Key Insights
- 🐎 The Tesla FSD behaves like a "nervous horse" when making left turns, causing uncertainty and hesitation.
- 🌳 I want to see if the vehicle actually sees those tree branches and intentionally goes around them.
- 🚦 "It's better to be in the suicide lane illegally than it is to take a chance of getting hit."
