FSD Experience: Humans Don't Need to Drive Anymore, Law is the Barrier
surmenok · x · 2026-08-31
The author shares a personal anecdote about using FSD: driving to pick someone up without touching the wheel, just sitting in the driver's seat listening to podcasts. The argument is that FSD is good enough to handle the trip, and the only barriers are law and custom—humans don't need to drive anymore. The author imagines a future where you can summon a 'comfy box with wheels' (running AI) at any time to pick you up or drop you off, fundamentally changing daily life.
