios can be handled appropriately. Human drivers may learn to drive in a few hours, but their experience comes with years of real-world interaction and constant feedback from a wide range of situations.

I think you're missing the bigger issue here. Tesla's FSD works beautifully 99.9% of the time. But you can't get a truly autonomous robotaxi until you nail that final 0.1%. And we are now seeing that this is incredibly difficult to do. In my city, there are certain lights where left turns are not allowed during rush hour. FSD is completely oblivious to this. It also doesn't know that certain streets are one way due to construction even though they have been that way for almost two years.
I think Tesla's competitors in the autonomous driving space have realized that you will never get to true autonomy unless you pick a couple cities with good weather year round and train your model to death on those cities. That's the approach that Cruise and Waymo have taken. They actually have functioning robotaxis in a couple places, and they are slowly expanding their service areas.
Tesla's FSD isn't anywhere close to being able to do this. And I'm not sure that FSD will ever be able to be more than a fancy driving assistance feature. Being able to drive safely 99.9% of the time in nearly all locations is impressive, but I'm not sure how much it helps you solve the problem of driving safely 99.9999999% of the time (which is what a truly autonomous vehicle needs to be able to do). It will be interesting to see what happens.

To be fair,
GIANT TWIST THAT NOBODY COULD HAVE EVER SEEN COMING: Putting aside the robotaxi prospect (which may or may not end up being solved by the AI-assisted supercomputing that Elon is currently throwing at the problem), consumer-oriented personal FSD systems don't have to be perfect in order to become the standard. They only have to be significantly better *on average* than the *average* human driver, and then we'll reach an inflection point where "pressure" (much of it artificially imposed in a top-down fashion by insurance companies who stand to save a ton of money) will begin mounting to fully normalize FSD even if it's only 99.99% instead of 99.9999% or whatever. Expect to see a massive (((media campaign))) seeking to accomplish precisely this task within the next five years, with legislators being brought to heel as well. At that point, Musk critics will be betting against Elon *and* (((The Auto Insurance Industry)))... I wish them the best of luck.
ENORMOUS OCEAN-SIZED DOUBLE TWIST (SIT DOWN FOR THIS IT WILL SHOCK YOU TO YOUR VERY CORE): Despite the fact that brilliant Jewish shitlib Pumos have been smugly assuring us for years now that Elon Musk is a midwit charlatan who will never deliver FSD on that level, Tesla is already almost there right now in 2024 (admittedly in no small part because a ton of drivers in this country are literally brown and drunk and retarded so the "average human driver" bar is actually pretty low at this point).

I agree with you up to the point. As a fancy driver assistance feature, I'm not aware of anything on the market that approaches Tesla's FSD. Most other companies can't do more than adaptive cruise control that stays in a lane on the freeway and changes lanes automatically. Tesla gives you all of that except for automatic lane changes for free.
The issue is that I feel like the upside for this fancy driving assistance technology is much lower. The first company that produces a truly autonomous vehicle that works in all locations and conditions will be a multi-trillion dollar company that completely changes human civilization. A fancy driving assistance feature, on the other hand, can probably fill a profitable niche. But are the potential profits enough to justify Tesla's already sky high valuation? I'm not sure.
That is an interesting point, though, that if even assisted autonomous driving becomes significantly safer than human drivers that you might start to see pressure from insurance companies (and legislators) to make it a standard feature. It's going to be fascinating to see what happens.

Until Cruise or Waymo get their robotaxis to the point where they function nationwide, at which point Tesla's FSD becomes obsolete. How many software/tech companies over the years have gone bust or lost 99.9% of their value because a competitor built a better mousetrap? And I say this as a Tesla owner who thinks that FSD is amazing. But back in the day, I thought that WordPerfect and Netscape Navigator were amazing. Tesla might very well win the autonomous driving wars and end up with a valuation like Apple, but they could also end up like WordPerfect. I don't why you always throw such a temper tantrum when people point out that while investing in TSLA has a ton of potential upside, it is still a very risky investment.

