Bill From Curious Cars Tests the Tesla Model X and Shits His Pants
Not so much the car but the autonomous driving mode, which, apparently, doesn't work all that well.
Interestingly, I have level 3 autonomous drive with my new '23 Santa Fe. It combines lane-keep assist with adaptive cruise control. Both work well on their own, although the lane-keep assist tends to bias to the left too much. Together, the effect is really creepy. It works, but it's still very weird. From internet reviews, apparently Hyundai's self-driving is one of the best on the road, but I still can't use it for very long, And, I had a very similar system on my 2020 Sonata Limited, with the same feeling.
If you're piloting a 3300 pound vehicle down the road (on, in the Santa Fe's case, a two ton vehicle), then turn off you gizmos and do it yourself. If I encounter a hundred-mile straightaway, then I'll try it again.
