    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I've wondered this myself (specifically, if manual driving is more beneficial vs. FSD driving w/disengagement data.) I kinda wish Tesla would offer some sort of "training" mode where we could submit manual drives for training. Allowing us to toggle this on/off per drive would let us adjust our...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Fair enough, and you may be right. Just saying though, when you step back and think about it, it's remarkable how little we know about the process. Seriously, help us help you, Tesla!

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I wish Tesla would give us even the slightest bit of feedback on this. For example, I often disengage to go a certain route that the nav doesn't want to take, and I don't leave a voice note because I'm thinking maybe Tesla will then ignore that disengagement. Is that what they actually do...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Regarding the braking/hesitations - No, I didn't notice such a correlation. The asphalt is pretty even in that regard on my commute. I DID notice that it sometimes braked for cresting hills, which is something older versions of FSD used to do, presumably being cautious because it can't see...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Original 10.2 safety score beta tester here; got the 12.3 update last night. My short morning commute was pretty solid. FSD finally drives at an appropriate speed in my neighborhood (~15 MPH). On v11, it would try and blaze through at 30-40 MPH. Stop sign/creeping behavior is still kinda...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I'm on 11.4.7 but haven't used it outside of highway driving. If we're to believe Elon when he tweeted (Xed?) that they ignore nearly all of the data they receive, I've decided to save myself the frustration and check out for a while. That being said, it did give me a nice chuckle this...

    Tesla building generative AI models and starting Dojo production next month!

    Agreed, but I'm also convinced there are times when Tesla stops taking data. I've had drives that included multiple interventions and disengagements with audio logs on my part, but when I checked my router a couple days later, next to nothing had been uploaded. So, it seems that the Tesla...

    Snippiness 2.0

    Just saying - I used to enjoy reading through these threads...and I still do, but it's getting harder and harder to sift through the pointless bickering for actual content. Seriously, this one thread has added like 4 pages in the last couple hours. That's, um...impressive? And here I am...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Cool! Also, my uncle totally works at Nintendo and says the Switch Pro is coming out this summer and is launching with a brand new Mario game with ultra-realistic graphics so Mario can look like Chris Pratt ;)

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    FSD does this for me too around a certain tight, blind curve in my daily commute. It's MUCH better now than it used to be, but it still goes over the line a bit more often than not.
  11. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I agree 100% with everything you said. I still think it sucks that FSD is non-transferrable :). Pretty sure it's because the software clearly isn't finished by any stretch of the imagination. Once they have an actual, finished product to sell that's no longer in beta, then this...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    There's a crest on my daily commute that's been an issue for FSD for many versions now. In addition to fairly hard PB, it also used to jerk the wheel like a madman, but that piece has thankfully gotten better with v11. I always override the PB with the accelerator, but this is the sort of...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I can't say I've noticed any appreciable difference between 3.3 and 3.6, so I'm surprised to hear so many saying it's significantly worse. The bug fix point patches rarely have any noticeable changes, in my experience.

    Latest FSD - Autosteer not available

    You're both right in your own way, but regardless, this is a pretty super-annoying bug. I've been unable to determine any rhyme or reason as to what makes the icon flicker, but once I manage to successfully engage, it stays engaged without issue. This leads me to believe that there aren't any...
  15. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I've noticed this too, though I'm not sure there's an on-purpose distinction. The only constant I've seen is that if I disengage at the end of a trip, I don't get prompted. Otherwise, it seems that I get prompted the first time I disengage, but only some of the time thereafter on the same...
  16. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I've only taken a few drives so far, but it seems like I only get one chance to provide voice feedback per drive. I'm not prompted on subsequent disengagements, whether or not I left feedback for the first or not.
  17. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I think the question is, was it passing on the right willy-nilly or was it an actual "justified" passing from someone going too slow in the passing lane? I agree with you on the latter, but in MOST cases, FSD shouldn't be doing right-lane passing.
  18. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I'm one, and I got it yesterday morning. I really think the selection process is random at this point in time.
  19. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Nope. My son was 6 months old, and I was driving. The other driver was a teenager - not goofing off or being irresponsible, just inexperienced. He didn't see me while merging onto the highway, and I swerved to avoid a collision, but counter-steered too hard and lost control. The teenager...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Honestly, I can take a joke, and I get the humor in this. But maybe if your son had died in a car accident, like mine did, you wouldn't find it quite as funny, or laugh at those that get offended. People suck at driving even when they're NOT blatantly distracted. The sooner AV's can reliably...

    I don't understand how NoA is supposed to work

    I will add, the wheel torque thing is annoying but it gets better the more you get a feel for what it wants. Although, I've never used the yoke...I imagine that might make it worse.

    Hop in your Time Masheen to 2024, friend - President Camacho will make sure FSD is in good order! https://www.statesman.com/story/entertainment/movies/2023/03/11/terry-crews-president-camacho-idiocracy-sxsw-2023-austin/69997978007/

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I'd say a little of both. I, for one, thought Tesla would have made much more progress by this point in the beta. Obvious progress has been made, but it sure does feel slow coming. Maybe my expectations were too high from the start.
  24. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Yeah, there's a lot of that where I live too. All the more reason to get to AV's sooner! Honestly, if we could just flip a switch and take all human drivers off the road, autonomous driving would be an infinitely easier problem to solve. Then, nobody would need to be concerned about how fast...
  25. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I'd personally prefer something between standard AP & FSDb, leaning towards AP's performance. I've always thought AP was a bit too aggressive in making adjustments - there's no need to feel the slowdown/acceleration to the point where it actually moves your body. It should be able to quickly...

