I'm just trying to say that individuals can not really accurately estimate how well FSD is doing overall.
While I agree with the entire post, I cherry picked this statement for a reason...
This is kind of a re-post on my part, but it has been a while since I've talked about it. With that disclaimer out of the way...
FSD Beta is nigh on unusable where I live. HOWEVER, if I drive 135 miles south on I-15 to Las Vegas, it behaves
completely differently. I have far fewer interventions and disconnects using FSD Beta in 'Vegas than I do here.
People tend to think the experience they have with FSD Beta in their local area is an accurate representation of the current overall state of FSD. This is not correct; it will do better in certain geographies than it will in others.
Peeps should keep this in mind, as I know that if I used my own experience using it locally as my only source of judging how well/poorly it works, I must say I'd be pretty disgruntled over all.
As it stands, I remain cautiously optimistic. I think Elon and the boys are going to get us there, but IMO we are
at least one hardware (and camera suite) iteration away.
IMO, Dojo will tell us a lot. Once they're able to get a Dojo training suite up and running, it'll really let us know how far the current hardware, cameras, and software are going to take us.
Edit: For those that don't know, Hardware 3.0 has two redundant FSD computers. They were supposed to run the same code simultaneously, and develop independent decisions, comparing their output against each other for redundancy. Unfortunately, they ran out of compute, and are now using the second FSD computer as additional computing horsepower rather than its intended redundancy use.