I'm not saying that Waymo is superior necessarily. I'm saying that they are taking fundamentally different approaches. Tesla's FSD works in nearly all locations and conditions, but it doesn't work well enough to use without a human supervising it. Waymo has robotaxis with no drivers in San Francisco, but they only work in San Francisco (and I think maybe another city or two). Tesla can't come close to doing that right now. Now as you said, I think there is a market for a fancy driver assistance technology that still requires supervision. But betting that Tesla (rather than Waymo or some other competitor) will be the one to solve truly autonomous driving is, at best, a risky bet.

Elon's been promising truly unsupervised driving in a year or two since around 2014. I'll believe it when I see it. I'm honestly not sure it's even technologically feasible given Elon's decision to get rid of lidar. How is it supposed to drive safely in heavy fog or rain if the cameras can't see anything? Maybe the new robotaxi will have lidar and they will be able to tweak their existing algorithm, but I think the time scale is more likely to be decades rather than years. Training your model to handle every single weird edge case is extremely difficult to do.
It is, however, an amazing ADAS system. I honestly find TBF's bull case for Tesla to be more compelling. Things like seat belts, airbags, and backup cameras used to expensive add-ons for luxury cars. Now it's not even legal to sell cars that don't have these things. Once enough data comes out that FSD is safer than human drivers, I think you'll start to see pressure from insurance companies and regulators to mandate its use. And I can easily envision a scenario where Tesla starts licensing its FSD to other automakers because they don't want to build their own system from scratch when Tesla is years ahead of them.

Cruise is basically det. Their CEO got fired and even went on a rant against their partner GM for not being ambitious enough with solving self-driving.
Waymo is too expensive--more expensive than Uber--so they are not a real threat to Uber. Costs $200K to outfit their cars with all the sensors and dildos. Yes, those will get cheaper over time, but their self-driving solution is not very scalable. They need to pre-map every city, which is difficult because 10% of roads change every year, there's construction projects obscuring roads, etc.
The company that can build a car for $20K and outfit it with only $1K-$2K worth of self-driving cameras and chips will win the robocab market because they will be able to offer rides for $1/mile (cost of an Uber is $2-$3/mile mainly due to driver-related costs).

That's kind of my point. Yeah, Tesla can put "self driving" cars on the road more cheaply than Waymo can, but that and 50 cents will buy you a doughnut if the "self driving" technology can't actually drive by itself. Waymo's approach is far more expensive, but they actually have robotaxis driving around San Francisco without any drivers. If Tesla tried that, there would be dozens or hundreds of accidents every day.
Your concerns about Waymo's business model are valid. It has a long way to go before it becomes profitable, and it is unclear if it is scalable. My response would be that even if it only operates in major cities initially, that would still be a game changer. Tesla has a very long way to go before they will even be close to being truly autonomous. (The issue about roads changing and construction problems is an even bigger problem for Tesla given that they are trying to build self-driving cars that will work anywhere.) Maybe they can just fine tune their FSD algorithm to get true autonomy in certain cities/regions, but Cruise and Waymo had the equivalents of Tesla's FSD on the road years ago. Getting from 99.9% reliability to 99.99999% reliability is an extremely difficult problem.
So it will be interesting to see what happens. My point is that Tesla has some competition in this arena, and it's far from clear that Tesla is going to win.

Tesla's current version isn't robotaxi ready yet, but the point is the trajectory of improvement suggests they are very close. Having no intervention drives is normal for me and I can't remember the last time I disengaged for safety concerns.
It doesn't matter if Waymo operates in major cities or not - the bottom line is their bloated cost structure forces them to be more expensive than Ubers, which means they will struggle for market share. The one advantage they have over Ubers is some people are willing to pay a premium and wait longer (Waymos fleet is less than 1K, Uber has 1.5 million drivers in the U.S.) for a ride without a human. That's a very small market.
The point of Tesla's vision-only approach re road changes and construction is that because their AI models are trained on enough video data of what to do around construction areas they won't need to be specifically programmed for how to act around those types of areas. They will intuitively behave as humans would - follow detour signs, respond to hand motions from construction workers, etc. Meanwhile, a Waymo will stop dead in its tracks like a train following a route would.
Tesla is by no means guaranteed to win, but my point is IF their approach to self-driving works, their superior cost structure to competitors will flip the entire rideshare/car ownership industry on its head.

