Tesla nerds, I have elderly family that is looking at getting a Tesla with FSD. They really shouldn't be driving anymore and we are trying to figure out if supervised FSD would work for them. They'd like this sooner than later given that it could be a couple years before fully unsupervised FSD cars and cybercabs are sold to the public.
Anyone gone FSD route with elderly family?
My sister's FIL is in his 90s and went this route. Retired cardiologist, super healthy for a 90+ year old. Just getting to the point where reaction time and vision are an issue. I think it all depends upon the specific person.
My opinion is FSD is ready for this. If an accident happens, the rest of the family should make sure that there aren't ways for a lawyer to file a claim for negligent entrustment. I have used NE to sue family members or others who let a person who should not be driving have access to a car. (Habitual drunks, elderly, etc.) Make sure the vehicle is in their name only. You want to supervise as a family member, but don't have any type of paper trail, etc. that a lawyer would use to pin it to you. You might want to talk to a lawyer beforehand to iron all this out. Guardianship, etc.
I am a Georgia lawyer, and this is not intended to be advice - hire a local guy/gal.
I sued a family that had the keys out on a hook in their home and they had an adult kid living with them who was a really bad habitual drunk/drug user, even though they "didn't allow him" to drive. It was only to get to their insurance, not personal assets. He killed a father of 4, deacon at our church.
