2000 km without a steering wheel: heavy rain interrupted the Tesla experiment

A Tesla owner from the US embarked on a 19-hour, 2000 km journey with the FSD semi-autonomous driving system activated. The system handled most of the route, but due to heavy rain, the driver had to take control. The experiment was described as successful, with the driver not feeling overly tired.

A Tesla owner from the US decided to test the capabilities of the FSD semi-autonomous driving system on a long trip along the East Coast. His goal was to cover about 1200 miles (nearly 2000 km) with minimal intervention. The experiment was expected to take around 19 hours. For most of the route, FSD handled the task, but when heavy rain began, the system struggled, and the driver had to take over. Despite this episode, the experiment's author was satisfied with the trip, comparing it to camping, and noted that he did not feel overly tired. However, he emphasized that he still had to pay close attention to the road. The article references a publication by Supercar Blondie.
