Review of @Tesla FSD (Supervised) in the WSJ: "Driving has always felt like a chore to me. The first time I let the vehicle (Model Y) take control, something shifted. As the car guided itself through traffic, I felt tension melt away. A few days before the federal EV tax credit expired in September, I traded in my 7.5 year-old Model 3 for a Model Y with FSD. For someone like me, who likes to stay in control, surrender has never come easily. Yet here I was, cruising through traffic in quiet surrender to the car’s code and sensors. It felt like liberation. And now I have something better than a chauffeur. My car never tires, panics or wavers; it doesn’t jolt at brake lights or grumble at traffic jams. It simply drives, with quiet confidence and near-perfect composure. People often worry that technology makes us lazy. Maybe it does. But in my case, it has done something subtler: It taught me to trust in the rhythm of the ride. It’s a small miracle I never expected from a car."