To compete with Uber, Waymo is eventually going to have to put far more cars on the street and lower their fares. But both of those things are far easier to do than designing the robotaxi in the first place. Once you have a robotaxi that works well, your marginal costs are almost zero. You can lower your fares as much as you want and still turn a profit.
And I'm not optimistic that Tesla will ever get to the point where they will be able to follow detour signs or hand signals from construction workers. Some of my biggest issues with current FSD is that it doesn't seem to know how to handle construction zones at all other than to avoid orange cones. There is a street by my house that was temporarily converted to one way almost two years ago while they build a new building. My FSD still tries to drive the wrong way down that street every single time (despite the huge "Wrong Way" sign). I think the only way that you are going to get true autonomy in the foreseeable future is to follow the Waymo/Cruise approach and get really familiar with one city at a time. Current machine learning technology simply can't handle all the weird edge cases that can happen when driving.

It doesn't really add to your credibility when you throw a tantrum any time someone doesn't drink the Tesla Kool-Aid. On the contrary, I think Tesla's FSD is a fantastic driver assistance feature. True autonomy is almost certainly a very long ways away, and right now Tesla is the only self-driving technology that is even close to being commercially viable even if it is not fully autonomous. I'm not bearish on Tesla by any means. I'm just questioning whether the potential future earnings for a fancy driver assistance feature justifies Tesla's crazy high valuations, especially since their EV sales have been declining despite major price cuts. And I don't think you can justify that valuation by saying "soon FSD will be fully autonomous," because that seems wildly optimistic given the current state of the technology, and Tesla has competition that is well ahead of them in the robotaxi game.

How much did the first Tesla Roadster cost to build? You act like companies never manage to build a final product that is cheaper to manufacture than their original prototype. My guess is that they will figure out pretty quickly that some of the sensors are redundant. (And as I noted above, this is actually another argument against Tesla's technology. Without lidar or any sensors other than cameras, how is FSD going to work in heavy fog or rain?)
And 99% of the work has been done for autonomous driving for at least 5-10 years now. Unfortunately the final 1% is thousands of times more difficult than the first 99%.

Elon literally has like the 5th most powerful computer on the planet cranking away at this very problem using the latest cutting-edge AI technology (armed with billions of hours of real world driving data with more being added at an ever-increasing rate every single day) to help iterate next-generation computer-written code aimed at getting this tech from 99.99% to 99.9999%. He also has no shortage of money or willpower to continue to throw at this problem, and he has every possible incentive in the world to continue to do so -- because whoever fully automates cars* (see below for *) will literally print endless money for years to come. And his approach is already paying massive dividends; it's not a coincidence that this latest software update is a quantum leap forward from where this tech was just a year ago.
What sort of comparative financial and computing resources does Waymo have to throw at this problem, I wonder?
*As discussed above ITT, the idea that FSD needs to be 99.9999999% accurate or whatever in order to become socially acceptable is simply bullshit. This tech doesn't exist in a vacuum, we don't live in some hypothetical world filled with perfect human drivers who never kill people or cause accidents in cars. FSD only needs to become demonstrably better than the *average* driver on the road before the entire (((car insurance industry))) will suddenly make a huge coordinated push to normalize it for purely financial reasons... and once we hit that tipping point, you can bet that (((the mainstream media))) will fall right in line. You really think (((they))) won't happily save money pushing this tech?
You're a fucking idiot if you can't see that turn of events coming down the pike within the next few years, and I say that as a MFE in this field. You can consider this to be a firm prediction from the same guy who advised XO to buy BTC in 2013 and ETH/TSLA in 2017. HTH.

Oh, I agree completely that autonomous driving will probably change the world eventually. I'm just not sure how soon that "eventually" will be. We have had autonomous driving technology that works 99.9% of the time for at least a decade now. Adding extra 9's to that percentage is proving to be far more difficult than anyone thought.
And Waymo is an Alphabet company, so they don't exactly have a shortage of cash to burn on this technology. Cruise is backed by GM, and Amazon is trying to get into the autonomous driving game as well. Tesla may very well end up on top, but they have some tough competition, and I'm not sure that they are the horse I would bet on right now.

