Jesus that's so weird. Scary. I mean, I'm sure you're right and it's probably a lot safer (judging from the drivers you see everyday) than human drivers. Still. It feels so weird even just watching. Did you have to fight back the urge to hold the wheel? I think I'd keep reaching for it every 2 seconds.
You're right, the world is definitely changing. At a very rapid pace. Guess only time will tell how all this ends up.
Gloom and doom aside, it looks hella fun. Enjoy your month! :D

Weird is a great way to describe it! It's like the ghost of a chauffeur driving your car. : ) The system itself forces you to take hold of the wheel every so often. In the video you'll see the screen flashing blue and that's the warning to touch the steering wheel and if you don't, the self driving feature turns off automatically. It also senses if you're not watching the road or if you're looking at your phone and it'll shut down in those instances too. This "babysitting" feature will end once FSD is perfected. I was surprised by how quickly I got comfortable with it. I've taken four separate drives so far.
I'm a tech-geek so this preview has been a lot of fun for me but, honestly, the car is much more fun if you drive it yourself. I'll never get used to the acceleration. 0-60 in 4.2 sec feels like flying a fighter jet. My last car was a Prius, so there is that. Lol. Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful week.
