First couple of drives on v11.3.3 didn't show any obvious roundabout logic improvements.

There's a couple of strips of masking tape on the front of one of the cabinets, as if the correction was taped to the front and was subsequently taken down. Still no meter or transformer.

Not always; cf. Why C is faster than assembly - Embedded Software

As A Matter Of Fact It Is My Road (AAMOFIIMR), pronounced "ammo-FEE-mur", as in throwing a leg into a cannon or something.

Waiting on utility transformer; you can see the awaiting standard brown, orange and yellow three phase 480VAC conductors (along with neutral gray) beyond Tikka's left ear.

Ditto - but I also drive myself if I'm on the phone. I've spent too many decades splitting my attention between a spoken conversation and what other cars are doing on the road. Having to monitor the car's driving while splitting my attention on a phone call, even hands-free? Nope.

So you're saying that FSD is more fun than a human being should be allowed to have?

Over the holiday break I drove to visit my brother in Glendale CA. FSD Beta is head and shoulders better in Southern Cal than here at home in Washington State! There are subtle differences in street markings and signage, and FSD Beta was never confused about (e.g.) which lane was the center...

My experience tends to disconfirm that hypothesis. On my way to/from work there’s an intersection with clearly marked straight/left and right turn lanes: I have yet to see FSD Beta get into the straight/left turn lane when going left to right; it always wants to be in the right lane even...

Although widely believed, this is in fact not true. The real issue is that BMW blinker fluid reservoirs are relatively small, and can only be refilled at dealership service departments.

Elon said the old architecture had reached a point beyond diminishing returns for more training. However, the same training set was likely used for both the old and new architecture. So it's reasonable to anticipate similar behaviors for the first rollout of the new architecture, except...

Until the blinker fluid runs out. What? You say? No such thing as blinker fluid? Really, it's a thing. It's just that BMW forgot to mention it in their owners and service manuals.

Put another way: tighten your grip on the wheel, overpowering FSD Beta's attempt to turn early. Only after the partial disengagement, hit the brake or stalk to fully disengage. Make the turn manually. Re-engage FSD Beta. Hit the report button. This is a perfect example of a hard edge case...

30+ years ago when dating my (now) wife I noticed that her surprise reactions were much slower than mine. I could hear a phone ring, turn my head towards her, and then watch her startle reaction begin. Much giggling and laughter and fun bonding times. These days she struggles with balance...

Ditto hands on knees with seat raised high enough / wheel lowered enough that it's natural to have my fingers loosely on the wheel at all times. I keep my fingers on the wheel ready to grab if it starts doing something crazy. And I've also learned how to tighten my finger grip--just enough--so...
