Autopilot

Tesla’s Autopilot experienced its safest quarter since release, according to the company’s quarterly safety report. The report showed that vehicles operating on Autopilot were involved in an accident one time for every 4.68 million miles driven. That performance bested Q4 2019, where Tesla...

Tesla May Discount Basic Autopilot for LRRWD Model 3 Owners - Tesla Motors Club I am honestly not even planning on upgrading to FSD right now but this made me think. If I paid 3K for autopilot at my time of purchase and now that feature my be reduced for those deciding to opt in later...

Tesla plans to roll out a “reverse smart summon” that would enable vehicles to drop off owners and park without a driver.  The automaker currently provides a feature for the vehicle to leave a parking space and find the owner, but the expanded feature would eliminate the need for an owner to...

2020.12.5.6 is starting to roll out to non-EAP owners, and this version apparently has Traffic Light and Stop Sign control features. If true, this could be huge. Souces: Twitter TeslaFi.com Firmware Tracker

I can't find a similar thread, so if it is germane here, great, if not, could some kind soul point me to the right procedure? I am as confused as a milkman at a crematory. I won't rant about the Mexican Education System (Each One Teach One) of learning how to operate a Tesla. With the periodic...

Tesla vehicles using Autopilot will be able to detect traffic lights and stop signs within the next few weeks, Chief Executive Elon Musk said in a tweet. Tesla previously released a “Stop Light Warning” that alerts drivers if the car’s sensors believe there’s a chance of driving...

Looking to sell our wonderful Model X 100D. Here are the details: Purchased December 2017 (therefore it's technically a 2017 model year). 24,000 miles Dual Motor All Wheel Drive Midnight Silver Metallic Paint 22" Carbon Turbine Wheels Black Premium Interior with Dark Headliner Premium Black PUR...

3 weeks since I got my 2020 Model S Performance and already 4500km on the clock, two drives Sydney Melbourne and some local driving did that. Very happy with the general stability of the autosteer, drove me to Melbourne and back from Sydney essentially on its own. However... (note this post is...

I got my car last week and was really looking forward to TACC and trying Autopilot. My issue is when there is an actual car in front, the car is very jerky. I can see the car on and off the throttle to try and maintain distance (I assume within a razor thin window?) or the delay in which it is...

I am posting this to see if it is a common occurrence with these road markings or situation and maybe Tesla can learn from it. 70mph 4 people 3 woken up from it :D, car suddenly pulls hard to the left I grip and it gives to the resistance and put myself back in line. I did not indicate to turn...

Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk took to Twitter Sunday to do some recruiting for the company’s artificial intelligence team. As part of a pitch to attract talent to the Autopilot team, Musk said he will host an AI “party/hackathon” at his house.  Tesla says the Autopilot team’s mission is to...

TACC and Autopilot will probably never come out of Beta because of legal issues. That being said, they still need some work, so Beta is probably the best way to describe it. What's your opinion?

I've owned a 2017 X90D since May of 2019. I bought it on 35k miles, it's now on about 41k. There is lots about the car I love. Free unlimited supercharging and being able to charge the car at home for next to no money is fantastic. I think I'm probably saving between £3-5k a year on running...

Has anyone else notice the degradation in TACC while in stop and go traffic? I’ve been using autopilot for over a year now commuting in LA traffic and the last few days (including this morning) TACC has been very jerky. The car will bounce between accelerating and regen while following the car...

Tesla has been overselling and under-delivering full self driving (FSD) for years since AP 2.0 was introduced. Self parking is pathetic and advanced summon is a joke. The lane keeping and adaptive cruise of autopilot are near perfect on the freeway, and okay off the freeway. Then we have a...

Het valt mij op dat met dit weer (vochtig, iets boven het vriespunt) de camera aan de voorzijde heel vaak beslagen is. Herkennen jullie dit? Dit is een foto van mijn camera na ongeveer 1 uur rijden: Het gevolg is dan ook dat AP of ACC niet beschikbaar is. De rest van het raam is volledig vrij...

