"It is not so, and the gulf between people who want it and those who don't is huge. The major conclusion of the Electric Vehicle Intelligence Report's "Self-Driving Cars and Electric Vehicles: U.S. Market Insights & Analysis" research paper was this: "Nearly half of consumers believe FSD technology should be illegal, and consumers say FSD features make them less likely to buy a Tesla by a two-to-one margin.""
"There have been a few cases when Tesla drivers have been in crashes while their cars were in FSD, but that number is quite small. Yet, the accidents have drawn several lawsuits. About a third of the 8,000 people who were questioned said the self-driving feature would make them less likely to buy a Tesla. Only 14% said it would make them more likely. (In each case, these figures included "unlikely" and "somewhat less likely" added together.)"
A survey of 8,000 potential Tesla buyers found only a small fraction want a self-driving car. Nearly half of consumers believe FSD technology should be illegal, and consumers say FSD features make them less likely to buy a Tesla by a two-to-one margin. About a third said FSD would make them less likely to buy a Tesla, while 14% said it would make them more likely. A few crashes while cars were in FSD have led to lawsuits. Tesla brand perception fell to −15 in August from −7 in April. European sales fell 40% in July and competitors such as BYD sold many more vehicles.
