    A fair position.

    In the current system, you are still responsible for the vehicle, including a responsibility to take over if/before it does something stupid.
    So if you frame it as ‘driving is my responsibility, and this is a tool that helps me meet that responsibility’ I think it’s a positive.

    A LOT of people will, and do, and have, looked at FSD (and its predecessor systems like Autopilot) as ‘I don’t want/need to drive, I’ll let the machine do it (even if the machine isn’t safe)’. These are the kind of people who hung weights on their steering wheel so the car thought they were paying attention while they dozed off (that’s why the cabin cameras became a thing).
