Surely this is sarcasm. You'd prefer a drunk person getting into a Tesla with FSD vs. an attentive and alert person driving (anything else)? I'm sorry but being drunk and getting behind the wheel, that's an automatic fail. I don't care what you're driving. You shouldn't be behind that wheel in a position of responsibility when you are under the influence. I include 'thinking the Tesla will just handle it' as under the influence.



My point is not that a drunk "should" drive, even with FSD. It's that clearly they do. I know someone personally who drives under the influence frequently despite the legal and material risks. No one thinks this is a good idea.

I would absolutely prefer any driver using FSD, but especially one physically and mentally inhibited by drugs or alcohol.

I've commented on this before, but: no one using FSD for even a short period of time is "under the influence" of the branding. The lived experience of the technology is that is amazing and useful, even if it flawed. YMMV
