The fact that this FSD mode comes with “more frequent lane changes” means it isn’t just keeping up with traffic. It’s designed to go faster than traffic. Stop making herr Elon’s points for him.
I hear this argument a lot and I’m not disagreeing per se. But we should be clear. It can be dangerous for 1 out of 10 cars to be driving 55 instead of 75. But it would be safer by far if all 10 cars drove 55.
It can depend on your locale. I live in a country where outside of highways, posted speed limits are a joke. The cops would probably honk you if you were going the posted limit on a non highway road.
“that breaks speed limits” can be ok.
I have seen a number of US interstates posted at 55mph, when traffic moves at 70-80mph. Being stuck at 55mph on those interstates is dangerous.

They’re at that level for a reason. The problem is that most people are ignorant or give little consideration to human life.
Thank you for explaining my country’s specific traffic situation to me.
it’s not just a matter of safety, efficiency also plummets above 55mph for very little benefit.
You’re talking about the “95 percentile” rule, right?
Solid context that I hadn’t considered. Thanks.
