I didn't say FSD was an LLM. My comment was implementation agnostic. My point was that drivers are less forgiving to what programmatically seems like a small error than someone who is trying to generate an essay.
Maybe so, but from where I stand the primary goal should be "Better driver than a human" which is an incredibly low bar. We are already quite a ways past that and its getting better with every release. FSD is today nearly 100% safe, most of the complaints now are around how it drives like a robot by obeying traffic laws, which confuses a lot of other drivers. There are still some edge cases yet to be ironed out extensively like really heavy rain, some icy conditions and snow. People are also terrible drivers in those conditions so its not a surprise. It will get there.
Oh man I definitely agree here. I'm a huge fan of that "better than a human" threshold. Roads are already very dangerous. One of the wildest things I've noticed is highway driving at night in very rainy conditions, sometimes visibility will be near zero. Yet a lot of drivers are zooming around pretending they can see. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone when it happens.
