    @SPadival The "rolling, non-zero stop", (like 3 mph), will cost $75 in Rockville, Maryland, USA, automatic cameras as it is _not_ a full stop from personal experience although mine happened last month due to driver error _NOT_ FSD(S).

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    So I can essentially navigate by using just "chill mode" and turn signals and just "bop around the neighborhood", then "hit nav to home" we have 400 miles of canals and lots of dead ends thanks for response
