You were the one who responded that lane splitting was legal in SoCal (but at low speeds.) I was just pointing out that the incident reported was at 80mph.

Thanks for the informative answer. Before we updated to V12 we were on V11.4.3 and my husband was still leaving recordings, I pointed out it was useless to do so since we were on such an old version of FSDb and we didn't upload our info anyway. It will be sad for my husband to come to terms...

Question about leaving feedback when disengaging or reporting: (I'm not sure if those are the same thing.) I only connect to wifi about 5 times a year when I download updates (no wifi at home which makes avoiding updates easy.) Do my reported incidents just go nowhere? I have no way of...

In SoCal 80 might be considered 'traffic crawling' but I certainly don't. As for legality, apparently Oregon motorcyclists have attempted a few times to get lane-splitting at low speed legalized and failed. (most recently according to a quick search was May 2023.) You probably don't...

I thought you couldn't set the speed in FSDS. It chooses the speed based either on the limit (if you turn Auto Speed off) or on its interpretation of what is safe for the current traffic conditions.

I thought all long vehicles pulled wide when making a 90 degree turn (either right or left.) The signal was high on the trailer but the truck's signal is visible through the wire mesh of the trailer and is where a truck signal always is (not modified.) On top of that, the truck signaled the...

Re: lack of rear-ending accidents reported here or in the general media. I was one of those who predicted the media would catch wind of a lot of fender benders (at least) caused by FSDS and it being used by people unused to supervising unreliable software. I've been pleasantly surprised that...

Great discussion on motion sickness. I never had it in cars but on a cruise ship, I learned my headache and drowsiness was actually mild motion sickness. Seabands and if extremely rough, dramamine, work for me. (Writing that makes me wonder if my Seabands could allow me to work in the back of...

My husband is amused by the suggestions when he pulls up navigation (I am not sure if he has Auto Nav set.) If it is near dinner and he's at my daughter's, it suggests the Chinese Food place he often goes to on the way back from visiting her on a weekend. When he gets in the car early in the...

This is expected behaviour for this version of FSDS. Others have tested it with the same results. Apparently you have to set a destination and let the car choose the route and any changes (beyond the options when you first set the destination). You can't just go out for a 'drive' with the car.

Comparing the roughness of a drive to an Uber/Lyft or Waymo is not a fair comparison. In both those cases, you are not responsible for the actions of the car, you are only responsible for your own safety. That additional responsibility for both the vehicle and everyone else on the road raises...

Our first Prius was a regular one, bought used to replace our Odyssey. We upgraded to the Prius V as soon as it was available, from the Ody to the Prius was just too much of a decrease, we needed that little bit more room in all directions and the Prius V was the perfect fit for us. I loved...

If the tesla camera is not a priority, is that because you have an aftermarket dash-cam? To me, having the dashcam is high priority, along with Sentry recordings, and why I get so pissed that it never seems to work when I need it to, like the other day when I pressed 'record' after a traffic...

Did you forget the /s? Subscription is still better since it can be suspended when the car is not being used. Why wouldn't your car be used every single month? 1. a holiday without your car, 2. You suffer a broken leg or have surgery and can't drive for a couple of months, 3. The car is...

So, for 15 - 30 seconds, you joined with the old man and held up the traffic behind you instead of disengaging, passing, moving into the lane of the car you were overtaking, and reengaging FSD. FSDS is an Advanced Driver Assistance System, not an Advancing Driver As-a-holes System. Had you...
