    Ross Gerber shows Dan O'Dowd that FSD is much safer than a human

    too many software engineers in this thread sidetracked on whether FSD would have stopped or not. the bottom line is that with only feet left between the car and the stop line, regardless if a human brakes or the car brakes, that is going to be very forceful deceleration, way more jarring than...

    FSD 11.4.4 wide release??

    clearly a case of English as a second language, but pretty sure the poster means: when initiating a turn, the car jumped the curb.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    ok I used to think people casually misused "break" for "brake" because they are pronounced exactly the same. But now it appears some people actually think "break/broke" is the correct word. It's "brake/braked".

    FSD Beta v11.x

    maybe already said here, but I really hate that there's now an audible chime when I override speed with the accel pedal on the highway. I think what I will do is disengage every time it does it and send in a report telling them to turn that sh*t off.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Based on my router stats, my model 3 has only been uploading data to tesla if I submit a voice feedback. The chunk of data is substantial (over 1gb, though it varies a lot, maybe video quality, time of day, compression, etc). But I haven't seen any spikes that aren't accounted for (an...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    i have a lot of these kinds of situations here, without the raised beds, dang. but yeah, seems like some low-def map data can definitely assist with things like this. Expecting vision to figure it out on the fly every time as if it was the first time going there seems like there will always be...

    Tesla wins bellwether Calif. trial over Autopilot car crash

    I'm not saying our justice/jury system is perfect - we are only human - but from my own personal experiences of serving on a jury, along with the experiences from my close friends and family, we all agree that the jury really tries hard to get things right. When I think about the class of...

    Speculation - if/when Tesla merges FSD to the production branch, what will that mean for AP/EAP?

    Actually I think the main problem with AP is that back in the day when ownership was low, we all knew it was only intended for highway use, and if you enabled it on a local street, you better be super alert. Over time, as AP got better people just assumed that it was intended to function on...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Trips were lost. Homelink was lost. i had to reprogram my garage doors. My custom car color was lost (lol i don't care too much about that). Wonder why this kinda data can't also be kept with the cloud profile.....

    FSD Beta v11.x

    this happened to me 2 weeks ago. exact same thing. a typical harmless 2 button reset resulted in blasting HVAC and loss of profiles, settings, homelink, trip meters, etc. Car somehow did a factory reset. You can get cloud profiles back easily. Your personal one will sync on its own. For...

    Elon Musk and others urge AI pause, citing 'risks to society'

    I would highly recommend giving this a read for those who 1) have a curiosity about all the AI fuss 2) just want to be well-educated on the subject without feeling like reading college-level textbooks https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.html It's long, but it's...

    Elon Musk and others urge AI pause, citing 'risks to society'

    Let's assume ChatGPT (or insert some other democratized AI here) today somehow got to a level of sophistication that it's not just the fringe AI experts calling for a stop. Given that many people, businesses, govt and foreign entities are adopting the engine for their own AI purposes, who do we...

    So why hundreds of thousands of Tesla buyers are OK paying for features and not getting them except, at best, much much later?

    When you buy a Tesla as an informed customer, you should know that Tesla intends to update your car's firmware for a really really long time. As such, "features" in traditional cars, which remain stagnant for the lifetime of those cars MUST come delivered with the car. Since Tesla is...

    @AlanSubie4Life would be appalled at your following distance choice. I'm with you though. in my area, you have to use the lowest following distance. And even at a "1" setting, there will be a stream of people constantly cutting me off, and the people behind me get pissed because I'm slowing...

    Elon Musk and others urge AI pause, citing 'risks to society'

    The people against unregulated development of AI are not saying general AI is right around the corner. No one on earth knows when or how we achieve AGI. We are still very much in the realm of narrow AI (ANI). The learning curve needed to achieve AGI is steep, but technology can progress very...

    Oh I recognize that. That's the scene where Maverick in his P-51 Mustang takes out two F-22 Raptors. It's not the plane; it's the pilot.

    Elon Musk and others urge AI pause, citing 'risks to society'

    I think both are clearly in the narrow AI realm, for now. Here I would say the pen is mightier than the sword. Sure an AI controlling a big thing like cars can hurt people, but it is very limited in its damage through safeguards in its design. Natural language processing when abused (coupled...

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    verifiably false. friend of mine doesn't have the old camera snapshot button but has gotten the voice prompt after every disengagement. Better question is if there's some method to when it shows up (type of disengagement, environment, etc). -edit- another possibility: that feature was not...

    Vote for a Recall of FSD 11.3.3

    way too many anecdotes of improved experiences for v11.3.x for me to think your issues are systemic. I've actually never seen any FSDb version get this much positive feedback. I've been using it since 10.2. you can feel free to contact NHTSA, but this feels very much like a 'your car'...

    Elon Musk and others urge AI pause, citing 'risks to society'

    sounds like many people in this thread need to do some basic research on AI before forming an opinion. at a bare minimum, understand the difference between general AI and narrow AI, and how vastly different the approaches are, and the consequences.