    FSD Beta 10.69

    So basically, you're Tim the Toolman Taylor and FSDb is your assistant Al Borland :)
  27. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Agreed. Every time I drive through unfamiliar parts, I'm reminded of how awful our traffic system is (we just get used to the local awfulness because we drive it every day!) I'm actually hopeful that the push for autonomous driving might eventually help clean this stuff up and standardize...

    FSD Beta 10.69

    For the first time in a long time, my car actually sent some video back to the mothership today. Maybe because I updated to 25.2 recently? It was a relatively uneventful trip. I'm personally much more inclined to use FSDb if I know I'm contributing data though.
  29. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    Yeah, that kinda ticked me off. I get the impression that their plan is "Well, we said an FSD purchase would guarantee all the hardware required to make it work, so we're going to have to deliver this...somehow, in some form...on HW3, because things have changed too much at this point to...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    It's glacially slow and cumbersome, and practically speaking not very useful at all. You have to be within a pretty close distance to your vehicle to use it. I HAVE used it a couple times to avoid getting wet in parking lots where nobody was around and that was kinda cool, but it's basically...

    FSD Beta 10.69

    Cresting hill PB has been a huge problem for me with 10.69.25 (just got .2 last night and it's still an issue). My daily drive is pretty simple and therefore I see less of the navigation/blinker issues, but this one makes FSDb practically unusable in my area. I literally have to hover my foot...
  32. VanFriscia

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    Agreed, though I'm honestly encouraged that they're taking their time with this one. Hopefully it'll be less buggy than we've come to expect in the beta!
  33. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    Well, it used to be the case that FSDb would designate the car in front of you as the "lead" car and would use it to help guide itself. I assume it still does, although this is a pretty extreme example of why blindly following a lead car isn't a fantastic idea. If only there was a video...
  34. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    Just curious - for all of us losers now without a snapshot button, are your vehicles uploading anything to the mothership anymore? Since getting 25.1, mine has uploaded basically nothing...maybe a tiny bit of metadata here and there, but certainly no videos. This is despite a lot of...
  35. VanFriscia

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    So long as the software doesn't suck, I'd argue the internal camera should be a much better indicator of driver attention vs. steering wheel nags. The wheel doesn't detect hands, just torque, which has caused a plethora of problems from users both trying to legitimately use the system and from...
  36. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    It already does this to some degree. Early on in the beta, it altered my route to work because it consistently failed to make a certain left turn, every single time. I've also seen it plan fairly silly routes to avoid making moderately difficult UPLs.
  37. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    Sure can, and that's most often what I do. It's an admittedly painless intervention on my part, but NoAP should still be able to do that on its own nonetheless. FSD should surely be able to do this, eventually.
  38. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    I agree 100% with your assessment. I'd add one more gripe to your list though - NoAP does a lousy job with traffic merging from an on-ramp into its lane. It never speeds up to accommodate this traffic, nor does it temporarily change lanes to make room. What it DOES do is wait until the last...

    Full Self-Driving (Beta) toggle is now in wide release as production vehicle software including MCU1

    I'm on 10.69.25.1 (software 2022.44.30.5) and got in on the initial wave of safety score testers with FSDb 10.2 (I think it was 10.2?) My release notes don't say Early Access Program, nor do I have the report button anymore. Guess I'm no longer special!
  40. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    Yes, that's one area where recent updates have shown a nice improvement. It still takes the curves too slowly in most cases, but the lane keeping is infinitely better. My biggest issue with hilly roads now is phantom braking was reintroduced at cresting hills. If it can't clearly see what's...
  41. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    I wonder if that 10k threshold (1), is a hard number; and (2), will include highway AP driving up to this point. I feel like 10k city driving is a really high benchmark. My daily commute to work is less than 14 miles round trip, and most of my drives otherwise have passengers in the car...

    FSD Beta 10.69

    Interesting...in my case yesterday, I did some city driving in Maryland that I don't typically drive, and a lot of backroad/mountainous driving in PA. The backroad stuff typically generates a lot of data, and I imagine, as you said, not a lot of Teslas pass through there, let alone Teslas using...

    FSD Beta 10.69

    Here's an interesting data point - I drove four hours today, much of it on AP & FSD. LOTS of interventions of every kind. My car has uploaded basically zilch to the mothership. Are they done caring about this version's data from us peons already? Maybe we're closer to getting something new than...
  45. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    Seconding everything @sleepydoc said. Tesla REALLY needs to provide more guidance on what FSD is capable of before going wide. Having been in the beta since 10.2, I can't even fathom turning it on in snow & ice-covered roads. That's basically a death wish lol.
  46. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    So, I got 2022.44.25.5 last night. I was one of the few FSDb people that got the 10.69.3.3 update, which I had for literally about a week before getting this one. Which begs the question - why did they even bother with 69.3.3 with anybody? Did they really get any useful data from that version in...
  47. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    I generally agree with you, but I also think there are some things I can't reliably intervene for when I'd really like to. One example - leaving my development, FSDb always stops WAY ahead of the stop sign, then slowly creeps up to an actually useful spot where you can actually see traffic...
  48. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    I don't believe the release notes have changed from the last version. Although I suppose I could be wrong, because it all reads as the same gobbledygook word salad gibberish to me every time lol. That may not be true of everyone, perhaps just those of my limited intellect!
  49. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta 10.69

    I'm downloading 10.69.3.3 right now as well...
  50. VanFriscia

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Nah, he's much more likely to say two weeks vs. one. By that logic, we should expect it to come in half the usual time, so if 2 weeks = 2 months, then next week might = 1 month ;)
