If FSD has already proven itself untrustworthy why on earth would you still use it? You’re lucky it was just a cone you hit. The next time it could be a person.
Why anyone is okay with beta testing these things with live non consenting humans around is just baffling.
Because the immediate downside risk is small and the upside benefit is incredible. Even with very low confidence in self driving vehicle development, eg. 1% chance of success in 10 years, the upside is overwhelmingly net positive in terms of lives saved, on top of all the other benefits of automating transport like freeing almost 10% of human drivers' waking hours in the US. If the risk taken was anywhere close to what it would have to be to scale down at the cost of slower deployment for safety reasons, we would know.
Because until the legalese says otherwise, I'm still responsible for driving the car, even if FSD is doing the driving, and it is still really good at driving super long stretches of highway for you
