[Update] FSD v14.2.2.4 Almost Hit a Girl Crossing Street (No it didn’t - Don’t rest your foot on accelerator)

No, the impatient human driver is.

Yes, but to be fair, the point is that NHTSA's insistence on unnecessary and unnatural "full NHTSA stop" is the initial trigger for unsafe human intervention caused by impatience. This is a temptation that smart FSD Supervised drivers need to resist. Had NHTSA not been insistent on sub-optimal behavior, the temptation would not exist.

NHTSA is supposed to make the road statistically safer, not less safe. This is why government should be limited to absolutely necessary functions in a thriving civilization and agencies should use restraint, without compelling reasons why action is necessary. Sometimes the people being regulated know more about it than government bureaucrats sitting at a desk. A smart bureaucrat knows when action is needed but they are becoming more rare.

Most of us don’t use the handle “HaulingAss”. You may be biased.

I'm not thrilled by the "NHTSA Stop", but if the extra 2-3 seconds will make me late, then I should have departed sooner.

If anyone feels this is really a safety issue, NHTSA will happily accept your input.
