Often "cannot". FSD will refuse to engage in those situations, often.

But Elon will trot out "so much safer", omitting "for some conditions, on some road, in some weather", versus "all drivers, all conditions, all road, all weather".

"You see, we win the vast majority of games when we just don't play the ones we thought we might lose!"

this is not true. It will basically engage any time your foot is not on the brake, the steering angle isn't beyond some threshold, and path prediction is relatively stable (which is approximately all the time). The main place it will refuse to engage is if you're in the middle of an intersection and it's ambiguous where your destination lane is.
