I downloaded the FSD beta update a few weeks ago, then a few days ago updated to 2021.36.8.10. Yesterday when I was driving it wasn’t behaving normally and I realized that FSD was inactive and the car had reverted to AP (Essentially it would stay in the lane on the highway and ask me to confirm lane changes but nothing else.) Partway thorough the drive FSD transiently kicked on, evidenced by the multi-colored lines on the display, then kicked off again.
When I took another trip later in the evening, FSD worked perfectly (or at least ’normally! ) I hadn’t gotten any notices about being in time out or FSD being disabled; the only thing I can figure was I had my dog in the car and she’s heavy enough to trigger the seatbelt warning that pops up on the screen. Maybe FSD won’t activate if everyone’s not bucked in?
On the plus side, it seems like the driver attention sensing worked quite well when I was in plain autopilot.
