Autopilot and Traffic Light Detection?

[HellsKitchen]

Something I've noticed while using FSD is that there are some traffic lights on my usual routes that the system announces (Stopping for traffic control or whatever) before you can actually see them. Has anyone else noticed this?

I guess the easiest answer is that I am wrong about them being visible and the car does in fact detect them with Vision. But is Tesla possibly relying on some sort of map system as well?

I’ve noticed that too, when taking highway exits, so I assume the data the coming from maps.

While there may be some data coming from maps, keep in mind that the car does not necessarily display everything it sees.

Right, but I meant that I couldn't see it. I just knew it was coming up because the route is familiar.
