On December 15th I left to drive from Los Angeles to near Philadelphia. Got back yesterday, after a total of 6,392 miles in the Model S Plaid with #FSDBeta.

Drove more than 99% autonomously, and I've some not great @Tesla Autopilot + FSD thoughts and experiences to share... 🧵 Let me start off by saying I recorded most of the trip in 4k@60fps from a GoPro inside of the car, and so I _should_ have footage of many of the things I’m complaining about here. Might be hard to find it though, amongst all the footage.

@jhscott @mipsytipsy @WeAreNetflix I think the first piece is that we don't own the services that contribute to our KPIs, nor do we contribute directly to them. We are watching higher-level metrics to gauge the overall success of the system. From that high level we're also looking for patterns. @jhscott @mipsytipsy @WeAreNetflix Error Budgets and SLOs are outside the direct purview of our team. We see those as contractual agreements between services, and the burden is on the owners of the services to define those contracts and monitor their own KPIs.
