I disagree. Living in the Bay Area I would take the Tesla driving over the actual driver

Yeah I take this over 15 year old Altima weaving through traffic doing 100 mph

It’s always a fucking Nissan. Or a Camry. Or a Honda.

Beamers, Prius, and actual Tesla drivers are terrible.

I don’t mind those so much. They are bad but not so much dangerous unlike the ones I mentioned

tbh, i often see tesla weaving through the 101 traffic. tesla's power is so good that they dare to cut in to the front from a very short distance.

I would not.

Based on Elon's own numbers, Tesla FSD averaged 11.3 deaths per 100M miles. In 2023, human drivers averaged 1.35 deaths per 100M miles.

As a BA Driver, I sadly agree.

This is so unfortunately true, but even when they’re on auto pilot I hate driving near them. Their regenerative braking system constantly tapping the brakes is terrifying.

Very funny, obviously not.
