FSD Beta v11.x

The next big milestone for FSD is 11. It is a significant upgrade and fundamental changes to several parts of the FSD stack including totally new way to train the perception NN.

From AI day and Lex Fridman interview we have a good sense of what might be included.

- Object permanence both temporal and spatial
- Moving from “bag of points” to objects in NN
- Creating a 3D vector representation of the environment all in NN
- Planner optimization using NN / Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)
- Change from processed images to “photon count” / raw image
- Change from single image perception to surround video
- Merging of city, highway and parking lot stacks a.k.a. Single Stack

Lex Fridman Interview of Elon. Starting with FSD related topics.

Here is a detailed explanation of Beta 11 in "layman's language" by James Douma, interview done after Lex Podcast.

Here is the AI Day explanation by in 4 parts.

Another weekend stuck on 10.69.25.2

Join the crowd.

But Sunday isn’t over.

Wanted to share that my FSD update was available this morning. My car is going from 2022.44.100 —> 2022.45.14
p.s. if this is Elon’s April fool’s, I’ll cry

11.3.4 is still going out and to a wide variety of previous installs (including some non-FSD folks - new purchases?). TeslaFi.com Firmware Tracker

Not shockingly…my v11 is now available but I’m road tripping and have yet to find the Wi-Fi I need to upgrade it. Can’t wait!

Use your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot and download it while driving?

I just finished testing 11.3.5 this morning. Overall it's much better than 10.x.x.x. Lane changing is smooth on both city streets and freeways.
Failed in most situations when the car is required to change lane to the short strip at the corner to make right turn. When turning from the street with 50 mph, the car attempted to move to the right but it did not recognize the dedicated right turn strip, therefore it did not move to the turning lane completely. It attempted to turn wide and a car on the moving lane honked. And it almost turned to the dividing line of the 2 way street. It disengaged and swung the car to the right lane.

Failed to enter freeways twice because the entrances are just 90 degree left turn lanes. This is a tough situation. Many freeway entrances in my are two 90-degree or crooked lane turns.

When exiting the freeway to 45 mph street, the car only recognized 20 mph limit after it's already on the street.

Park assist seems nice although I have not had chance to test thru.

This works, have done it while driving for a software update once, and a map update once.

Tesla's April Fools joke on you... hopefully you still installed.

Too bad it's not V12 yet since that will be robotaxi ("should be before the end of the year") and you could just install and have your car drive to you.

I'm being "April Fooled" as well

I hate 10.69.

I was out there the last two weeks. The old San Diego area bridges and onramps/offramps were poorly designed albeit for a different era but it's sad many were never updated.

This rollout seems to be in fits and starts. Maybe related to the adderall shortage?

Standing by for “v12 is just needs some polishing and will be out in two weeks” tweets

The city broke. They don't even want to fix many pothole streets.

Going to be there in May. Anything I must checkout and anything I must stay away from?

Same. Visiting my son who has a 3 with no FSD. The plan was to have him subscribe and he could test it while we're together - but he's holding on 2023.2, so no FSD beta would be available anyway.

 

[JulienW]

....anything I must stay away from?

Looks like potholes especially while on FSD Beta.

Not driving to there lol, a bit too far for my liking

There are many things in SD to see: zoo, wild animal park, beaches, mountain trails. The city at night is fun. Parking in the city is difficult but in other areas is easy. Most tourist areas are safe so you don't have to worry.

I just got 11.3.4 and I can't wait to see if it slows down fast enough to avoid a speeding ticket when the limit changes.
