It’s ridiculous! It’s the kind of troll job that would take a pretty profound sense of wrong to actually make enough people actually care about so many years later. Especially dorks who paid $100k for a car. Or maybe even twice!

I've only been here for 6 years since Tesla released a video *demonstrating* that "self-driving" cars were right around the corner. I totally understood that it was probably a bit of a stretch and maybe it wasn't 100% but I did think that it was at least probably close to reality. Obviously I'm...

I just picked my car up after having half shafts replaced. Shutter had gotten progressively worse to where it happened even during moderate acceleration. Anyhow, very similar problem to this post. Pulled out of the parking lot, stopped at a stop sign, and as soon as I pressed the accelerator to...

Not to nitpick, but Subaru's system is vision-only

We've had two Outbacks over nearly six years, both with their TACC package. We have never had this happen on either of them. That is not an exaggeration. My S will do it at least once a day over 30ish miles of commuting. Sometimes because it thinks there's a stoplight on the highway. Sometimes...

10.9 still tries to stop for the train control light on the highway. That pretty much makes me have to disable FSD, but I did try a bit around my neighborhood first and experienced no improvement.

It’s sort of picky, but a wrinkle is that traffic light controls are enabled in highway AP anytime FSD is enabled. I can’t use FSD on an area highway because it has train tracks down the middle with train control lights. The traffic control code will stop in the interstate if the lights are red...

It only happens when I'm in the right hand lane where the 30 MPH sign is closely aligned with the US-45 sign. If I'm in the left lane there is enough parallax between the two that I think the NN identifies the signs separately. The part of it that makes me go "hmmm" is that this is the same...

FSD

I see no changes with 10.6.1. I leave FSD mostly off these days because I find it just too dangerous for day to day driving. But, I have developed a few test points where I see if it has improved. - still comes to a complete stop on the highway when it sees train control lights that are red -...

I also went from 10.5 to 10.6.1. It’s not in the release notes, but this release includes a 19.7% increase in permanence of longitudinal UVD detection and in right turn - when turning right - scenarios, an uprevving of Chinese (simplified) language detection of potential scenario network visibility.

My wife and I were on a country road with no one around us and it came to a complete stop for no reason. I let it go to see how far it would slow down bc there was no one else on the road. Then after a cpl seconds it drove on. No idea what it thinks it saw. That’s an extreme occurrence, but I...

I have received the 2021.36.8.8 update and I can confirm a 13% improvement in static world prediction. Could be the martini. But fairly confident. Wayyyyy more than 12%

I’m not an actuary, but there is zero chance this “score” has any but the weakest correlation with hitting things and/or hurting people or damaging property. And it’s not sour grapes - I have FSD. The math is total BS. For instance, the “aggressive braking” coefficient basically, like a lot of...

And it’s not lane confusion where maybe I was on a misinterpreted exit lane w stop lights at the end. That I could understand as an error. Lane Confusion - sounds like a syndrome
