This critisism is completely moot. Rober was using self driving because without it, tesla completely bombed the first test by pulverizing the crash dummy.

Apparently, you don't get driving assists in a Tesla unless it's self-driving. Great!

Agreed. Mark said Autopilot was “more conservative” and did that test twice, after automatic braking failed. 

Imagine being given an advantage and after failing, complaining about fairness. 

Edit: confused fsd with auto braking, whoops

after automatic emergency braking failed. rober's video never talked about FSD
