Current FSD is significantly better. I wonder if one day FSD vs Waymo will be like Apple Car play vs Android Auto in different vehicles.
The beta version of EAP or FSD? in a Model Y rental I drove two years ago in SF tried to do a 90 degree turn at 80mph. Holy hell that was scary. I overrode, got back into the non-turning lane on the freeway and then manually circled back.
A friend asked if it was autopilot and not EAP creating a difference in expectation and the vehicle was just changing lanes and I had to make the turn myself. But that doesn't make sense. IIRC, basic autopilot doesn't change lanes. But if I had to turn myself, then why didn't the vehicle slow down/stop once it changed into and got to the end of the turn lane as per the map instructions? There was also some tactile feedback on the steering wheel making me believe the vehicle was going to attempt a turn. If it wasn't going to turn, I was potentially going to go 80mph into oncoming traffic if I didn't override, so I'm assuming it would have attempted to turn. For the rest of the trip, I used the FSD like a better cruise control only. I recall looking at the tech specs on the screen and it said the autopilot driving software was a beta.
It also kept complaining I wasn't putting in enough input in a straight line (ie: yanking the steering wheel to prove I'm engaged) and would then turn off FSD until the next time I restarted the vehicle after I failed to yank the steering wheel hard enough in time 2-3x total.
As much as I think there are quite a few things in Teslas that are kinda neat, I also don't really like some of the way certain things are labeled/marketed. Autonomous driving wise, I can't wait to dump my wife into one of those things. I myself might use it occasionally, but I think I'll drive "old school" for as long as I can.
