Not sure what the point is here? My point is that OP is not afraid of new tech per-se, but instead doesn't like where it is now and finds it dangerous.

I'm sure in time the technology will evolve and there won't be a new car on the road that wouldn't support FSD - just like it did with "horseless carriages". It will take some more time though and not all companies will be equally advanced. From what I've heard (from other sources too) I wouldn't want to be driven by a Tesla FSD at the moment.

> * horseless carriages won't avoid running into things whereas horses can see and instinctively won't run into a wall

Off topic, but interesting - if you think about it, we actually already had mostly-FSD in the 1890s. It just ate a whole lot of grass.

My point is that OP's post which espouses a common fear, even if it may be justified for some, is not really interesting. I don't want to gatekeep HN, but personally I do not enjoy this type of content.

A secondary implied point is that new technologies which may seem dangerous can still be safe and useful when used properly, such as driving horseless carriages carefully in the 1890s or using FSD (Supervised) with proper supervision as directed.

On the other hand, horseless carriages also don't spook.

I've yet to have my car buck because it didn't like how something looked or sounded.

But maybe FSD will bring back that "fun"!
