Well what would your definition of "necessary" be if it weren't to avoid an accident?!
Good luck explaining to a cop that it is necessary to swerve between lanes in the middle of an intersection.
He does something interesting in post production on this video. Starting at about the 27-29 second mark he magnifies the display which makes it very easy to see. Nicely done and great for the viewer.
I suppose some people might think staying on the correct side of double yellow lines is usually necessary, but I guess to be fair, FSD beta did switch over to the right side pretty quickly without intervention.
Cool stuff. I’m impressed with how it handled the parking lot overall. Speed limit for the residential street at the end needs to be fixed. There was no speed limit sign for it to detect, so it kept it at 45, which isn’t good when it’s a narrow residential street with driveways and a large potential for cars to be backing out or kids running into the street. They’re probably going to have to somehow have the car figure out context in situations like that. And the weird double stop signs in his neighborhood are definitely an edge case that Tesla needs to figure out how to adapt to. But still very impressive.
But the point was if he was being safe and ready to intervene. Seems to me that he let the car make a mistake but I'm still not seeing anything that indicates the individual is being wildly unsafe. He's seeing how the car reacts and taking over when necessary.
I have HW3.0 and I also get some phantom braking occasionally. Not clear yet if FSD beta folks are seeing much of this or not.
Looks like we have an answer to his threshold for "necessary!" Driving on the wrong side of double yellow lines for 10 seconds and getting high beams flashed twice at you before taking over.
It is pretty neat that FSD beta does drive around the slow moving person pulling the pallet.
