Autopilot

So this is new... I've been trying autopilot on roads I don't normally use it on after the latest update. Now I see it drastically slowing down on T Junctions with stop signs. So is this new? I'd have to imagine it recognizes the signs even if it takes no action, but this slowing down might be...

Yesterday I updated my Model S AP1 to 2018.21.9 and it was the biggest mistake I could have made. On my way to work today (50 mile commute) I noticed that the AP asks me to put my hands on the wheel precisely every 21 seconds. That is INSANE if you ask me. When I picked up the car back in 2014 I...

I made a visualization of Tesla vehicle deliveries from 2008 to today, and projecting out to 2020. If ramp up continues, total should hit 1 million vehicles by Nov 20, 2019. Plus, the following is a plot showing the total number of delivered vehicles, segmented by Autopilot hardware...

My review of the latest software update 2018.21.9. Some minor AP improvement, some big visual improvements. But a very annoying nag time. This might actually be the very first time that I want to skip it.

I just got updated to version 2018.21.9 and now when in AutoPilot mode I'm getting asked grab the steering wheel every 20-25 seconds. Is anybody else seeing this on their end. It used to be like 2-4 minutes. Jason

Didn't see a thread started yet (though I only check Model 3 forums, not the S/X ones)... From Elon: Elon Musk on Twitter That issue is better in latest Autopilot software rolling out now & fully fixed in August update as part of our long-awaited Tesla Version 9. To date, Autopilot resources...

I see driving Dynamics, purchasing, handling, UI but I don't see software section. I mean really?!? The only area of the car s/x/3 that gets updated every two weeks and there is no section for the. Mods? I see autopilot, UI, maps/GPS, fsd all part of this section. Is anyone listening?

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board issued a preliminary report on a fatal March 23 crash involving a Tesla Model X using Autopilot near Mountain View, Calif. Investigators leveraged data pulled from the car’s computer that shows the driver’s hands were on the steering wheel for...

I'm not paying out thousands of dollars to get it, but what the heck, I'll give the free trial a chance. Tesla to release new Autopilot update and bring back free trials

You guys, I just experienced a beautiful moment of love yesterday. My Model 3, Elektra, was on AutoPilot, and this was on the 405 where there are frequent phantom traffic stops. Normally, I'd tap the accelerator a bit to make the gap smaller but the display showed another vehicle right in...

Since my previous video about comparing AP1 to AP2, I did get quite some questions about people not really knowing what AP1 is (the newer guys, I assume), or they just don't know which version they have. That' why I made this video to compare the 2 hardware versions and to show how easy you can...

Yesterday was my first chance to play with autopilot for an extended period of time. On the whole the actual function worked pretty well. However, I had 2 hands on the wheel at all times, but still got a ton of "hold the wheel" warnings. It seemed as if a hand on the top 1/2 of the wheel didn't...

Hi All, Looking to get a used Model S with Autopilot. Located in San Diego and willing to travel to pick it up or pay to have it shipped out. Please DM me. Thanks!

I had the opportunity to be interviewed at length by a Fox News Radio reporter (who even drove my S and X) about Tesla, Autopilot, Safety, OTA updates, and features. I tried to set the record straight on all of these issues and the story managed to come out pretty positive (as compared to the...

In my test videos I frequently talk about AP1 still being better than AP2. This tie, with the help of another Model S driver I took it to the test and compared the 2 in the same conditions. As I claimed before, the dreaded S-curve is a lot better with AP1, whereas a lane shift is better with...

No autopilot this morning when I drove. i know there was a network maintenance this am (5/29/18) for the Tesla App. I got into my car and noticed that both TACC and Autosteer not available. I verified when my car was parked that AP is ON. I almost felt like I don't know how to drive as I rely on...

I can't take this any longer. A guy posts various videos on reddit and you tube testing autopilot limits and showing himself not monitoring the situation and doing dangerous things.... is all over the internet acting sanctimonious complaining about autopilot and tesla. And then allows himself...

Somebody, anybody.... let's talk about 18.20 firmware!!!

Tesla has hired a Snap vice president of engineering to join its team working on Autopilot. Stuart Bowers will fill a VP of Engineering spot with a focus on Autopilot a few months after Jim Keller left his role as VP of Autopilot. Bowers was working on monetization at Snap, but previously...

Today is was driving an a mojor highway in Michigan (I94). The speed limit was 70 and I had autopilot on cruising at 75. Three lane highway and I was in the center lane. No one in front of me in any lane and suddenly the car slammed on the breaks for no reason. The guy behind me almost rear...

Last week, a woman in Utah crashed her Autopilot-enabled Tesla Model S into the back of a parked fire truck at 60 mph. The car was totaled, but the woman escaped with only a broken ankle. During an investigation of the crash, the woman admitted that she was looking at her phone during the...

Tesla executives, including CEO Elon Musk, dismissed engineers’ repeated recommendations to add additional sensors to cars as a safety measure when using the self-driving Autopilot feature, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The sensors would have tracked drivers’ eyes and issued an...

I recently did a round trip from Saratoga to Sacramento (128 miles each way) with my 8 months old Model S. This is the first time I used Autopilot most of the way … even in heavy traffic. Here are my observations. It was mostly smooth and work as expected. I had TACC [Traffic Aware Cruise...

