I've given up long ago getting worried because of Chuck's penultimate ULT. This intersection is like the final boss in a video game. You can beat it some of the time through repetition, because in video games you have infinite lives. Unfortunately, Tesla drivers are not cats.
There are too many issues at that intersection to use it as a test bed for ULTs. The side street visibility is poor because of obscuring vegetation. The highway has a 55 mph speed limit and there isn't a nearby upstream controlling traffic signal. The median barely fits a vehicle. That last factor is irrelevant because FSD beta presently only stops in the median through its own poor judgement.
But besides all that, it's clear to me without a side-facing camera embedded in each headlight, there just isn't enough lateral visibility with the present camera mix to enter a highway at an unprotected intersection where the vehicles are moving at 25+ m per second.
This extreme intersection type begs for Tesla to implement a crowd-sourced hazard reporting system. Else, FSD will constantly enter situations where it doesn't belong. If a hazard is reported, other drivers can review and comment as to its validity and then Tesla can decide whether to include the hazard, so the navigation will avoid the location. This is creating an anti-waypoint, so to speak. Short of crowd-sourced information, at least let the driver save anti-waypoints so the car will avoid them.
It is a total failure with the sorta exception of the last try. VERY discouraging and sad to watch and SCREAMS that there is no way we will have Level 3 this year much less L4.
