Full Self Driving....new video

What I really want to see from Tesla is the normal speed video as well. It's impressive, but hard to evaluate at that speed.

That looks great ,but why the hell do I have to put my hands on the wheel every 10 seconds in my AP1 car (going in a straight line) and this guy is hands off for a 20 minute twisty curvy ride.

How about "You can't always get what you want"?

Good one. But, I guess I do get what I want in this case I downloaded the video and slowed it down to normal speed. It appears that the video speed is roughly 5x normal (other than about 1 second at the beginning and a few seconds at the end where it is normal speed) and it is about a 10 minutes drive.

The interesting thing I noticed is that while the Tesla does a really great job of driving (in not very dense traffic), it doesn't observe the speed limit very well. There is no place along that 280 route in San Mateo where the speed limit is 75 mph. The car is going 75 in a 65 zone. Not terrible, but enough to get a ticket from an aggressive cop. I lived there. Cops love to stick it to you in that area. On the exit to Sand Hill road, it goes 55 in a 40 exit zone. Then again doing a few miles over the limit on a main road, within reasonable speed range, but still over the limit.

Bottom line, a fairly impressive drive.

I suspect they set it to purposely do over the limit to stop the complaints about "FSD drives too slow". You may recall that was a common complaint about summoning.

That looks a lot like the video from several years back when Tesla was first showing AP.

Yup, I was thinking that as well, and I hope you are right. I wouldn't want the car to break speed limit laws by default just because people like to drive faster

Well, yes it does and that is because it is a similar, yet not completely identical route they took.

My EAP will go 5 over up to 55 then, I think 120 mph is the limit of EAP... I say I think because I haven’t found a place for me to check it out that would be safe ;0-

I thought the limit was 80 mph. At least my MX won't go over 80.

Its on youtube, just slow the play speed down to .25 and you will see it close to normal speed.

thanks. good point for those whom want to see normal speed. I wanted original video for better resolution, so I got it and slowed it down. Also, frames get lost when slowing down on YouTube so it is jerky, yet gives a decent idea.

I can confirm it will operate above 80 in my 2018 S100D v9 2019.12 ;0-

EAP limit is 90 mph regardless of whatever firmware you have.

Ah good to know. It used to be 80 and before that I think it was 70, so maybe my car now does it at 90. I haven't tried it since my last interstate trip.
