Then Elon e-mailed to the Tesla staff:
Being a Tesla owner since March 26, 2019 and bought Full Self Driving October 2019, I agree with Elon.
As for O'Dowd, if he expressed the same concerns. and opinions about the other L2 driving systems, he would have some credibility . . . but he has not and thus proved himself to be a humbug.

Human supervised FSD v12 is still far less safe than driving manually, it drives like a drunk teenager and can't pass a DMV driving test, which even the worst 16yr old driver passed.
Then Elon e-mailed to the Tesla staff:
The CEO wrote in an email to employees:
Going forward, it is mandatory in North America to install and activate FSD V12.3.1 and take customers on a short test ride before handing over the car.
Musk says that he wants more people to realize “FSD actually works”:
Almost no one actually realizes how well (supervised) FSD actually works.
Being a Tesla owner since March 26, 2019 and bought Full Self Driving October 2019, I agree with Elon.
As for O'Dowd, if he expressed the same concerns. and opinions about the other L2 driving systems, he would have some credibility . . . but he has not and thus proved himself to be a humbug.
