That's exactly how I look at it. I want it to succeed as soon as possible so my parents can stay mobile as their health and vision and reflexes inevitably deteriorate. Oh--and so my colleague can let his car drive him home safely from the bar.
Not strictly true. Even with classic procedural programming, it's possible to write programs that "learn", accumulating knowledge in a database and making decisions that change based on the accumulated knowledge. A classic example is a program that "learns" to play Tic-Tac-Toe, which they had many decades ago.
chance. It’s odds and depends on the driver - a friend’s daughter was trying to park and drove the car over the curb, over the sidewalk and into the median of the street. Luckily she didn’t hit anyone.
In the first week of driving?
This is an area that has been a constant concern for me through several versions of the beta, and not because the car slows too aggresively. Quite the opposite.
It's a very subjective action. For some people, slowing more rapidly is uncomfortable and they misinterpret it as a phantom brake, until they realize the speed limit changed. For others it's too gradual, like yourself. It's hard to find a happy medium that will make everyone satisfied.
This behavior was introduced in recent versions of FSD beta. It's obviously a bug caused by fixing something else that was broken. Even using the scroll wheel to reduce the maximum speed doesn't help. The problem is so obvious that I would be surprised if it isn't fixed in the next version of FSD beta
It’s really not though. It is nearly entirely the jerk that matters to basically everyone. Unfortunately that is not minimized. There’s no reason jerk cannot be kept very low when adjusting to changing speed limits. Unfortunately it often feels like a step function. Tesla knows how to do this. Just disable autopilot and as it blends in to manual control (with no input) you get a minimized jerk profile.
I posted about this some time ago - it’s more than just ‘subjective.’ There's a road I routinely drive where the speed limit drops from 50 to 35 and it takes a full quarter mile for the car to slow down when using FSD. Of note, it takes longer than it does if using plain TACC and if you watch the energy bar, you can see the car is actually sending energy to the motors to maintain speed (the bar is not even neutral, it's black, on the right side.)
I don't think it's that mysterious. Elon said the goal right now is zero intervention drives and they'll add polish later. Once it's ready for robotaxi use they'll smooth it out. I think it's possible it's intentionally bad to keep you safety drivers in an agitated state!
Yeah it’s true, once EAP was feature complete they smoothed AP right out; now it is a silky smooth dream. Just have to be patient.
Your sarcasm is not appreciated. EAP is still beta!
Gonna be tough to get zero intervention drives as long as spastic steering movements cause disengagements, and as long as I am constantly overriding the accelerator to achieve the desired deceleration (and acceleration) profile.
They can filter those out in their data. This could also be why you no problems with the attention monitoring, they're actually using the spastic movements to weed out the drivers who think it's acceptable.
You don’t have the vision that Elon has. Once they put the finishing touches on Smart Summon they can get rid of the beta label.
Smoothing out acceleration and deceleration profiles ought to be pretty small potatoes if they would spend some time on it.
That's why I think it's intentional.
Follow in our footsteps? I really have no idea though.
