    Does anyone actually have FSD v12 yet?

    Yesterday, on 12.3, I turned on FSD with minimize lane changes while in the middle of 3 lanes. With no traffic around, I signaled left wanting to change lanes but the car never honored my request. I had to cancel. I also dislike the single pull and use a “no fsd” profile to easily enable cruise...

    Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) won't be available on FSD v12?

    In anticipation of fsdb 12,3, I created a profile named no fsd, that has fsdb turned off and TACC and autosteer on. I do prefer using TACC and manual steering for most drives around town because FSDb is stressful and also I don’t want to bother entering a destination. Although I have not tried...

    FSD V12 (end to end AI)

    Oops, I should’ve mentioned that my m3 is in California. My Mx in Oregon has not gotten the 12 update yet.

    FSD V12 (end to end AI)

    Same here. 2018 m3. In preparation, I added a new profile that I named no fsd, so I can use TACC without autosteer.

    Forced Autopilot Disengagement problem

    If the nag won’t go away while torquing, try reversing the direction. You may need to alternate directions frequently.

    Are there any heads up displays that show nags so you don’t have to (unsafely) look down?

    As I have reported elsewhere, ever since the holiday update, constant torque no longer works on my 2018 m3. It now requires alternating torque direction. My 2019 mx, however, still works fine. So, if you get nags that won’t go away with even more force, try reversing direction.

    Has happened multiple times to me. Each time, even though I override , my wife exclaims “I hate your car.”

    FSD Owners - Do any of you prefer leaving it off?

    For many years I have driven with autopilot and then FSDb using one hand at 5 o’clock or 7 o’clock to provide continuous torque. Never was bothered by nags. Now, as of the holiday update, I get the "Apply slight turning force to steering wheel" nag even though I am already dong so. I have tried...

    NTSB update for Autopilot has me looking for an anti-nag device

    Yes, right after posting that, I thought, am I sure I have no cabin camera? Pretty sure no IR illuminators, though.

    Your 2018 m3 doesn’t have a cockpit camera does it? Mine doesn’t.

    Karpathy: Self-driving as a case study for AGI

    I got a very unfair third strike that I do not understand. Please help.

    Here is something I reported in another thread. You might get some useful ideas: For many years I have driven with autopilot and then FSDb using one hand at 5 o’clock or 7 o’clock to provide continuous torque. Never was bothered by nags. Now, as of the holiday update, I get the "Apply slight...

    I got my new Autopilot defeat device

    There are many different wavelength bands of IR. Near, mid, thermal etc. Thermal does no go through glass or plastic (silicon and germanium are often used as lenses or windows.) The eye tracking IR is most certainly near IR, perhaps around 800 nm.

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    no! How is that going to work on a straight road - there is no turning to resist. The message says "Apply slight turning force to steering wheel". I use one hand and simply never get nags. Have been driving Teslas since 2013. I use my right hand at about 5 o’clock partly resting on my knee in...

    Autopilot reminder every 15 seconds??

    No. You need to heed the new updated message I saw recently "Apply slight turning force to steering wheel". I hold with my thumb and forefinger at about 5 o’clock and apply about the weight of my hand. Never use two hands unless one is at the bottom applying no turning force that might cancel...

    Autopilot reminder every 15 seconds??

    I use one hand and simply never get nags. Have been driving Teslas since 2013. I use my right hand at about 5 o’clock partly resting on my knee in my 3 (in my X, my knee is too far away.) I simply hook my thumb and forefinger and provide a slight continuous torque. I have never disabled...

    Noticed brake lights flash during the creep. Doubt fsd would do that, probably human driven.

    Thoughts from a first time FSD Beta User: HW4

    Fred Lambert, who used to post here in the early days, had 11.4.7 try to change left into a freeway emergency vehicle crossing area. https://electrek.co/2023/09/01/tesla-fsd-beta-tried-to-kill-me-last-night/

    Waymo

    Not sure how to do this link, but here is a very through analysis of Waymo and Cruse safety: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/09/are-self-driving-cars-already-safer-than-human-drivers/ That was easy, just paste it. At least using copy-paste on an iPad, may have done more than plain text.

