A friend posted this photo on FB, it's in San Francisco. I'd dearly love to see the FSD beta do a u-turn from the second from the left lane.

I would not be surprised if one of the uses for the data flood from the fleet, in particular once the new FSD architecture goes wide, is to generate maps with centimeter resolution where they are helpful, and keep them updated. You don't need this level of mapping for every meter of roadway, but...

I'm sure they'd really like to avoid it, but absolute worst case, on the Model 3 they could probably tuck some cameras into the top corner of the headlight assemblies and (if necessary) multiplex them with the rear-pointing side camera inputs.

Not quite correct. The car should never drive worse than it can, but it should not attempt maneuvers that are outside the comfort zone of a typical experienced but conservative driver. Personally, it occurs to me that given the inherent randomness of the environment (aka "weird *sugar* happens")...

Agree it was a significant fail, but if there had been a car in the other lane I rather doubt the car would have steered into it! I'd love to see a map of that intersection because it looked like an unusual edge case with an unmarked lane shift.

I added my driveway to Open Street Map specifically to check when/if my M3 would start taking advantage of that info. :) This is a really important point. FSD doesn't just have to drive safely, it has to also drive in a way that does not upset the meatbags inside the car, which means driving...

Agreed. The workload reduction lets you put more of your mental capacity into situational awareness. Clearly, Tesla will have to implement "New Jersey" mode... "Hey, I'm drivin' here!" This will probably require a hardware upgrade so the car can give other drivers the finger.

I like to punish people...

It is not your imagination. It specifically happens when there is a double-line on the left. The car is centering on the right line and the far-left left line, instead of the right line and the rightmost left line. To make sure, I recorded some Teslacam footage of my M3P driving down a road...

So I've been doing a lot of testing of Smart Summon, and made a video to illustrate some of the issues I've run into. The TL/DW for the video is that there are two enhancements that will really expand the use cases: ability to set waypoints instead of a simple destination, and the ability to...

I do not have Homelink.

Alas, no. I'll go play with it some more and see if there is more to it. Try a faster double-tap? I do have Summon STANDBY enabled, that might be relevant.

It seems to work for me. I have the hold to summon feature disabled (not sure it needs to be). What you apparently have to do is put the car into Park, take your foot off the brake, and then double-tap Park to get the movement options. Only fiddled with it a little bit, not sure what the...

Not enough to do a SUMMON, apparently. Nor does having the car in sentry mode affect whether the button appears. It only appears if you have STANDBY on, at least for me.

AFAICT STANDBY as it currently exists is kind of pointless. Since it only takes a few seconds to wake up the car for a summon, the button on the home screen should just say PREPARE TO SUMMON if the car is asleep, then you press it, it changes to ACTIVATING SENSORS and finally COME TO ME. Or if...

That is very interesting. I just got the 32.11 update, and the home screen COME TO ME button only appears when STANDBY is enabled. In fact, I can make the button appear and disappear by toggling STANDBY and waiting a few seconds for the app to get notified of this by the car! If I let the car...

Not quite, but you put me on the right track, so TYVM. The full solution is that the COME TO ME Home Screen button will only appear if the Summon STANDBY feature has been activated. But curiously, that feature has an option to exclude locations like Home, but the COME TO ME button is still...

My app suddenly started asking for my password and failing to accept it. I have a feeling Tesla's SSO server is having a bad afternoon.

I have 3.10 build 381, it has smart summon, the new window vent feature, etc.

Yes, as far as I can tell. The App Store does not show a more recent version. One of the first things I checked.

In the Tesla Smart Summon video, there is a quick shot of the app home screen in which there is both a "COME TO ME" button and what appears to be a visualization of what the car is sensing in terms of obstructions. However, this button does not appear on my app, though at least once while doing...

I have this happen to me about once a week. Not quite sure what is causing it. It may be related to SWMBO’s phone often being just in Bluetooth range of the car when it’s on the charging pad in the kitchen, her having driven the car more recently than me, or the garage being right on the edge...

Yep. First rule if you want people to notice something -- there must be a visual state change. The dog mode display should cycle between several messages, in different colors, with different backgrounds, with sharp transitions, no fades. DOG MODE ON: / AC IS ON: / HUMAN RETURNING SOON: 72F And...
