for the second time. We were told that we would get access restored with a future software update. Tesla never described specifically what a failure was, and sometimes we would seem to get two or three strikes at the same time. According to Tesla, we are among the ~285,000 who have paid from $5,000 to $15,000 for Full Self Driving . We are supposedly among the ~160,000 who have passed the safety test and are actively using the system.
Tesla has been using the “torque the wheel test” now since the earliest days of Automatic Lane Assist. It determines if your hands are on the wheel, but it doesn’t determine if you are paying attention to the road. For at least 4 years now, Tesla has installed a camera above the rear view mirror in its cars which can determine if the driver’s face, maybe even eyes, are directed toward the road while using the FSD software.
My wife and I are going to try very hard to retain access longer this time! In the past, we have obsessively used FSD whenever possible. This time, we are going to turn off FSD except when we can give total concentration to keeping access to the software It has been reported that Tesla is being sued as a result of deaths that occurred when FSD was active. I have been driving my Model 3 safely now for over three years and almost 90,000 miles, using FSD obsessively for the 6 months I’ve had it. I used Automatic Lane Assist obsessively the rest of the time. I follow the warnings in the FSD and ALA instructions, and I am prepared to intervene instantly whenever the automatic software fails.
