You are responsible (Legally, contractually, morally) for supervising FSD today. If the car decided to stomp on the throttle you are expected to be ready to hit the brakes.

The whole point is that is somewhat of an unreasonable expectation but it’s what Tesla expects you to do today



> If the car decided to stomp on the throttle you are expected to be ready to hit the brakes.

Didn't Tesla have an issue a couple of years ago where pressing the brake did not disengage any throttle? i.e. if the car has a bug and puts throttle to 100% and you stand on the brake, the car should say "cut throttle to 0", but instead, you just had 100% throttle, 100% brake?


If it did, it wouldn’t matter. Brakes are required to be stronger than engines.


That makes no sense. Yes, they are. But brakes are going to be more reactive and performant with the throttle at 0 than 100.

You can't imagine that the stopping distances will be the same.


My example was clear about NOT about autonomous driving. Because the previous comment seems to imply for everything you are responsible
