It's a priority for Level 4/5 and Waymo does this currently. Elon has talked about it in the past.
- Hand gestures by road crews - Virtually never have this. Not sure why it should be a priority

I think the original idea has been to get to a tech that gives you human level performance and can be licensed out to other companies, and so should be as independent of the geometry of the vehicle as possible. Once you start introducing cameras in the bumper, HD radar in the front, radars in the corners, USS, etc. - yes you will make this particular car better and safer and even closer to self driving, but it's probably harder to license this type of kit because it requires quite a lot of work retraining the nets and adapting them to another geometry, can it be that this is why Tesla is sticking to the Vision only approach?I've long advocated cameras in the headlight assemblies, but I don't think it's only for 90° side view. Just as important is the ability to get the best angle to look at the high speed oncoming lanes, past left-turning vehicles, signs in the median or other obstructions. The forward view of oncoming traffic, from a camera placed at or near the left fender, is far superior to the forward view from the existing forward facing cameras mounted in the center of the windshield.
Considering the headlight or similar front corner location, a camera with a 110° view, angled left at 45°, would take in the side view and the front view.
Another way to do this, which Tesla seemed to be moving towards with early HW4 prototypes, is to include a forward-looking camera in the repeater as a companion to the existing rearward-looking camera. For side viewing it's not as far forward as the headlight, but it's still well forward of the driver's view. There are other possible variations, for example front and rear looking cameras at the current wing mirror location (even though the mirror itself becomes obsolete). It looks like Tesla may be experimenting with that also.

- Emergency vehicles - FSD used to 'recognize' emergency lights but it was virtually always wrong. Haven't seen it recently, though.
IV seen this once so far on v12.3.6 and it was correct. Was night time and CHP had someone pulled over. Was recognized and slowed down.

- school zones - discussed here before. There is no consistency, even within a single town or school district, and humans are frequently unsure how fast they can drive.
- School busses - absolutely. Shouldn't be too tough.

- Peed control - this should be the first 5 items on the list.

2024.3.25 peeps we have been chosen, we are the new testers
I know it's easy to play armchair quarterback and say there was plenty of time to take over but this one really does seem like there was plenty of time to react. The person on Twitter says they were starting to take over but too late, he does admit that it's all his fault but posting it to warn others.This might be one of those FSD non-accidents. It's a shame as the driver had time to disengage 12.3.6 prior.
Why So Serious!?I said this 3 days ago.
Getting everyone off V11 1st.
I'd be curious if the driver had his foot on the accelerator as well to speed the car up........if the car has a route planned at a certain speed, it could be that if the accelerator was also pressed somewhat, it could throw the planning askewI know it's easy to play armchair quarterback and say there was plenty of time to take over but this one really does seem like there was plenty of time to react.

He claims FSD was already taking the turn too fast.I'd be curious if the driver had his foot on the accelerator as well to speed the car up........if the car has a route planned at a certain speed, it could be that if the accelerator was also pressed somewhat, it could throw the planning askew
Always been curious. How does he Know these are actual testers vs him just stalking every Tesla driver in the neighborhood?Tesla might need to open an office in Chuck's neighborhood given the time and effort they are putting into it. If these TSLA team visits were software release validations we'd be on v13 by now.

I believe that the cars have manufacturer plates.Always been curious. How does he Know these are actual testers vs him just stalking every Tesla driver in the neighborhood?
