My Tesla tried to kill me today using Full Self Driving (Supervised)

Most of you in FABAC have traveled from the Northside towards the Westmorland Street bridge, let's say from Shoppers. We have this long onramp curving to meet the two lanes going south on the bridge. Watch the first video to see the view out the front. Full Self Driving is barreling along like nothing could happen. Then, just when the Tesla thought it would join the right lane, I slammed on the brakes—look at the traffic going by that it was planning to 'merge' with!!!!!. 
Now, look at the second video to see the camera that is looking back to the left—what you would see if you were looking back over your left shoulder. Did it plan to 'mate' with that white truck?!!! No one would have had a chance to avoid me because both lanes were busy. What a pileup it could have been!!!
Full Self Driving (Supervised) can be scary and needs to be constantly supervised. I just subscribed for a month to see how it might have improved since last year—waste of money. Although, it sure knows how to park in any situation.

Without ever experiencing it, it seems like I would be less relaxed and more alert with FSD on than with off.

There is much to be said for your observation. FSD is severely flawed.
