A while back, Tesla gave me free FSD for a month and so I tried it out. It drove me to work just fine, and I was impressed.

Then, on the way home it drove me home on the wrong side of the street and I had to take over. Such a silly mistake.

Similar to what you said; from there on out, it was more trouble than it's worth because you can't let your guard down.



That was exactly my experience with the free trial. I figure if I'm going to have to pay thousands of dollars to still have to pay full attention when I drive, I might as well keep the money and drive the car.

FWIW: My 2026 Huyndai's driver assistance is better than my old 2018 Tesla Model 3's enhanced autopilot.


2026 hyundai driver assist is ok but the lines have to be very clearly defined on the road and won't do much under 25 mph


Same here. Car took a left turn through an orange filter light, detected oncoming traffic and decided 'nope' to the turn and just ... stopped ... in the oncoming lanes.

I find it less cognitive load to drive it myself. It's easier to predict what other vehicles will do than my own. Boo.

I have sympathy with the challenges as I worked in the field.


Was this a Tesla with HW3 or HW4? Also, was it in the US or outside the US?