    Elon Musk and others urge AI pause, citing 'risks to society'

    there is a distinction - the call is for a pause for the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI). FSDb is very much still artificial narrow intelligence (ANI), and these are not the AIs that are going to hit the singularity and suddenly become super-human intelligent.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    a continued rollout means they've ungated new cars for the firmware. it's not complicated. Last ungating was Mar 27. People who are slow to install does not mean there's a continued rollout.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Optimus is actually a latin adjective, so the ending will follow what word its describing (bot). Unfortunately, "bot" or "robot" were not concepts that existed during the time Latin was still a living language. However the Greeks at the time wrote about "self-acting, autonomous, mechanical...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    false equivalency. You can take your hands off the wheel for quite some time without a nag, esp if your speed is slow. You can also look away for a good 10 seconds before the car nags. But phone distraction is much more strict, by design. I don't have v11, so I can't speak to how much more...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I have never seen a pedestrian on this road. No, the slow speed limit is to help cars pull out onto this main road from their residential street. There are no sidewalks anywhere. It will be a long while before the L4 companies attempt Boston. I'd wager it's the last major city they'd...

    @Dewg: just now I was searching for a news headline I read about a few years back about native Boston drivers intentionally terrorizing any cars with out-of-state plates. During my search, I stumbled upon this amazing gem of an article, written in freaking 1985, explaining why the driving is...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I will say that one thing I leverage FSD for is when I come upon a super slow car. At that point, I engage FSDb and just don't think about it. The people behind me are fuming because now they have to pass 2 slow cars. but F em. I'm relaxed and chill. I would love for autonomy to solve all...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta, and I learned how to drive there (got my permit and license). It was perfectly acceptable to drive the speed limit in metro Atlanta. Sure you have impatient people too, but mostly they hold it in and just grumble because honking is just so rude. So I've...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    In aggressive-driving cities (I'm from Boston), you'd be expected to take up all the free space in the merge lane and merge in last-minute. If you don't do it, there's a horde of other cars behind you that will once you merge in early. It's part of the culture, and zipper merging becomes very...

    V11 Actual Experiences

    Yeah it pops up here and there, but for the most part, we've moved to version-specific feedback threads (like this one). probably a better way for people to find content rather than perpetually have a single thread. But there's enough spam and crap in any thread (like this post - sorry!) that...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    The zipper merge isn't a regulation or requirement; it's the most courteous way to merge when two lanes become one. More so on local street where neither lane had a greater right-of-way than the other. People who tailgate to prevent a merge are considered the masshole by those around them...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Wait what? you've never heard of a zipper merge? What do you do in the TONS of situations around here were 2 lanes suddenly become one? In my town, they used to just have a sign that represented "right lane ending." Now they replaced it with an "alternate merge" sign, which is the zipper...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    quick refresh for the newer people: It was immediately clear 10.3 had problems. Lots of people reporting auto emergency (phantom) braking at high frequency, and other glitches where FSD just crashes and doesn't come back for a few hours. Tesla immediately halts the release, rolls SOME people...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I think it's the other way around. For as long as I can remember, there has been an exclusive "early access" group that Tesla chose. They originally signed NDAs and Tesla pushed test firmware to this group for feedback (way before FSD). Naturally, if you have access to such exclusive stuff...

    Availability of 2022.45.11 containing FSD 11.3.2

    haha, it's not a throughput or bandwidth issue. It's a rolling release to ensure Tesla can minimize impact if a serious problem were to arise early in the release cycles.

    Washington Post: How Elon Musk knocked Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ off course

    It may have in some situations but not in others. I might be in the minority here, but when radar was disabled, my highway drives became PB-free. no more false positives at overpasses and signs. I don't necessarily agree that Tesla Vision is a complete dead end; it's just that it wouldn't...

    Yeah, you're a waterfall guy. I started my career right when mainstream waterfall was dying out, so I have some experience with it. I'm sure there are still waterfall companies out there, but they wouldn't be considered mainstream tech today. The dotcom boom of the late 90s and subsequent...

    Tesla Vision should be here by the end of March

    sure, i have no issues with that viewpoint. I'm simply pointing out that the thread title was super ambiguous and had no idea the OP was referring to USS at all.

    Tesla Vision is a philosophy that most if not all sensors required to help the car drive on its own can be achieved through cameras.

    Do you enjoy using "Autosteer on city streets" (current pre-release FSD) -- a poll

    If I were forced to use FSDb for every single drive, it would not be enjoyable. That I have the choice to engage it when I want to rely on it, or just to see how it handles certain situations makes it enjoyable. I like tech, and even if FSDb is far from perfect, I like watching its evolution...

    Do you enjoy using "Autosteer on city streets" (current pre-release FSD) -- a poll

    It's because not everyone had your experience when radar was removed. The system got better for me (no more phantom braking at overpasses and signage). Also, if you're referring to highway driving (which is out of scope for this thread), the codebase has been pretty much untouched for about 4...
