I've seen it on multiple forums. Just like a broken record.

The camera is clean. I can see that on the dashcam records. And if the system is so fragile that a bit of dust kills it, then it's not good.
The issue with the red-hands-of-death is caused by the forward collision warning, the road there curves and slopes up, so the car gets confused and interprets the car in front as if it's on a collision course. This happens even during manual driving, btw. False FCWs are a common problem, if you check forums, and people are annoyed because it affects their safety score used for Tesla Insurance.
FSD got better than it was 4 years ago. But it's still _nowhere_ near Waymo. You absolutely can not just sit back and snooze while it's driving, you constantly have to be on guard.

You won't see it unless you shine light into it.

It's not dust, it's fog on the inside of the windshield from offgassing.

Of fair enough. I've never seen this, and I used FSD (14) all through the Appalachian mountains.

Fair enough, but FSD is still years ahead of any other system you can buy as a consumer.
