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.

Here is a useful blog post asking a few questions to Tesla about AI day. The useful part comes in comparison of Tesla's methods with Waymo and others (detailed papers linked).

I bought FSD almost 7 years ago, I finally got my first chance to use it just last week, because my wife bought a new 3 that has a 3 month preview(11.4.4). I'm trying to convince them that they should leave it active on the 3 until such time as they deliver it on my S. I think the request is too sensible for them to accept. Tesla prefers the courts, SMH.
Anyway, my first drive (about 6 miles) included 5 accelerator presses (it really can't handle 4 way stops) , 3 disengagements(tried to make a couple illegal left turns), and a strange trip through a parking lot. After 7 years, I expected more.
Oh, the auto-wipers were going nuts. Had to disable the auto function.

Wait at least a week after varied FSD driving before you make a final judgement on how well or how poorly you believe FSD drives.
 
To be frank, I would have bet money that the S/X would have been worst - as Tesla optimizes for the volume models. I can not imagine the Y version being, “worse” than the junk running in the refreshed model S.
The biggest non fsd difference is the regen. MY has way stronger regen then the S... wtf are they thinking? S owners don't even have the option to turn it on or off or make it stronger. Why would we not have the option for heavy regen????

Got 11.4.7.3 yesterday morning, drove 367 miles on it to Mt Kisco delivery center to trade in my Y on a 23 Y LR AWD. Wipers still goofy, it did drive pretty well, lots of on and off heavy rain, so a lot of “degraded performance”, and speed limited due to weather.

Drove another 367 miles home on 11.4.4 in the new car. Before the cameras were fully calibrated (about 72miles from Mt Kisco), I hit a deer, FSD was available when I pulled over to check the damage out. Pretty bad, but car drove fine, so I filed an insurance claim, accident report, and kept driving home. 11.4.4 did well, wipers were still a little goofy on 11.4.4 (2023.32.9). Way less phantom braking than 11.4.7.2/3. The matrix headlights are an improvement over the reflectors, even though mine are all fvcked up and one is pointing at the ground, lol.

Just got to get the car fixed now. Oh well.
 
I feel uncomfortable defending the Tesla rain sensing approach because the IR source-sensor pair works so well for sensing rain in other brands of cars.

However, the Tesla approach probably could be made to work better. As the windshield becomes covered with droplets of rain, the front camera's vision becomes blurred, unlike the quoted sports analogy above. The Tesla approach attempts to adjust wiper speed based by comparing changes between successive front camera video frames. That all sounds good on paper, but in practice it has worked poorly.
It’s never been great but it’s definitely been better than it is now.
 
Hi everyone,

I’m considering a Tesla again and have been primarily waiting for Phantom Braking to go away (mainly on the highways). From what I can tell, it’s significantly better using FSD 11.7.4.3 than the standard, non FSD stack. Is this correct?

How is phantom braking on long road trips now and what does it feel like? Have any major incidents happened to you while on FSD code using Autopilot/TACC on the freeway?

I just finished a 3500+ mile trip with my Model Y. FSD did the majority of the driving, and I think phantom breaking occured twice, very quick instances.
