FSD occasionally requesting driver to take over in genuinely difficult situations would be completely fine.

The videos in the Twitter feed are nothing like that. The car makes potentially catastrophic blunders, like driving straight into a concrete pylon, with 100% confidence.

I'm with you on the second point strongly.

But IMHO it's not full self driving if it requests the driver to take over even once.

If there's an insane storm or something then it's ok for FSD to know it should disable and then you have to drive 100% control. The middle ground is more like assisted driving which doesn't seem safe according to most HN comments.

You know these are extract from multiple hours of video and it's a closed beta?

It doesn't matter how many hours of video there is, all it takes is hitting one pole to dramatically impact your life or the lives of others.

As a pedestrian and someone who shares the road with drivers who use FSD, I don't get to opt out of this "closed beta", and I certainly wouldn't care about how many hours of quality content it has on YouTube if it caused a car to hit me or drove me off the road.

a closed beta of a system that is "orders of magnitude better, completely reimagined"... videos like this certainly don't seem to show revolutionary growth in the usability of FSD, indeed "more of the same".
