Would at least like to use it for stop and go traffic, which is about the only thing I trust FSD for.

Just pull over if you have things to text that can’t wait

Actually just wait. Pulling over on a busy road creates its own hazards.

Depends on the type of stop and go driving. Crawling along at 15mph, sure. But the most dangerous driving scenario - whether human or machine is the driver - is a scenario with large variations in speed between vehicles and also limited visibility.

For example suddenly encountering a traffic jam that starts around a blind corner.

Dangerous for some humans. If a self-driving system is taking a blind corner, I would expect it to be approaching it at a more appropriate speed.

That's also the most tiresome part of driving and has the least risk due to low speeds. Easy win for FSD. But for all other cases it becomes a complicated ethical question.
