? The article makes it clear the car was in FSD mode, but he passed out and was pressing the accelerator pedal
He also Google searched how to make the fsd more aggressive. All we can do is keep speculating in this thread.
I don't have any experience with FSD specifically, but I used to have a Model 3 with Enhanced Autopilot before I traded in that Nazimobile.
In traffic, Autopilot would definitely leave more space and act "safer" than most other drivers on the road around me. Regularly resulting in people cutting me off, squeezing into spaces they shouldn't be, etc.
Trying to figure out how to make the car act more like the other traffic is something nearly every Tesla driver has looked into at some point.
FSD has modes you can set. Slow, chill, hurry, and manic, or something like that. You can also tune what each one does, like 5 under limit for chill, five over for manic, etc. Along with all the auto cruise distance etc. settings.
