2023-09-11 Rob Maurer Talks Tesla FSD, Elon

Starting at 9:12, Rob talks about what he considers a problem: FSD not acting like real humans – for example rolling stops. He says having FSD come to a complete stop is a problem because humans are not expecting this, causing annoyance.

But I see it from another perspective. If FSD emulates human driving, then it will, as a matter of fact, also make the same human mistakes, leading to more than annoyance for other drivers, and possibly leading to accidents. I think it will be necessary for FSD to not emulate human driving such as rolling stops in order to maintain a higher degree of safety than humans.

Another example is tailgating. Humans tend to tailgate when behind a slower car, putting them in a highly vulnerable point where they could have a rear-end collision if something unexpected happens. So it would be forbidden for FSD to put itself into the tailgating zone.
