Tesla FSD Assessment Matrix

The most mature class. Still requires supervision at merges, emergency vehicles, and sudden slowdowns.

Boston suburbs and tight neighborhoods are largely usable. Construction and dual-parked streets still draw interventions.

Better than two years ago, still the scene class I watch with a foot hovering.

Generally cautious. Rare over-creep at crosswalks is the failure mode I still document.

Vision stack holds up. Poorly lit rural edges and glare remain the watch items.

Wet Boston winters are a real test. Heavy spray and fog still degrade confidence.

Temporary lanes and human traffic controllers are still a common reason to take over.

Improved recognition, inconsistent yield choreography. I still take these.

Useful in marked lots. Tight urban curb hunts are not a replacement for the driver.

Not my call to make as a product claim. As a daily supervisor: not yet, not here, not in this weather mix.
