Giving credence to NHTSA's concerns are actually about driver attention is about on par with believing Elon when he says "two weeks" or "VX.xx will be mind blowing." Seriously, think about it. We all know by now that Elon/Tesla is trying, but it's best to take ANY timeline or version with a huge grain of salt. Similarly, it should be pretty obvious that NHTSA's concerns have about zero to do with actual safety. (Given that statistically autopilot equipped cars are involved in far fewer accidents than other vehicles.) Hell, the NHTSA doesn't even get the biggest safety issues right--auto wipers are a bigger deal than autopilot. No, Elon's timelines are about the stock price--duh--and the NHTSA's concerns are about Tesla/Elon failing to pay the required bribes to the party in power--Dammit! I meant campaign contributions. And of course the press gets lots of "clicks" any time they slam Tesla/Elon and don't even irritate an advertiser.Given NHTSA jumping all over Tesla for driver attention with Autopilot,
Yes especially entering a city. When the speed limit changes from 55 down to 35 it seems to stay at 55 way too long enough time to get a ticket is there anyway of adjusting this so that it will slow down faster?I noted above that it takes way too long to slow down, but it's an intermittent thing. Sometimes it does pretty well and other times it seems like it will never slow down. It never does as well as it used to (you'd actually feel yourself pushed forward a bit in the seat).
In the past, the limit shown on the screen would change just as I pass the sign; now it changes a little sooner.
But I've never seen it get to the new limit by the time it passes the sign. Let us know if that is repeatable.
What are the models and production years on this branch?When are those of us on 2024.8… going to get the latest FSD software? Why is there a hold up?
On Reddit I’ve seen S, X, and Ys going back to 2021 at least.What are the models and production years on this branch?
Pretty much every model is on it except CT:What are the models and production years on this branch?
The answer to both questions is nobody here knows. Here is a scenario that may play out over the next month.When are those of us on 2024.8… going to get the latest FSD software? Why is there a hold up?
Exactly. It's as if some people actually believe what Elon says. It will still be L2, which by definition requires driver supervision.Say what????? Supervised is just an added word to help placate the systems acceptance and promote paying attention to the newbies. There is absolutely NO such thing as an UNsupervised L2 system.
Almost all Tesla's since 2018 have infrared lights, 2 of them to the left and right of the cabin camera. They are about 2 inches away from the camera.I tested this on my non-IR 2019 Model 3 when they released the feature that let you view the cabin camera from the service menu. The camera seems to have pretty good exposure ranges, as the light of the center screen alone was enough to clearly see my face.
It doesn't do well on freeway lanes where cars merge from both the offramp and onramp. On a recent drive, FSD was going to merge into a gap going to the offramp but I could see a car entering the freeway headed for that gap. I disengaged. I assume this is still the freeway code.Merging in general needs work.
FSD can’t figure out which of the two lanes is merging with which one. Frequently it wants to change to the lane that will merge in 100 ft. That is also the reason it can’t properly signal when merging.

Go out to your car at night, turn on your cellphone camera and look at the cabin camera. You will see those infrared lights.. This is how they monitor you at night.
The Model S Plaid is the first of Tesla’s offerings to include infrared LEDs inside the cabin, but there hasn’t been much talk of the addition.
...
Currently, new Model 3 and Model Y vehicles have Tesla Vision Autopilot, powered only by cameras and no radar. Inside these vehicles, the cabin camera also monitors drivers when Autopilot is engaged. It’s unclear if infrared cameras LEDs may trickle down to these lower-priced vehicles from Tesla.
My impression too. I have a 2021 Model 3 (delivered at end of 2020) and it doesn't have IR lights for the cabin camera.I was under the impression that they were first added to the cabin camera around the Model S Plaid launch in 2021: Tesla Model S Plaid Has In-Cabin Infrared LEDs, Possibly for Driver Monitoring - TeslaNorth.com
There goes all this Vision only nonsense. Q.E.D.Tesla Surprisingly Becomes Luminar's Largest Lidar Customer, Contradicting Musk's Past Criticism
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has described lidar sensors as a “crutch” for autonomous vehicles. Yet Tesla has become the largest customer of lidar manufacturer Luminar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:LAZR). As disclosed in Luminar’s earnings report on Tuesday, in the first quarter of 2024...currently.att.yahoo.com
We have no idea what they are using what they purchased for. It could be in the factory to measure panel alignment or other things. We don't have any way of knowing if they are using them for FSD. (Well, other than Elon saying that they don't even need them for ground truth anymore.)There goes all this Vision only nonsense. Q.E.D.
Yep. We just know that the long awaited Vision only FSD (not beta) turned out to be Supervised FSD. Which is an oxymoron. We cannot really be sure about anything beyond that. But we can have a pretty good guess about where this has been heading for the last 8 years.We have no idea what they are using what they purchased for. It could be in the factory to measure panel alignment or other things. We don't have any way of knowing if they are using them for FSD.

From the reports, Tesla had been a customer for a long time using them for ground truth for their training vehicles. As another put it, the volumes being purchase is not anywhere close enough to be able to supply the actual consumer vehicles.There goes all this Vision only nonsense. Q.E.D.
