ould you tell me the firmware you’re using (FSD 12.3?)? And is it Chill, Standard or Sport driving FSD option?
FSD 12.3. Assertive. I can try the less assertive modes, though I doubt it will make too much difference.
Would you get a different different result at Chill?
I'll try, will report at some point. The problem is that on assertive one has to be constantly on the go pedal, so it's tough to see how less assertive would help. But I definitely will change it. These options typically make little difference in fundamental behavior, though of course they change following distance, etc. More distance SHOULD help, but I've found that it usually doesn't. Need to check with v12.3.
What part of the Country are you in
San Diego County, Scripps Ranch, Mira Mesa, Sorrento Valley. Should be pretty similar to North County, except with more potholes and more run-down houses.
Remaining segments. Nothing special or notable.
Mostra to TJ's Hibert St., about 6 miles. About 5 disengagements. One for inappropriate stopping, one for bad lane selection, two for missed or taken exits, one for bad route getting out of Mostra lot. Lots of interventions of course.
Recognized and responded to TJ's speed bumps.
Missing uncomplicated freeway exits (degraded v11 somehow?). Taking the wrong freeway exit prior to that (was last second enough that I didn't bother to stop it since I could just get right back on). Obviously not using v12 on the freeways but something is degraded in the handover. SB I-15 Mercy Rd, and Mira Mesa (took Mercy incorrectly, missed Mira Mesa before I took over and made the exit)
Fundamentals:
Can it go? No. It is too slow to follow lead traffic sometimes. Sometimes it follows too closely. When it finally picks up the pace, it is nice and assertive though.
Can it stop? No. It slams on the brakes sometimes and fails to anticipate movements of vehicles ahead, and doesn't seem to be paying attention to red lights. I had a brake slamarama with traffic coming to a stop at an obvious red light. It has the new stutter step decel: very mild jittering of the amount of regen on light regen stops. It can't stop in the right place as mentioned.
ELDA activated as I was trying to parallel park manually. That's new.
Hibert St. TJ's to home:
Residential route. Just ~3 miles. Did ok overall, nice lane changes to get to residential neighborhood street.
Nearly got in a collision
at a stop sign. Failed to be to the left (straight was the intended direction) when someone behind was coming up and wanting to turn right. It was slow to the stop, which of course I overrode. But I let it stop and go. Because it sat for so long doing who knows what, driver behind did not anticipate that I would still be there when they came to the stop. And there wasn't room to squeeze by, so they had to slow to avoid collision (was close). This is the danger of incorrect and broken stopping behavior. Need to drive correctly. Stop assertively and gently, then go. It's not that hard. A human would always be to the left here when they know traffic is coming up behind. It's the decent and safe thing to do.
UPLs are good except when the left is clear and it heads out to the median island way too leisurely
We haven't really seen any difficult UPLs. So far in easy conditions he's 7/12 or so (the dawdle to the median was the source of most failures). He hasn't really done much testing with traffic from the right. Hopefully he'll do another video soon, but will have to wait for the work week.
My UPL this morning was better than last night. No traffic and an easy scenario. It half used the merging lane (straddled the solid white line like a pro - not what I would do, but whatever, there was no traffic). I'm fairly certain I will have to disengage nearly every time with traffic (cross traffic is 55-70mph; it's a legally unenforceable 45mph zone as mentioned previously). Will find out soon enough.

tested 10 times. Perfect arc coming in each time.
Is that a Yankee thing? 
Never heard that term before.
