I got a speeding ticket this weekend while using Tesla’s Full Self-Driving. The car was driving itself in Standard mode on FSD when it took me up to 78 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.

 

A police officer coming the other way clocked me on radar and pulled me over on the spot. I’d turned FSD on less than two minutes earlier.

Here’s the part that stings. I was showing FSD off to two people who had never experienced it. First time in the car with it. I activated the system, and within a couple of minutes we were sitting on the shoulder with flashing lights behind us.
