What owners wrote

Tesla Full Self Driving FSD is too dangerous for public street experiments. The video evidence is not from my vehicle but mine does not recognize many obstacles that increase the risks of collisions: The YouTube video shows the automatic system failed to recognize the green bollard and even with the quick intervention from a claimed well experienced FSD driver, the car collided with the green bollard.

February 2022 Crash

Touch screen extremely sluggish, sometimes unresponsive during driving trip, losing many active safety features such as forward collision warning, side collision warning, rear view camera, active navigation leading to distractions from trying to use alternative hand phone navigation. Lost speedometer function while driving as shown on image below making driving unsafe. Image below showed driving on a city street while both control screens center and driver side became frozen leading to panicking distractions.