When I see some of my friends who are getting Model 3 late in 2019 (and now in 2020 too) that includes 'Free Autopilot', I kinda keep thinking/hoping that someday Elon will give that same functionality (Enables your car to steer, accelerate and brake automatically for other vehicles and...

Just saw this in my feed and it should make us all want to stand up and correct the paranoia of the average (idiot) drivers out there, the majority of whom are much less safe than Tesla's earliest iteration of Auto Pilot. Especially in California! Here's the article: Something Needs To Be Done...

Hey everyone, my wife and I have been talking about getting her a used Model X while we wait for the Cybertruck and is got me thinking: I've researched and learned so much about my Model 3 over the years that I don't really know the autopilot situation with the X! When we're looking for a...

Really curious

Well, this was my first try.. it came a few inches from the other car with no sign of stopping, and the front wheels were still turned. The good news is that it stops instantly when you let go. Also confused why it needed to make a 3-point turn. v32.11

I was wondering what is your opinion regarding Autopilot's full features being unlocked if the UK leaves EU and obviously not under EU regulations anymore. Do you think it will happen? Not interested in a brexit debate :) Just hoping that we will sometime in the future enjoy the full features...

Ok I have a strange question. I’ll be taking my delivery in the evening and by the time I leave the Tesla Delivery center, it will be dark outside. How accurately will the autopilot function work if it is calibrated at night vs during the day?

For a while, I thought it'd be good to indicate that I'm on Autopilot. A blue light, maybe? "You're arguing with a computer"... After lots of thought, I ended up settling on this. It matches the same font and style as the notifications in the car, because why not? Also, one in white as it looks...

Tesla has pushed a new update that offers new features for Autopilot like speed adjustments and stop sign warnings. The new features continue to advance the software toward a “feature complete” version of Tesla’s full self-driving version of Autopilot. Chief Executive Elon Musk has said that...

I have a 2018 Model X P100D HW 2.5 on software 2019.40.1.1. I am scheduled to go to the SC tomorrow morning to get my HW 2.5 retrofitted to 3.0. I have been hearing complaints about HW 3.0 and accompanying software and how there's not really any point in getting 3.0 yet. Should I have them do it...

So here’s a new one. 2019.36.2.1 AP1 last few days has popped up a message “accelerator pressed, cruise will not brake”, which I’m used to seeing if I actually accelerate on autopilot, but this time I’m not pressing either pedal. The first time it happened, I instinctively pressed the...

I was driving on back road highways in N Pennsylvania the last few days. I notice that when in autopilot, the car would automatically slow before entering a sharper curve or when visibility was limited ahead due to cresting a hill. I had NOT noticed this auto-slowing before. (note: I...

I've bought Tesla MS with FSD package a year ago (HW2.5). I know in the U.S. and Canada Tesla started retrofitting FSD with the new HW3 computer. Any info when they gonna start doing it in Japan?

Impressive stuff watching the Tesla avoid obstacles and respond to different edge case scenarios while on smart summon...

Is anyone else having trouble with their rear cameras since installing V10 on their S? Mine has been intermittently working (blacking out for the most part) since V10. This also has impacted Smart Summon (doesn't work) and causes crashes in the AutoPilot software such that I don't trust it...

The period between driver "nags" for hands on wheel during Autopilot has dropped from about 40 - 45 seconds to 14 - 16 seconds at freeway speeds! This is really getting excessive. I thought as V10 progressed, Elon had said they would slow down the rate of nags, not increase the rate. When...

I am more convinced then ever that smart summon is using Open Street Maps (OSM) for parking lot mapping. This has been posted before but I want to share my results. I had 2 local parking lots that smart summon was awful at. It made horrible routing decisions. I read online that Tesla might be...

The symptom is the loss of voice commands while the car can still be used as the bluetooth connection to the phone. Parts Replaced or Added Part Quantity ASSY,AUTOPILOT.ECU,3.0, MSX-FUSED(1655000-70-G) 1.0 ECU 3.0, what is this? I was supposed to have a mobile service tech fix a problem...

