    I still don't see how you can make a judgement about a system from a video of it being used improperly.

    The upcoming Polestar model will have a driver camera.
    From the CR article, "The Mercedes and Lexus/Toyota ACC systems scored top marks for their well-tuned following-gap distance settings. Our testers found the closest setting to be comfortable in high-traffic areas while still not allowing so much space that other vehicles would continually cut in ahead. We also like that the Mercedes and Subaru ACC systems have settings that allow the driver to adjust the deceleration and acceleration force with which it slows down and speeds back up for traffic ahead."

    That's where they edged out Autopilot. CR hadn't tested FSD for that publication. There is at least one thread here about those results where someone posted more details on the scoring.

    No FSD for you then?

    no, i opted out of super cruise. i'm too old and don't drive anywhere. as i said, one pedal driving already has me slow on the brake. using the regen paddle isn't helping either, i keep trying to pull it on mrs b's hycam, and wind up slamming the brake pedal a little late.
    my brother just leased a model y and is amazed at how well fsd works. and we have several acquaintances who also love it.
    i have yet to run into anyone who thinks it can completely drive the car without their paying attention and occasional input, but i also don't know any drunk drivers, it's a small sample.

    Because the Volvo behaved exactly like that and when you're accustom to Autopilot, it was a useless feature. I was glad to be back behind the wheel of my Model 3.

    Finally, they've stopped "resisting" :p
