it's never doing anything so outrageous people cannot react.

The issue is you never really know what it's going to do until it does it. If you disengage it before it does something that would cause harm, you don't know if it was actually going to, either. Right now FSD isn't good enough that you will get complacent about using it, but there will be a point where people are and they end up getting into accidents because of it.

Why can't we? It's time spent that has to be accounted for somewhere. 10 minutes less that I get to spend at home once or twice a week. If I have to fill up on my way to work, I'll end up getting to work late if I don't plan for it and leave early. Most people don't really take as many long trips in a year as they think they do.

To be fair, a parachute isn't subject to the placebo effect. As an example, you can't be sure that the backpack actually contains a parachute, or if it's just filled with dirty laundry just by glancing at it. Just thinking that your pack is filled with a properly packed chute isn't going to make you hit the ground any softer in the event that you get knocked unconscious on your fall down and the automatic deploy operates but there is no chute.
