Just on a lark, I tried the new autopark yesterday. I was in no particular hurry, our deck has newly painted and well marked spaces, and there were no other cars around. I pulled forward and selected a space just behind me that it could back into in one simple turning motion. It couldn’t have...

“Passed them by” in terms of providing driving automation - specifically hands-off, eyes-off driving automation. No one said anything about “all US streets,” and that seems like a strange metric to use for success, IMO, because all streets automation would really only be required for robotaxis...

Also it doesn’t seem to be able to distinguish minimum speed limit signs from regular speed limit signs (although they are annoyingly similar). As much as I hate to say it I think the higher resolution cameras of HW4 may make this a lot better, but I will never get to see that because I’ll...

Who knows? Well, certainly not Elon. He’s made that abundantly clear over the last 9 years.

I too rarely have the same FSD experience as the YouTube posters. I wonder why that is…?

I know we always say "never say never," but at this point I am comfortable in saying there will never be a Tesla Robotaxi - not with anything resembling their current FSD software and hardware. And, yes, I have it and drive using it frequently (almost daily).

Funny, I feel just the opposite. I was very excited with 12.3. First time like I really felt like the system had gained significant ground. But while I just thought it was a name change (FSD Supervised vs FSD Beta), 12.3.3 brought back many of my 11.4 daemons: unexplained slow downs, really...

It can also write convincing legal briefs, but will completely make up citations.

It’s really good at transcoding and explaining the transcoding line by line.

I hate to say never, but i certainly can’t think of an instance right this minute. Definitely not LDA while on FSD. I am thinking it is a new possibility due to the change in the architecture, like the respective neural nets are running in parallel now instead of all part of the same stack. I...

+1 for how disquieting it is that Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Avoidance are so active while 12.3 is driving. I’ve had more EAB and LDA incidents on the few short drives on 12.3 than I’ve had in the previous almost 6 years of driving my car. At least I feel like these things are being...

Passing behavior v11.4 is really, really bad. When it wants to pass, it will opportunistically and aggressively move into a small gap in the left lane to go around the slower vehicle. But then the old following distance logic takes over and the car backs way off the car in front of it. You can...

I am definitely experiencing the close to curb issues. Not any rim rash yet, but the tire has gone off the road surface and into gutters on turns. I was thinking I needed to recalibrate my cameras. However, overall it’s one of the most significant upgrades to FSD I have seen in over a year and...

100%. L3 on limited access highways is all I’ve ever wanted from FSD. The rest is just parlor tricks with no real utility. But, until some new leadership comes along without naive visions of robotaxis dancing in their heads I’m afraid we won’t see a refocusing on a usable system. And NoA will...
