The reason I ask, is I’ve been seeing alot of news and cases of Tesla’s self driving acting up and being a point of contention. But back in 2016-17 my ex’s uncle and aunt got a Model X when they first dropped and they “auto-drove” us like 50 miles without any noticeable issue.

Was i just gambling my life or has the tech somehow gotten worse?

    well, to be fair, I’m pretty ardently apposed to self driving cars- i wouldn’t put my family in one even if it was better than humans.

    The reason being is that all it takes is one bug in one code and your entire family is fucked; and with the way corporations are now handling updates, I frankly don’t trust them to maintain it properly at all. (AKA forced updates, with shit-for-testing cloudstrike, for example; could have been prevented, but they just had to push that update globally, all at the same time, to everyone. imagine a malicious admin doing a terror attack by making all your cars crash. or some intern pushing the wrong code and suddenly your car is bricked. I’ll keep my dumb car, thank you very much.)
