Robotaxi is going to have a hard time competing with Uber for speed. Had to use it, and both drivers today were rolling through stops at 15, though the second was really good about driving exactly the limit around schools. FSD plus regen in general have “trained” me to slow down more at stops...

Now that my trial has ended, here’s what I’m hoping for in a future FSD: 1) Not knowing when the thing is going to change lanes is very stressful. Most of the other FSD behaviors don’t bother me that much as I can always just take over, but I find this alone is reason enough to just drive...

there are still a lot of dead zones in Canada so hopefully not slowing down too much. It’s nearly 2025, it should be possible to go just about anywhere by EV at this point.

Coming from a previous car that was off by nearly 10%, I was impressed when the Y said I was going 120 and gps indicated 119. That’s close enough for me!

A couple of notes from the morning drive today. 1) FSD does not GAF about obstructed visibility. The roads around here are in a grid with lots of parked cars. There are also a lot of a-holes that gun it across the road without checking for oncoming traffic. When I honk at them, they'll either...

Mine also biases too far to the right. I especially don't like it during right turns but also when there’s parked cars. Zero chance if someone opens their door or pops out. I don’t mind the accelerator overrides so much but it’s annoying that I can’t move the car so much as an inch with the...

I don’t think they would necessarily do this either. Maybe for regions but not for every toggle. There should be other ways to control it. Something like how you would prompt a LLM: « please keep the Gs down and try very hard not to change lanes, ok? ». There’d still be an increased test burden...

It’s funny but Tesla says the same thing for the Model Y and probably the other models too.

No books or screens but he is just susceptible… I once had to travel internationally with toddler puke all over myself and no change of clothes (I had for him, but I was the one that needed new clothes! 😵‍💫). He’s also puked in every car but never in the Tesla. It’s getting better as he gets...

Another interesting note, is that fsd does seem to depend on lead cars for better or worse. On a 4 lane one way road where left and right are turn only, going into a two lane one way across an intersection, first it was going to use the right turn only lane but I cancelled that, then it followed...

Tried it without that setting and same experience — going into leftmost lane when we need to exit soon. I would normally just disengage but wanted to see what it would do. Also probably annoyed a van as I was mildly tailgated going back to the right lane. About motion sickness, it’s interesting...

They really need to do away with that “beep beep beep” as it’s very stressful. Save that for serious safety issues instead of beeping every 10 seconds because there’s clouds in the sky. All the more reason it should be possible to choose between tacc, autopilot and fsd without the driver profile...

This one is really context dependent. Sometimes fsd will drop the limit 30+ or more, either on the highway due to nearby exits, or just after getting off, and these are places I really don’t want it to be hitting the brakes.

It's interesting because most Americans complain that auto-max is too slow, but the US in general seems to have high suburban speed limits. I switched back to manual offset because auto max goes way too fast in 30 km/h residential zones.

In my morning route, the navigation never takes the route that I want to take, and FSD locks down the steering wheel so we can't easily steer around potholes or position the car. I would like: * More two-way communication with the feature. Right now the only way we can communicate is via the...

I’ve had FSD do a couple low speed rolls myself, but specifically for this one, the stop sign apparently doesn’t apply to continuing right, which it seems is what the car was doing before it pulled over to the left. The car still almost failed to follow nav but it seems like a bad setup tbh. Of...

Agreed with this feedback. I like to keep a lot more space to parked cars than FSD does. Apparently creating two driver profiles is the way to change to tacc while driving…

There’s also currently no referral or loyalty credits for purchasing a 3.

In your opinion, which brand of EVs / hybrid have the most annoying pedestrian warning systems? In my view, it’s gotta be Toyota without a doubt. Those things are insanely loud and annoying. I can hear a Toyota hybrid from more than 200 feet away. Also, for some reason they often have...

Two obnoxious behaviours I hope they fix in 12.4: 1) When the "FSD degraded" message comes on, it has to come with an annoying "boop boop boop". Sometimes all it takes is for there to be a few clouds for it to say it's degraded. As soon as the message goes away, it comes back with another "boop...

I would definitely not purchase at $16,000 CAD or subscribe at $200+, but at $99 CAD, I think it's worth it just to continue playing around it with and see how it improves. I'm not sure why people think that the price is going to go to the moon. Price != value and what matters is total revenue...

I can see it training on negative output. I.e. where people are disengaging or sending feedback. More training data from FSD does help with that.

Interesting setup. I like this better than where Tesla put the rear centre screen on the Highland. That thing is too small & too low, and also, kids can't reach it without getting out of their seats (which means complaining to the parents). Also seems like a good way to get motion sick and puke...

Interesting. Still not available here in Canada, but if it's $139 CAD, that's almost 10 years of self driving at the current $16,000 price.

I think this is very difficult to solve unless the car somehow develops a memory OR our reports actually go and update a DB somewhere. Sometimes it's not a super-obvious pothole, but a big dip in the road or crappy road engineering that you can't see from further away, or a sunken sewer plate...

