Watching this video I really had no idea how bad it was. My opinion is that we will never have full self driving without infrastructure updates; basically putting the cars on rails and forbidding non-self-driving cars and pedestrians. Even then it's dicey.
At least part of the reason is that a self-driving car can never have skin in the game. So if you want to cut off a self-driving car, go for it! If there's a busy exit and you want to cut in line, find the FSD and go in front -- with a real driver there's a chance, however small, that they would play chicken, but an FSD never will. If you want to pass a FSD and there's not enough room, just do it anyway.
Even worse will be when FSDs learn these behaviors by observing them and use them on other FSDs, and then you have a race to the bottom.

I'm not sure. Maybe it's my anxiety speaking but that sounds pretty dangerous, at least over time. An autonomous car may not play chicken but it can still make mistakes, or be unable to brake in time. There's also no way to know that a car is being autonomously driven since, currently, someone has to have their hands on the wheel.
How would you know it's not just a Tesla, but a Tesla under FSD? Those are 2 totally different things. I'd like to see big, bright lights that are enabled when FSD is engaged that alerts other drivers to the fact. Similar to Student Driver type of signs. Essentially, since FSD is still beta, isn't it technically still learning meaning "student" as well?