    Waymo or Tesla on a random city & route - who would do better?

    I seem to recall that the the I-pace is not long for this world. But with my memory, who knows. So, I googled it, and yes, it is being discontinued.

    FSD V12 Elon Demo

    In my experience FSDb (14.4) already does this. Previously, it would change speed exactly as it passes the sign. Now it does, maybe, 50 feet ahead of the sign.

    Waymo

    You might have missed my point. The status quo is approximately 40,000 deaths per year in the US. Anything that delays automated driving continues that statistic. No amount of yelling at people to not speed and not drive drunk will have any effect. Forcing autonomous vehicles to drive much...

    Waymo

    Assuming you want to limit the rollout of AVs that are safer than human driving. Don‘t you think there may be backlash of people fed up with AVs poking along at 5 or 10 mph under the prevailing conditions? Traffic laws and such are set by humans who assume vehicles are driven by other, perhaps...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Yup, in my case it is a traffic circle bypass. There is a crosswalk like yours but also has a green bicycle share the road painted symbol. I wanted to use FSD-b there in order to report it but my wife did not want any part of it. I told her that I would not do it if anyone was behind and that i...

    Autonomous Vehicles and the Law

    Over on Ars Technica, Jonathon GItlin has an article titled “Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” sees pedestrian, chooses not to slow down.” When I saw in the 11.4 notes the feature that the car can track pedestrians and know when it can safely pass, I thought, uh oh, another rolling stop issue where...

    Latest FSD beta issue

    If the limit had dropped to 60 at that point, then sure, the car would slow to 60 plus your % offset (stupid NTSB.) Otherwise, it is just another phantom braking incident. Hit the accelerator when there is obviously no reason. Perhaps we should always disengage with the stalk and then report...

    2021 MYLR full-self driving beta disable 3 of 5 while holding wheel and watching road

    Remember, you have to provide torque (turning force) — it does not detect your hands. One problem is the use of the term “hands on the wheel”. If you do use both hands, it is very difficult to apply torque and you then get nags which then annoys some people to the point of using a defeat...

    Should I buy a 2021 MY without Radar?

    I voted no just because you already have an MS with AP1. I think I’d wait a few months to see how the potential new hardware shakes out. My MX with radar disabled failed to even allow TACC during a recent dark rainy night, a situation that worked fine before. I add that the above failure was on...

    Done with Teslas

    I think as Steve Jobs once said, "You're holding it wrong." One problem is the use of the term “hands on the wheel”. If you do use both hands, it is very difficult to apply torque and you then get nags which then annoys some people to the point of using a defeat device. I use one hand and...

    HW4 for true FSD

    Thermal IR is long wavelength and can not go through glass. So it has to be external.

    Lidar lost Tesla the robotaxi?

    And yet, people keep regularly smashing into each other in hundred car pileups with dozens of fatalities when encountering fog or smoke. That is why I think radar should always be included. It doesn’t need to be high resolution to avoid a bunch of stopped or slow cars.

    What should Waymo do next?

    Of course Mobileye is owned by Intel.

    Another of my predictive polls: FSD will or will not be achieved with "vision only". VOTE NOW!

    Although I voted vision, I believe radar should be included for its ability to penetrate fog.

    FSD Beta accidents

    I think it should stay on but not accelerate. Just maintain the current speed while keeping a proper distance from the car ahead.

    Strap a weight onto the steering wheel

    I hold my right hand at about 5 o’clock with a bit of tug and my left on my knee. Haven’t had a nag in the last 5 years except one time I was cooling both hands in the ac stream. I think the problem is the phrase “keep your hands on the wheel“ rather than the more wordy “provide a little torque...

    FSD Beta 10.11

    Reminds me that back in the early days, I posted a picture and a question about the finish on the car, “features or bug“ to one of the forums (this or Tesla’s) and the Portland folks sent a guy out who spent an hour working on the problem. Ah, those were the good old days (2013.)

    Autopilot acceleration

    Agree, I constantly have to apply the accelerator while mentally yelling at the car to “keep up you f-ing bucket of bolts.” Doesn’t seem that hard to accelerate smoothly based on the distance and the degree of acceleration or deceleration of the care in front.
