Maybe the FSD starts taking more risks too...because the Tesla Overlords decide
they like it that way and they want to test their new more edgy aggressive
modes. Maybe tailgating, or speeding, or passing....all because FSD is just
so much "better" than humans.

FSD is technically impressive; but I wonder about the unintended consequences.
- When people started using calculators, they could no longer do math in their
heads.
- When they started depending on spell checkers, they stopped learning how to
spell.
- When they depend on their cellphone for everything, they can't remember phone
numbers or addresses.
- Features like antilock brakes and traction control already mean that most
people can't drive in poor traction conditions without it.
So, will all the features of FSD wind up "un-teaching" people how to drive?
I.e. as the cars gets better, will the drivers get *worse*?
