That is pretty cool. I’m thinking it was about 15 miles? Maybe a bit more, looks like most of the drive was around 30MPH. Thanks for explaining why the car was allowed (legally) to do this outside the geofenced Austin area, we were wondering which rules apply to such a drive. It is kinda strange that the rules are based on people INSIDE the car vs the car being on roadways with people inside other cars.
Now for my self centered reaction- great stuff, gimme a SFSD update please . Just got the 20.6 update for the Y but that’s a bug fix / security thing.

I figured it had to be some sort of loophole, because I did drive for Uber and Lyft for a short while a few years back. And one of the requirements was to have some sort of insurance that covers the occupants in the car in the event of a collision. Kind of cool that this is possible, and it would make me wonder if we are going to see that cross-country unsupervised FSD drive sometime soon because of this loophole.

It's cool, and it opens up to hub-and-spoke delivery where parking lots are still used but cars deliver by themselves - because all delivery centers I have been in require to reach by car anyway. A whole different car delivery experience anyway.
What's striking in all these FSD videos, though, is that the 10x speed doesn't allow understanding what really goes on. The car can be seen overtaken even by large transport trucks on the right - FSD going excessively slow or something else? The same goes for all FSD videos in Europe, announcing the novelty.

I'm not sure if you've seen the full drive video, which is essentially the whole drive with fewer cuts and slightly more camera angles. Here it is from the Tesla YouTube channel, in case you have not seen it. To me, it seems that the car was driving fine, and that the surrounding traffic was just driving really fast. Texas is known for having very fast highways where in some places the speed limit is 85 MPH, and sometimes you will find people going way over that, including some trucks. Either way, I would definitely prefer that the car would drive on the more cautious side, rather than have an accident on its way to me, especially if it is a new car I just bought.