Yesterday we finished a 1200-mile round trip to Oregon and back home to Sacramento. Nearly the whole trip was on I-5 (that's "the 5" for those of you from SoCal). I'd estimate that we used some level of AP on about a thousand of those 1200 miles. So I thought I'd share some thoughts. Read if...

Tesla’s $6,000 Full Self Driving option will receive a $1,000 price bump next month, Chief Executive Elon Musk said in a tweet. While Tesla is happy to sell the Full Self Driving feature, owners who elect to purchase the technology can’t use it for full self driving. The full promise of the...

Today my Model 3 suddenly started refusing to change lanes while in Autopilot. When i make the signal, it shows the clear space, but just. refuses.to.go. It does it on NoA as well. I tried several times on both highway and regular roads..same thing. I rebooted, cleaned off the sensors a bit and...

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing problems with their rear camera since V10? Since getting V10, when I put the car in reverse, the camera will be flaky - on, off, flicker, freeze, come back on. It also seems to be affecting AutoPilot and Smart Summon. I've had AutoPilot software...

Today I was on a freeway in Los Angeles in my Model S. Rolled down the exit ramp, but not in Autopilot. As I approached the signal at the bottom, I was rolling thumpety-thump over the lane markers, both left and right at the same time. Does anyone know how Autopilot would react to that? I was in...

I just returned from a 45 day road trip in my new Model 3, which was over 20,000km (12,400 miles) all over North America. In the video below, I covered some of the best and worst things about taking a Tesla on a long road trip. If anyone here is thinking about taking their Tesla on a long...

Who gets the ticket in this case? Tesla, the car or the owner? Like a lot of YouTube channels, DragTimes decided to test the presenter’s Tesla Model 3 on Smart Summon. But it did not go as expected. Brooks Weisblat did not see a police officer, ran a stop sign, and got his car pulled... READ...

So the reason I bring this i up is: I've been getting "Blindspot Detection Limited" warnings since a week after I got my car in Dec. 2018. They usually came up completely randomly and lasted all day. They've replaced pretty much everything related: Every camera (some several times), the camera...

If every car in America had Tesla's autopilot, 5.5 million crashes would be avoided each year. On active safety alone, 5 million crashes would be avoided each year. Insane how much better these cars are than the average US driver... The Spring on Instagram: “There were 6,452,000 car crashes...

Tesla is reportedly retrofitting vehicles with its next-generation Hardware 3 computer that the company says will make autonomous driving possible. Tesla owner Sofiaan Fraval shared on Twitter that his 2018 Model S P100D went into the the Tesla service center to replace a HEPA filter and came...

My LR AWD 18" wheels with 10K miles (2019.28.3.1, Autopilot, no FSD) recently had a new tire installed on the rear driver side due to the acoustic foam issue. It was replaced at the tesla service center. Couple of days after the installation, the car started swinging left and right in autopilot...

Wife: "Why is it so jerky?" Me: "Well, it can decelerate somewhat abruptly while on freeway interchanges..." Wife: "It's not just around corners, it's all the time on the freeway; why do you use it if it is so bad?" Me: "Well, I'm trying it out; I think maybe you notice less if you're...

What I find frustrating in these articles is the rather bland reporting about driver warnings prior to a crash. Example in this article includes "The report found that the driver’s hands were not on the wheel for the vast majority of that time despite receiving numerous alerts. Autopilot was...

Has anyone in a Model 3 who did not buy FSD at the point of purchase been able to upgrade after the fact? I asked in a Service Centre and they said that it's initiated from your Tesla account online however I do not have any option to do this (or even see the price of doing this). They are...

Last weekend, my spouse and I were on I-95 in northern Massachusetts, moving along at a moderate speed in fairly heavy traffic (doing perhaps 45-60 mph), in our 2015 Model S70D. We were in the second lane from the left on a 4-lane section. A major exit was coming up on the right, a short...

Yesterday's edition of the Wall Street Journal said that automatic braking systems may be dangerous because they may apply brakes when there is no evidence of danger. In other cases, automatic brakes don't stop when there is danger. My SO agrees. She never uses Autopilot because of numerous...
