"I find it bizarre that I would have to wait for new software because I have hardware that they don't need to use."To be clear, that's rolling a right - at a red light. It was apparently not unsafe, but it was clearly illegal. We've seen that sort of thing before, and I attribute it to either confusion about whether the light applied to the turn, or Tesla didn't filter out all the examples of people rolling rights. I noticed that there was a marked "island" on the asphalt. I wonder if that confused FSD.
Model 3 Long Range with HW3 and ultrasonic sensors here. I got 12.3 in the first wave, but have so far been passed over for the latest stuff. I find it bizarre that I would have to wait for new software because I have hardware that they don't need to use. Just give me the software and ignore the USS. Who cares?
The car does not need USS signals but it cannot just simply throw them away. They probably have to program to disable the signals and handle unwanted noises. Otherwise the whole system may have problem and Tesla has to take responsibility for that.
