"12 miles between potentially catastrophic interventions" sounds like an exaggeration or an unsupportable claim from the Interweb.

I used it last night for a 100+ mile trip between San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz without incident.

When it kicks out of FSD it's usually because I do something like exceed 85 mph or force a lane change.

It's pretty reliable and changes lanes on it's own, keeps to the right, slows down as needed and makes the required turns from required lanes. I'm on a 30-day trial, the second one offered. They get to collect more data as a result. I don't like using it around the neighborhood but it's nice on long trips. I am not interested in buying FSD or paying the $100/month subscription but might if I drove a lot more than I do.
