Saw a Tesla swerve into the bike lane yesterday while driver was on the phone.

Driver probably felt safe and that everything was in order. The cyclists not so much.

Point is it's a matter of perspective. How many around you have to accommodate?



I own a Tesla and a motorcycle. I'll often ride while my wife is driving the car, and FSD is far more respectful of me than most cars.


Human drivers use the bike lane, shoulder or oncoming traffic lane to drive around cars turning left and to avoid hazards all the time. It’s not unsafe if you check to make sure no one is there and my Tesla detects people around me basically as well as a human can.

On the other hand, FSD won’t try to pass me on winding mountain roads with a double yellow line.
