For the average person to reassume the cognitive load of driving and awareness of what’s around then moving at highway speeds? I don’t think 40 seconds is a stretch at all.
Also, the smug self-assurance of a Tesla owner does little more than reveal just why people feel the way they do about this kind of person. So certain in the technology and other Tesla owners that concerns over the bicycle rider or the pedestrian become little more than background noise.

There’s the disconnect.
You’re starting cold. Like, you just woke up from a nap, to find you’re on the highway and have to take over. Then maybe it takes 20-40 seconds.
That’s not the case for a Tesla driver. The driver is required (and it’s enforced by attention monitoring) to stay situationally engaged.
Serious question- have you ever actually USED FSD? In a five minute test drive, or ideally for a long car trip? I believe that you are speaking from a position of ignorance, IE you are speaking factually about something you aren’t familiar with the facts of.
The VERY FIRST TIME I drove a Tesla, I turned Autopilot (that’s what there was back then) on and off several times in the space of a drive. There was no 40 second anything.
What I find interesting is this is something that many people can actually validate themselves, but won’t. It’s one thing to talk about global politics and have a position and be undeterred from it with no real way to concretely get an answer on something, or maybe something that’s unobtainable to them, or would cost a lot of money to verify, but there are numerous L2 systems out there today that anyone can go test drive on the highway and find out for themselves, but many won’t even do that.
The only real excuse would be that you’re too young to test drive a vehicle. Other than that, you should be able to at least have an experienced personal opinion on their usage if you wanted to, like that other person who replied to you and said they didn’t like the older version.
Sure and you have no reason to lie to yourself about the reality of your purchase. Why can no one can devise a well run study to split the difference? Oh well, guess we’ll just have to stick to our base assumptions.
Or…hear me out here… like parent commenter said, you can go test drive any vehicle with a good L2 system, take it on the highway, turn it on, PAY ATTENTION AND KEEP HANDS ON THE WHEEL, and then take over and see it’s not 40s.

You really have no idea what your talking about thinking it takes 40s.
Parent comment described it accurately.

That’s 1.11km going 100km/h on the highway.
