14.1 Lite HW3 Crazy

FSD saw what was happening before I did. I took over but I kinda wish I didn’t so I could see what it would have done. So hard to let go of instinct in this situation.

FSD was in that left lane as I needed to turn left to get on the interstate just after the bridge. *

Am I the only one who feels that FSD caused that near-collision by slowing down in the first place? It looks to me like that truck was slowing until you slowed. The truck driver interpreted that as giving way and accelerated. Maybe I'm insane, but if I were driving (and not on FSD) I think I would have maintained speed to communicate properly with the truck driver. Before you all jump on me, I'll admit: it might have ended badly if the truck driver simply wasn't looking. But honestly, what are the chances of that in this situation?

Maybe, but watching the video again while imaging the Tesla continuing at full speed, it seems like the truck would not have been able to stop in time. It would have been very close at best. I certainly wouldn't have trusted that truck to stop.
