Anyone who uses FSD on their Tesla would happily tell you it’s not even close to being safe yet. Hell if anything I’m MORE attentive when using the autopilot because it can be so sketch sometimes.

I drive 150-200 miles/day. I’m definitely zoned out for the most of it lol

Actually cars should be abolished for this very reason - humans can never be truly safe drivers, they always get bored and zone out.
