    Data likely shows Teslas on Autopilot crash more than rivals

    This is speculative and I beg to differ to your conclusion. This is after all what NTSHA is investigating under this case so we will see at the conclusion of this study. But I'd argue that safety is enhanced with AP provided drivers use AP properly as intended. It leaves the driving to the car...

    95+ score and no FSD Beta today?

    When I got it back in dec it was definitely 100 total miles; didn’t matter if it was manual or AP. In fact AP doesn’t affect aggressive braking and turning stats. AP miles only average down the time between FCW cuz FCW during AP doesn’t count against you (unsafe following during AP doesn’t count...

    Model Y Owners - Preordering a Cybertruck

    Just so you know, the 3rd row seats on a MY can really only fit kids or adults < ~5’10”. For adults it’s really seating for going around town; I would definitely not put anyone but kids back there for road trips.

    NHTSA Close to forcing recall of FSD after more crashes

    Don't know what you are talking about the Tesla in cabin camera actually monitor what the driver is actually doing rather than just simple eye/head tracking. If you have the FSD Beta it'll almost immediately prompt you to pay attention/tug the wheel if you grab and look at your phone.

    Just suspended... Software updates do not reset FSD disengagement counter - disengagements can happen in 1-2 seconds notice and other FSDB gripe/notes

    I don’t know man, but as an engineer if I was running a testing program for testing a human life critical system, I’m not sure if I would want you to be on the beta test. You admit yourself that you have issues with your own vision and are frequently distracted with text messages and your...

    Will Mercedes jump to level 3 before Tesla? Looks like it.

    Because throwing everything under the sun at the problem is bad engineering and the end results is a system that may work technically speaking, but it's so inefficient and so unreliable that it is effectively useless. This is the equivalent of filling up the cabin of a Model X full of batteries...

    FSD Beta 10.11

    It's more likely they are doing comparative testing where they are using drivers on older firmware as control/baseline to compare against users with newer builds. These are testing build, not production so you don't want everyone on the newest firmware so that you'd have data to generate deltas...

    How does the "hands on wheel" warning really work?

    I'm pretty some of those red hands on wheels warning, especially during an intersection, is when FSD isn't sure about something as it cross the intersection and wants to make sure you have hands on wheel in case it does run into trouble. I've seen these warnings generally during a "complex"...

    FSD Beta 10.11

    I think the key difference between you and I is that you're in Chicago and I'm in San Diego. Nearly daily perfect weather is a good place to deploy early releases to check for major bugs before opening it to wider geographical regions with more varied weather conditions.

    FSD Beta 10.11

    Updated to 10.11 while at work. Took me home just fine, not really any better or worst than 10.10 on the same route. Need to drive more to see. I seem to always get the updates early. I attribute it to being in San Diego with mix of suburban and freeway driving and using FSD for at least part...

    Cruisematic

    Your safety score is basically null when using AP so being on AP wouldn’t help you improve your safety score but it can prevent you from getting docked if someone cut in front of you. Unsafe following is also only calculated when your care is >50mph and your are < 3 sec from the car in front of...

    FSD Beta 10.10 Release Notes

    It sounds like NoA automatically revert back to simple TACC. I've seen this before where increment weather automatically down grade NoA back to TACC and misses exits if you didn't notice the pop up message stating that downgrade. The only other way to know that it's been downgraded, is your...

    Poll : What is your average daily miles on FSD Beta ?

    Use it daily on my commute which is 100% surface street, ~17miles round trip. I also average 2-3 interventions (not counting accelerator pedal to encourage it to go on stop signs). Interventions are almost always to correct dumb lane choices. I’ve had FSD since 10.5… I think; In all my...

    My Near Miss Collision on Tesla Auto Pilot, What Happened?

    Were the blind spot camera and Collision warning chime turned on? https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-ADA05DFF-963D-477D-9A51-FA8C8F6429F1.html Even still, per the manual it’s not guaranteed to 100% warn you about this exact situation. Engineering wise, it’s an extremely...

    Confusion about FSD and AP

    @TheGroove you have subscribed to or purchased FSD. This only gets you auto-lane change, summon, smart summon, navigate on AP, and AP on city streets. These functions and behaviors are described in the owners manual and are the expected behavior for AP on city streets. AP on surface streets...
