Gravity test drive

I agree that highway driving is what I mostly care about. It's very very rare that I do enough non-highway driving that I really want someone else to drive. That said, there is one scenario where handling the trip end-to-end would be valuable for me: driving me home after I've been drinking. I'd love to be able to have a few glasses of wine at a restaurant or a party and still be able to get home without calling a taxi/rideshare. Of course, that last scenario means that any form of "supervised" autonomy is not helpful.

It's gonna be a while until that is true; please, please, don't trust FSD to do this either.

I changed my order from DD2 pro to premium after reading the discussions on Lucid software issues. Sounds like DD pro works well on Air?

If you had of asked me 12 months ago if DD Pro was worth it, I would’ve told you to save your money and just go with Premium. The last few updates to DD Pro have been huge improving on its smoothness and reliability. You can tell it’s getting very near to hands off eyes on which is coming this year. I’d definitely recommend people by DD Pro now for what you get today and how it will no doubt evolve in the future, it’s worth it now.

Lol, you have me there. That might be one occasion where FSD would be very handy.

Please do not use ChatGPT as a source of truth. AI does not understand what is the source of truth. It only knows how to sound convincing.

And even at that, it doesn't do a very good job.

Not to belabor Telsa's FSD offering, the area where they fail at assisted driving (IMO) is their use of cameras only. Cameras may be cost-effective for Tesla, but LiDAR systems like that offered in the DD2 Pro system, provide superior precision and reliability in certain conditions, like rain and/or snow. My son-in-law and a friend both own Tesla's and they have experienced issues using FSD in heavy rain.