Waymo's annual R&D budget is a small fraction of Tesla's annual R&D budget, Waymo's computing power is a little fraction of a little fraction of Tesla's computer power, and the IRL data pool that Waymo has at its disposal is a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of the data pool that Tesla gets to work with -- and the delta on all of those fronts is only going to increase exponentially from here on out. (And real talk: lots of people think that Teslas are cool, while Waymos are objectively gay as fuck and look like they have dildos sticking up out of their roofs.) This race is over on every level.

I didn't bother to google to confirm your claims about the computing power/R&D budget for Tesla versus Waymo, but if that is correct, you're not at all worried that despite far fewer resources, Waymo is absolutely kicking Tesla's ass in the autonomous driving arena? "Yeah, I'm totally going to hop into this Tesla robotaxi because it looks cooler than that dildo-looking Waymo car. It's totally NBD that it sometimes tries to drive the wrong way down a one-way street."
Look, I own a Tesla, I use the FSD, and I think they both are amazing. If Tesla's stock price drops to a more reasonable level, I will be dumping my entire net worth into it. But you seem to have your mouth so firmly around Elon's cock that you're completely oblivious to Tesla's potential weaknesses and threats.

Well, Waymo has had robotaxis in several cities for years now with no major incidents, whereas Tesla's FSD keeps trying to drive the wrong way down a one-way street in my neighborhood. If Tesla has autonomous driving technology that is anywhere close to being as reliable as Waymo, they haven't released it publicly.
Again, as a driver assistance feature, FSD is amazing and seems to be far ahead of any competitor that I'm familiar with. But for truly autonomous driving, right now Waymo and Cruise are years ahead, and if you don't see that, you're simply not being objective.

The FSD does transfer to the new owner of your vehicle if you sell the vehicle. However, if you sell your vehicle with FSD and buy a new one, it does not transfer your new car. In other words, the FSD is tied to the driver, not the car.

For those who want/believe in FSD: how will liability work? Is the "driver"/vehicle owner responsible, or the FSD maker? Are insurance companies going to cover the costs of FSD-related mistakes occurring with their insured drivers "behind the wheel" (assuming FSD can never be perfect)?
I wouldn't want to be in a FSD vehicle unless I knew it (whoever "it" is) was fully liable in all cases at all times... in which case, why would I even need insurance?

To be fair,
CR.
TWIST: Tesla insurance is offered at a very attractive rate, but it requires drivers to agree to allow Tesla to use its cameras to spy on them and confirm that they are operating the vehicle in accordance with Tesla's dictates (which gives Tesla the ability to parse out cases where drivers fucked up and refuse to accept liability in those instances). It also gives Tesla even more visibility into cases where FSD actually does fuck up, which is very valuable information that Tesla uses to further refine the tech.
It's almost like Elon has carefully created a giant feedback loop that gives him ever-more control over the product and simultaneously also helps him to gain an ever-greater data-mining advantage over all of his competitors.
But that sounds pretty smart, and Jewish Pumos on XO have assured me that Elon is actually just a lucky midwit charlatan. This can't be right!!!

Another reason the rates are so attractive is because when you have a claim, they don't pay it or even answer the phone. Go read the Google reviews for Tesla insurance some time. I think you are giving Elon too much credit here. His "insurance company" is just a grift to try to make his cars more affordable.

Of course he will. That's not the point. I'm just pointing out that you're sucking Elon's cock so hard that you mistake a simple grift for some type of 4D chess.

You're missing the point a bit here. A person is already allegedly 5-6 times more likely to get into an accident driving without autopilot/FSD than with.
I'm sure there is some jiggering with the statistics there, but let's assume its at least even now - and improving rapidly each year. And it's going to improve incredibly quickly once there are no humans on the road and all the robots can talk to each other in real time.
I'm sure there'll still be accidents, but it could easily be 1/1000th the number of accidents we have now.
CSLG's "doctors" will finally be out of business.

