Teslas cameras have a few problems that could be solved with the newer models. The side view cameras are too far back. They need to be near the front to see around corners without entering the crossing lane. A higher resolution will allow the cars to see farther ahead. Also seeing into the...

I wonder if Musk expects BYD to take over the EV market soon so he is putting his energies in his primary advantage which is FSD. The robo taxi would showcase Teslas one unique feature that is unlikely to be emulated. They could also be deployed anywhere, not just in pre-scanned locations, which...

Has anyone taken a ride on Waymo? I'm curious as to how the ride compares with FSD 12.3.3.

Oops. I meant as soon as the light turned green, not red. I don’t see an option to edit my post.

Today I was in a left lane and had a short distance to get into the right lane for a freeway entrance. There was a big truck in the right lane, blocking my move, and cars in front and back so I couldn’t change the lane. We stopped at a red light about a block from the fwy entrance, the truck on...

Gaffers tape is what you need. Look it up.

I’ve already done that. I used wide white gaffers tape. Didn’t help much with the old parking system and my car has uss sensors,so I can’t try the new system yet.

I’m starting to see some reports of FSD from the media and others that have never tried it before. They all focus on the mistakes the system made like nearly stopping for no reason and running a red light. Those of us who experienced V11 are delighted at the improvement but to others the only...

I expect that you disengaged when it actually would have been fine if you hadn’t. I did that a lot at first when I got V12, upgraded from V11. I’ve gradually learned I can trust it more than I thought. Often if it seems too slow, I will then notice a pedestrian or other situation it was waiting...

For me too. I keep getting situations where i expect to jump in but just before i do, the car does exactly what i was prepared to do. There are still missing pieces like emergency vehicle response and honoring no right on red but i expect those kind of things to be added in time.

I'll bet Tesla expects Tesla accidents to notably decrease during the trial FSD period. Once they decrease to a certain point they can begin to consider eye and hands off driving. Once true, unmonitored self driving is implemented, sales could increase a lot.

12.3 ALMOST got the wife approval, but not quite. I always turn off a highway into our neighborhood just before arriving home. It's often been a problem with earlier versions. The car would be too fast, too slow, angled wrong, waffle back and forth etc. Now with 12.3 the car can make the turn...

It does speed up a little but still adjusts for curves and can go back to the slow speed.

There's a new stop sign near me and the V12.3 went right through it then stopped after it had passed. This probably indicates that it relies on mapped stop signs more than the video visuals.