I find this behavior ridiculous. Why doesn't it just turn off when you exceed 85 instead of freaking out and locking you out for the rest of the drive?

There’s already places like this today 😁:

That’s a strange road to be sure. Seems like a recent road diet? Just fill it in with some grass or something already.

On the referral screen, there’s a “loyalty” tab where I could purchase a new Y, X, or S but not a 3, for the 7,500 credits. It’s somewhat confusing given the other option that says 10,000 credits but just takes you to a general shop screen.

In the Tesla app, if you tap on "Refer and Earn", it brings you to a new screen with a big "Get Started" button, and 4 tabs along the bottom: Home, Earn, Redeem, and History. If I tap on "Get Started", the second option there says "Order a New Tesla Product", "Get 10,000 credits", and there I...

Depends really, procedural code can be very fast especially if there aren’t 300,000 lines of it. Simple guardrails like “don’t turn the wheel 90°” or “don’t floor the accelerator” wouldn’t add any latency at all. Possibly they can run it in parallel. Would be interesting to learn more about the...

Without being an AI expert myself, the way I envision it is that they would have a supervisor that implements rules-based logic and limits the outputs of the NNs. If the NN is asking for acceleration > some threshold, then the rules based can examine the outputs and see if it's doing it for some...

There's a couple double-left turns around here where there are zero or very faded lane markings through the intersection. It does the same behavior like you noticed and doesn't take a good line. I let FSD try it but I usually end up disengaging and sending my feedback.

Interesting short drive today. I drove on a 2-lane per side stroad where the right lane also has parked cars. It's quite narrow so I don't usually like driving in that lane, since you only have about 1-2 feet of clearance to the parked cars. If there's a big pickup or a truck, you have to cut...

Depends on the vehicle. With separate compartments, they would have a physical barrier and wouldn’t have to sit side by side. Pooling is more important during the peak hours and you could have several compartments in a van-type vehicle.

Shouldn’t be cutting but it’s also poor road design imo. I get shoved into the parking lane by bad drivers in places like that too. Maybe FSD was trained on those drivers?

Because of the lack of communication from the system on what it wants to do, I always keep my foot over the brake anytime there’s people walking near the car or I’m waiting on an unprotected turn. When it commits, it sometimes accelerates like we’re escaping out of prison, when we’re just...

I’ve experienced all of these as well, so it seems to not be uncommon. Now I just disengage the moment the car starts misbehaving in an inappropriate way. It’s better for safety with the other traffic and that way we can also send a voice report back to TSLA which will hopefully improve the...

It seems odd that they have the bed extender when they could offer a “max range” option for more $$$ and not take up additional bed space.

Is it primarily europe or is it a known problem in other markets as well? I’m curious…

I feel the car needs to communicate better when it’s waiting for an opening. Perhaps even wait for driver approval, at least as an option. I believe this is mandatory in some markets anyway.

One option: subsidize rides to mass transit and subsidize pooled rides while charging a congestion fee to trips toward the center? Cities have different levers at their disposal and the smart ones will use robotaxi to reduce overall car traffic and make cities more livable. Hopefully at least...

On 2 lane rural roads with no shoulder, I find it’s a bit much. It’s almost putting the two right wheels onto the gravel, and it’s not far from there into the ditch. Only need to move over like that if there’s a big vehicle coming over the other way.

That’s a tough intersection for sure. It doesn’t seem so common here, but in other places I’ve seen round mirrors put up to look around obstacles like that. I wonder if FSD can be trained to use those?

I agree with this. One problem though is that speed limits are completely arbitrary in some parts of North America compared to Europe or Asia, and so is enforcement. There are 30 zones here where you really should not drive much above 30, but if you do, probably nothing will happen unless it’s...

I’ve noticed use of the accelerator causes nags to come much more frequently. Kind of like the system is checking if you are aware that FSD is still enabled. Might be possible to easily miss if you’re doing UPL, merges or anything else where you should NOT be looking at the screen.

Mostly no. I disengage when it’s about to do something I don’t like, or make the situation uncomfortable or cut someone off. In this case I just asked the system to change lanes by pressing down the turn signal.

On Tesla you have TACC, and then TACC + auto steer. On the Ioniq 5 both are independent. It also doesn’t mess around with the speed in accordance with the speed limit (a personal opinion, but I prefer that behavior. Messing with limits should start with NoA or FSD, not a simple lane assist).

Official FSD video showing off FSD in a car with… stalks. I really just noticed it now, but it struck me that the steering wheel is so much cleaner with the stalks. Having a bunch of buttons show up there is not a move toward simplicity…

My FSD also auto enabled without any confirmation. While playing with the scroll wheel can get annoying, speed limits are too arbitrary here, and also auto max wants to go too fast in residential areas so manual speed is still the better option. I found playing around with FSD hard to resist...
