I don’t think anyone, including David, would argue that in order to achieve this streak, you have to let the car make safe mistakes, and you have to massively inconvenience yourself/sit through things consumers will never sit through.
But that’s not really the point. I don’t think David is trying to use this to make an argument that FSD is fully autonomous and anyone can do what he has done/would even want to.
What it does do though is show that the vehicle can safely operate itself for many thousands of miles, and that almost every remaining issue that would have the average person disengage isn’t safety related. It’s definitely a strong statement for how safe FSD has become.
But yeah, you can’t get to 25,000 miles or probably even 5,000 without multiple moments of major inconvenience. The product isn’t there yet for this sort of thing to be common, but it’s profound that it’s even possible at all today