On further review there is a huge problem with FSD-- it's way too easy to fall asleep behind the wheel.
This is the pink elephant in the room and explains why Tesla keeps adding more cameras inside the car.
My prediction is that FSD is never fully adopted until it's safe enough for 0 attention span. Otherwise it's dangerous as fuck because it induces proles to sleep.

To be fair,
FSD will be normalized and adopted just as soon as (((car insurance companies))) decide it's in their financial interest to collectively lobby and push for that outcome. Which means it only has to be demonstrably safer than the average human driver. You can bank on that happening within the next few years (frankly we're already there, but let's give it a few more years because more people need to experience it like the OP in order to start spreading the word and helping to pave the way towards broader social acceptance).
People screaming about how FSD needs to be 99.999999999% safe are the 2024 equivalent of the old fogies standing around their mainstreet horse watering troughs back in 1904 ranting about how "these danged gasoline-powered auto-mobiles shouldn't even be allowed on the roads because they just go too gott-darn fast!!!!" LJL yeah, Ford will never sell a million Model-T's and usher in the automobile age now!

To be fair,
TWIST: There will be several decades where both human drivers and FSD tech will be operating simultaneously on common roads, and throughout that entire time there will easily be more than enough accidents to continue to "justify" state legislatures imposing high mandated premiums on drivers across America (which is exactly what insurance companies will continue to demand and exactly what they will get).
You seem to be operating under the assumption that in 2024, insurance companies are going "shit, what will this industry look like in 2070?" rather than thinking "hmmmm what can we be doing in the next few years to position ourselves to make the 2030s are the most profitable decade we've ever seen?" That's rill retarded, sir.
Also, you sound like some sort of autistic libertarian retard or something with this "If insurance rates rise too much then people will stop driving, it's a balancing act!" lmao no they won't, if insurance rates 10x'd tomorrow most people would simply stop buying insurance and start driving uninsured (even if it was illegal to do so). Imagine being so naive or out of touch that you think otherwise. Most people in this country need to drive in order to go to work, go to the store, take their kids to soccer practice or the dentist, etc. Short of the apocalypse happening, there's simply no future timeline where they're going to stop doing those things, and they need to drive in order to get them done.

lol at your Yosemite Sam ass fuming because I pointed out how retarded your point is and your complete failure to refute my fundamental point that insurance companies won’t lobby to crater the demand in their industry.
No they won’t be able to keep premiums high as insurance demand craters because other companies can make a buck undermining those high premiums and they will lose all their business.
Your post is a long red herring. I never said people would stop driving or everyone would adopt FSD (which I think is great btw.

You're literally too retarded to merit a further response.
"Ackkkkshually, insurance companies WANT to pay out on policies -- trust me, I know these things!!!"

Yeah, insurance companies absolutely hate it when they get to rake in premium dollars without paying any claims. They much prefer to have to spend all their premiums on claims rather than fat bonuses for themselves.

Oh dear God. I love it when absolute morons accuse others of stupidity. Yeah, insurance companies absolutely hate it when their customers get in fewer accidents and they have to pay fewer claims. That's why my rates went up so much when I downloaded my insurance company's app so that they can evaluate whether or not I'm driving safely.
To be extremely charitable, maybe some day there will be a utopia where every car is self-driving and accidents become rare or non-existent. But if that happens at all, it is decades away in the absolute best case scenario. Every insurance executive in the country will be long retired before that becomes an issue. In the meantime, these executives will always be happier paying fewer claims. I'm pretty sure it's only a matter of time before you can get insurance discounts by showing that you have an advanced driver assistance system in your car.

To be fair,
People who are like "yeah I tried cruise control in a Kia a few years back, it was whatever so fuck it I don't need Tesla's FSD" are so retarded on this issue that they genuinely don't even merit a response. It's like arguing with a blind person about whether [X] is a good color combination. Why bother?
Haha yeah I remember listening to a radio program one time back in the 1940s and it was kinda meh, so fuck "the Internet."