Yesterday I noticed that my car was ping ponging quite a lot when in traffic jams. I thought I would share the experience on how bad it actually was. Noticed this for a few releases now. Currently on 2018.14.2 I was actually wondering if a police car would be behind me, whether I would have been...

Elon Musk said the company’s Q1 letter to shareholders covered just about all he had to say about the company’s progress and instead wanted to devote the bulk of Tuesday’s earning’s call to questions. At one point he teased those on the call that their questions were too dry, but ultimately...

Here's one for the books. Just got 3 sequential "take over immediately" warnings with the red flash and hands holding the wheel on the display. The kicker: I wasn't using autopilot. Gonna try to catch this one on video.

On my commute home yesterday the sky was the perfect shade of grey and the read was just wet enough to reflect it and make road markings seem to disappear from the autopilot camera, yet it continued to navigate curves and the roadway. The display would freak out from time to time, almost looked...

When testing this update I noticed a slight regression in handling tight turns at speed, but also found out you have to be really careful not to get curb rashes or dinged rims when using AP on certain lane shifts :-o. Came a little too close for comfort...

Tesla’s VP of Autopilot and chip guru Jim Keller is leaving, another former Apple chip designer is tapped Looks like Andrej Karpathy is taking over for Autopilot software

Can you drive around the M25 (on autopilot) using only energy from the sun? Yes you can! Total energy used 38.2 kWh, total energy supplied to car last week from sun 49.1 kWh. video coming soon.

It may not be a big deal as a car was waiting in the driveway on my right would run across my path to make its left turn. However, this is what Mobileye described that its hardware supplied to Tesla was lacking "Lateral Turn Across Path detection" (LTAP) in 2016 fatal Autopilot accident in...

Hi All, Anyone else notice after a new map install approx 2 weeks ago now, and in just 2 days AP Max Speed has been capped on their roadway? My question for the group here is: did something change in the last 2 days with AutoPilot on your roadway? I was driving local Oregon State HW 20 to...

I do not have the $4000 AutoPilot feature installed. I do have AutoDrive which has two modes--manual steering and auto-steering. I have tried to use the first mode (MS) on many occasions and have noticed some pretty disturbing issues. I'm wondering if it's just my Model X or a more pervasive...

Here's a clip showing how 2018.10.4 handles a local road without any lane markings:

I picked up my MS100D about 3 weeks ago. Once AP finished it's calibration and became active I used it at every opportunity. On day two we took an out of town trip to a Supercharger about 3-4 hours away. We had dinner while the new baby was super charging and then headed back. I used Autopilot...

After testing on 10.4 and now on 2018.12 driving an AP1 and AP2 vehicle feel almost the same. I say feel as the binnacle display still doesn’t show adjacent lanes, but just because I can’t see it doesn’t mean autopilot can’t. I suspect even though the rendering on the display is different there...

My name is Lex Fridman. I'm leading an effort at MIT aimed at analyzing human behavior with respect to Autopilot by using computer vision to analyze 300,000+ miles and billions of video frames of real-world driving that we collect in Tesla vehicles. We're finding some very interesting and...

So, I picked up my Model 3 last Saturday at Marina Del Rey and had the pleasure to meet a delivery specialist dressed more nicely than the others. He apparently had a higher management position and only appears for deliveries during the end of quarter rush. Anyways, during the tour of my car, I...

I have this issue where the AP display on the IC renders the car ahead to the left when the car is far. This started with 2018.10 and continued with 2018.12 on my S100D AP2.0 delivered in June 2017 in Canada On a road with good markings, my IC would render the car ahead too far to the left when...

Autopilot was activated when a Model X crashed into a concrete barrier killing the driver last week near Mountain View, Calif., according to a release from Tesla. “In the moments before the collision, which occurred at 9:27 a.m. on Friday, March 23rd, Autopilot was engaged with the adaptive...

The 2018.10.4 update is getting everybody excited about Autopilot again. I'm wondering if @jimmy_d, @verygreen, or anyone else who has a deep technical understanding of how Autopilot is evolving cares to speculate on what we'll see next. For instance, I watched a 2018.10.4 test video where the...

Writing on the wall...or a tactic to increase sales of new vehicles...

So like many of us here, I'm budgeting how much I want to pay towards a Model 3. Autopilot is one of those options that I'm on the fence about, it's a pricey upgrade (Approx $6500) and want to make sure it's worth it. One question I want to put out there to the group, is how well and useful...

Just updated an AP1 to 10.4 and now the camera seems to be catching speed signs on cross roadways that are slightly tilted. Slams on the brakes when going 50 down to 25. I got a pic as I passes but the sign is meant for the cross traffic. It's 50 going my way. You can't see the 25 until the...

I idiotically thought the added interest of getting EAP in my loan would be worse than the 1k hit you take when buying EAP after delivery. Welp, redid my math there and realized for my situation it’s better to get EAP at 5k and not 6k. I’ve already configured the car but I don’t take...

Autopilot is SO much more advanced - love this version! Prior versions couldn't handle the 4 miles of curvy road down to the main road - now, it goes the entire way without a hiccup. It feels so much more confident, no micro movements, no moving around in the lane. Annnnndddd.... it now...

Well, I keep mentioning this new version of the FSD video. Pretty interesting, especially with respect to the pedestrians. Let the speculation begin!
