it will have zero impact. this is not a real thing

WOW! so image data from GOOG but actual nav data from a second source? thanks for the input! not my area of expertise, but that seems bat shiz crazy to design it that way. dont they have to sync both data sources so that the screen doesn't display someone driving through the woods 30 feet to the...

we have noticed this effect when driving into a rising or setting sun, up to one hour after sunrise or prior to sunset. do you remember what time of day you experienced this? FSD relies on the camera's view of the line, and this seems to happen at lower sun angles with faded lines. it seems the...

it doesn't, you have to intervene. this has been a bug for years, and it doesn't appear Tesla has an interest to fix it. same with the emergency vehicle issue. you have to laugh that Elon thinks he is going to be allowed to have a driverless taxi.

We have had the same experience. school zone speed limits, flashing school signs, school cross walks, school buses with their lights on - all are generally ignored by fsd. this is really confounding too, because the map app on your phone uses a database of all the speed zones and your GPS...

that sounds like a camera calibration issue. when you get those failures is is usually a disagreement between what the sofware expects and what the camera data is telling it. sometimes it is dirt, sometimes it is software. if it continues, a reboot is sometimes needed. I hopoe by now this is all...

it resides in the car for certain. the system is constantly collecting data about its interactions and sharing it with the mother ship. disengagements are more a trigger for analysis.

love that analogy and I think it is right on. we have found that there are environments where FSD excels (low traffic and street complexity) and others where it does not (high traffic density and multilane roadways, particularly if some of those are turn, exit or HOV commuter lanes). so...

I agree. offering the free trial is strategic on Tesla's part. The AI software needs data to learn, and so having lots of new users capturing data for it accelerates that learning curve. they are in essence using owners as test dummies.

I was annoyed by the auto speed default and went back to the old +15% max limit I used to have, and it works perfectly. you may want to give that a try. Otherwise the car drives like a grandma (no offense to cool grandmas out there). offering the free trial is strategic on Tesla's part. The AI...

That would be awesome if they could code that, and probably save a lot of headache with Uncle Sam. or just give an IQ test to buyers to make sure they are smart enough to use the technology. LOL.

I think I heard that Tesla is using Google map data now, and the nav is updating your route online, like your phone does. could be wrong on that one, maybe someone else can confirm.

I think you nailed it - the road was gently curving to the left. FSD is overreliant on the cameras. even when the GPS says the road continues, if FSD can't clearly see that, it goes for option #2, particularly without a route in the nav. the reverse is true also, which is why FSD has been known...

I think your assessment of FSD being akin to a first time driver very accurate. in our tests it is very good at basic manipulation of the car - lane keeping, executing a turn, stopping and starting smoothly - the mechanics of operating the vehicle. where it sometimes falls short is decision...

for number 2, it is highly likely the road lines were obscured and the software was incorrectly estimating where the road edge was. the cameras are the primary lane keeping device.

it is possible that FSD plotted a reroute before it displayed on the screen. but the gap would have been just a second or two. in my experience FSD plotted a reroute and displayed it but the driver was watching traffic and didnt see it. FSD is very reliant on its cameras, and it is also possible...

I am not sure the Mercedes system is truly level 3. at least not in my experience.

I agree with many of your points, particularly as a pilot myself. but my perception of this system is different. while it is called Full Self Driving, in no way do I consider it that. I use it as an aide in specific situations where it excels, similar to my Cirrus's autopilot, which I would...

we believe the issue is the software's overreliance on cameras. while the map program knows it needs to move over to exit, the cameras are showing a solid "do not cross" white line. the software eventually chooses its "safest" solution, which is to stay in its lane, and misses the exit...

Same here. In our tests FSD with no destination performs as if it will continue on the current road going straight indefinately. when it gets to a terminus, it invariably takes a right turn and continues on that road, apparently until another terminous. we are trying to find a route where more...

from a legal standpoint, it is likely base Autopilot will be further degraded to an adaptive cruise control like on many other cars. this is because so many drivers have used it like Full Self Driving when it is a totally different functionality. And the NHTSA has plenty of crash evidence to...

That is incorrect, and a common misperception. while FSD has the ability to use full steering wheel deflection to execute turns, base autopilot is lane keeping only. this is a basic premise of the NHTSA complaint - "Autopilot would disengage rather than allow drivers to adjust their steering...

I'm sorry for your experience. I hope you have great success with the Merc.

In my view, my 23 MS Plaid would be perfect with the yoke and the lower part of the wheel attached. Form + better function. I wonder if anyone has 'removed' the top half of the steering wheel above the stalks? or added a yoke mod?
