Had this excellent series of decisions in downtown DC traffic last week (v12.3.4). Just wanted to share, cheers.

My car's been recognizing and letting cars in for turn signals since v11. Yesterday, it also let a semi in, which got a very appreciative thanks from the driver.Pleasantly surprised that FSD recognized and understood blinkers from an 18 wheeler truck ahead of me and to my right lane .
My car was trying to accelerate to catch up to speed limit since my lane was freed when a slow car in front of me got out of the way. The truck to my right and ahead of me, then wanted to get into my lane and my car recognized the blinkers and slowed down just enough for the truck to safely switch into my lane. Good job.
I saw the same response. Except it was reacting to my turn signal as seen in a trailers reflectors. The trailer did not have signal lights.Pleasantly surprised that FSD recognized and understood blinkers from an 18 wheeler truck ahead of me and to my right lane .
It's welcomed but I don't have high hope. Like other previous v12.x it was tested by employees in only less than 3 days. I will not be happy if it does not fix at least 3 dangerous bugs.It has begun!

I find it very hard to see if their steering wheel icon is blue.I have been trying to look see other Tesla drivers lately to see if they are using FSDS and I have yet to confirm anyone using it.
If I'm following a Tesla and it remains dead center in the lane, except for perfectly smooth miniscule shifts away from large vehicles, I take that as FSD in action.But seriously, I'm always curious about who's using FSD, but how do you tell?
Exactly! Elon letting everyone try FSD 30 days for free may backfire on him, because those who have never used FSD before and then have a bad experience won't want to use it again. I have a friend who road with his brother 6 months ago who has FSD, and he didn't think it was good all. So he would never buy it even when people tell him it's much better now.If this had been my first time using FSDS I'm not sure there would have been a second time.
For L3 you need to be ready to take over within several seconds. So no way the driver can take a nap. Doesn't matter what you personally claim you can do, it's based on the average person. Most average people can be interrupted from a book or movie and regain awareness in several seconds, but not when they are napping (not unless they did special training like for example in the special forces).Having observed all the back-and-forth here about what L2/L3/L4 and the word "drive" mean, I thought I had it pretty straight. Yet I'm finding myself now involved in a little FB debate over whether L3 requires the human to be "engaged" while it's doing the driving. My conclusion from the SAE chart is "No", if I were behind the wheel while an L3 system is driving, I could be watching a movie or reading a book...or (and this is the part being debated), I could be taking a little catnap. The other guy says, basically, I can't take a nap because I have to be ready to take over at any time. Is there any clear guidance on what "must be ready to take over" really means w/r/t that? I think I could take over about as quickly from a semi-conscious state as I could from being in a good book or movie...
The length of warning for Level 3 is "at least several seconds" (J3016 3.12 Note 3; 3.17 Example 2). Nowhere in the standard is there a requirement that it be at least 10 seconds (or any other specific number).
Note: The ALKS standard does impose a 10 second minimum (ALKS 5.4.4.1.) However, there is no requirement in SAE J3016 that vehicles conform to that nor other aspects of ALKS that are not identical to what is in J3016.
But that's because the purchaser of said computer would also have to buy Windows if it wasn't included. But Tesla dont have to buy anything from anyone to add FSD to a car. And so it would be with Microsoft, why would they pay extra money to buy a computer with Windows on it?Why it would matter that it's software? If it has no resale value I suppose it should have no first sale value either.
I would expect a used computer without Windows to fetch less money than one with Windows already installed. Likewise for a new computer.
Of course, and I'm not saying you should. The point was the assumption people made that the car would ALWAYS brake that way no matter what was behind them.But I couldn't trust it not to do that when there was someone behind me. And I wasn't about to put myself into that situation to find out if I can trust it.
Projecting one negative experience as a trend is silly. My son and son-in-law are now both considering subscribing to FSD after using the free trial offer. Previously both had negative experiences as passengers in my car using FSD V11. Projecting my example as a trend would be equally silly. Time will tell.Exactly! Elon letting everyone try FSD 30 days for free may backfire on him, because those who have never used FSD before and then have a bad experience won't want to use it again. I have a friend who road with his brother 6 months ago who has FSD, and he didn't think it was good all. So he would never buy it even when people tell him it's much better now.
The important question to me is, does it EVER hard brake unnecessarily with someone dangerously close behind? At least since V12? Like, has anyone here had that happen?Of course, and I'm not saying you should. The point was the assumption people made that the car would ALWAYS brake that way no matter what was behind them.
I'm assuming that you're assuming the free trial was only to get subscribers. There's another benefit .... thousands (maybe more) of more miles of data input.Exactly!
