I’ve long said that Tesla needs to have the car plot multiple routes as it is driving in anticipation of possibly missing a turn or unexpected road closures forcing a deviation from the expected route. This video has a great example of why as the Tesla waits way too long to get into a turn lane...

Just got a software update for my car. We’ll see if it’s 11.4 once it’s done installing.

good news is that I’m no longer cancelling inane lane changes nearly as much as I used to on versions prior to 11.3.6(?). Bad news is that now my car occasionally takes waaaaaay too long to change into a turn lane while slowing down. This impedes people traveling behind me. It’s not really super...

Yeah, that is called the wave of death. Lots of accidents caused by people stopping in one lane and waving someone waiting to turn onto or off of the street, directly into a car in an adjacent lane that was driving at speed. If you’re going to take those gaps, always always always do so...

The problem is that it is harder than you think to have it properly stop at every stop sign without it also improperly stopping for an erroneously perceived stop sign. Frenchie had vids where in Chicago they have two stop signs, one on each end of the intersection, and the Tesla would try to...

Had my first real opportunity to use it on a decent distance drive from the South Bay to the Ahmanson Theater, and then to the El Chato Taco Truck, and then back to the South Bay yesterday, and the Beta did a nearly flawless job and NoAP was great as well. A couple of disengagements, but those...

DT had some of the best roundabout behavior I’ve seen from beta. Excellent drive up to that point, and then a bunch of weird slowdowns requiring foot on go pedal interventions to keep from impeding drivers behind the car, lol.

I really hope the merge means that they’ll put in a toggle to confirm lane changes for the Beta like NoAP has, lol. The dumb lane changes Beta tries to make sometimes astound me.

FSD handles my suburban area really well now (outside of parking lots). It always did, but it’s to the point where if I for some reason had to drive while disabled in some way I’d have confidence in the car making it to the destination without any issues besides maybe annoying other drivers by...

another UPL video from Chuck for the 69.2 version. 100 percent success today, but mostly low traffic scenarios. Interesting on turn number 4 or 5 where there was a car making an UPL ahead of Chuck’s car, and you can see how far the human driver crept up to see traffic coming from the left, which...

Car stops short of a stop sign for a car that the driver didn’t see. Not really necessary to stop that far back since there wasn’t really a risk of an imminent collision, imo, could have just slowed and cautiously approached the stop line, but still impressive that the Tesla saw the other car...

Some moron turns into the wrong lane. Beta brakes immediately, but this guy should be holding his steering wheel and should have been ready to swerve to the right if the idiot kept going.

some interesting turns here in heavy traffic. Beta did most of them well. It did fail a left turn and just go right at a different, slightly more irregular intersection later in the vid, but then did it well on the next attempt. Kind of a weird one at the end where it properly saw a gap and...

Impressive. That situation would have had me as a human giving up on the left and just turning right in front of the pickup leaving the gap for an eventual U-turn when I could make it over to the left lane. Chuck has some guts.

Thats so interesting. In California you can use center turn lanes to start and to complete left turns. I had no idea that other states don’t allow you to use it to complete left turns.
