Probably depends where you are. But traffic regulations here require you to slow down and proceed with caution at a yellow flashing light. Proceeding through a yellow flashing light at speed will get you a ticket 100 percent of the time here.

The silver lining is that by Sept 15, we should hopefully get some new FSD updates.

Just rating your post 'funny' is not enough. That really made me laugh out loud (more than once). Thanks.

@diplomat33 there will be a short webcast on July 22 for the Q2 Earnings Report: Tesla Announces Date for Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Webcast
There might be some FSD updates then.

I saw that. Thank you!! I will watch it very closely.
I am guessing Elon will give a similar update about how he thinks Tesla is close to "feature complete L5" by the end of this year. But I hope, he gives some specifics and examples of what they have solved.
Look, I would love for Tesla to deliver "feature complete L5" by the end of this year. Heck, I own a Model 3 and paid for FSD. I have every reason to want Tesla to deliver on that. I just think there are good reasons to be skeptical. The current features we have are a far cry from L5. Wanting something to be true because it is in your best interest and whether something can realistically happen are two different things. I used to be super optimistic but I got disappointed by the missed deadlines. I think it is better to try to be realistic rather than just gunning for something because you want it to be true.

Elon understands the problem. He tests the build routinely in his own car. He says he's extremely confident.
Get ready for level 3 by end of year!
Lol, it's exciting that Tesla is rapidly progressing on FSD. But I still can't believe they'll achieve feature complete by end of year. Granted traffic control works mind-blowingly well (I've had it identify lights in direct afternoon sunlight), considering the known limitations of ML.

I hope you are right. I would love to have L3 by the end of this year. But Elon was confident Tesla would have "feature complete" by the end of last year too and he was wrong.
I still think Elon is underestimating the problem when he says that fundamental challenges have been solved and it's just small problems left. Even he admits that there is a long tail of problems. That long tail can be super hard to solve.

I don't think he's underestimating the problem. He's just too optimistic that they'd essentially push the boundaries of ML to the trailing 9s. Tesla is in uncharted territory constantly during FSD development, which Karpathy mentioned a couple times during his talks. I don't think any other company has the balls or tech to release a traffic control feature now or anytime soon... I think they achieved something special with how reliable the traffic control feature is right now.

Elon was quoted in Reuters today from Tesla China about Level 5 autonomy
Tesla 'very close' to level 5 autonomous driving technology, Musk says
Typically when Elon has gone in-depth on a subject there have been some slight media hints beforehand.
Hopefully we'll see a break-down of their progress on Operation Vacataion and city street Nav. on AP on the Q2 earnings call.

He just means what he wanted originally for at the beginning of this year - "feature complete" FSD. Aka it can kinda do all the driving on surface streets with human input occasionally. Just like with the stop signs now.
Do you guys read the instructions (release notes)? System slows down for every traffic light. If you feel the car slowing down just a hit on the cruise control lever will override that. It is super easy and works great!

Elon seems completely lucid with regard to the FSD problem in this video.
Food for thought. I don't know if this is a new feature but I was approaching a stoplight intersection with the left blinker on and cruise control enabled. My 3 automatically slowed down about 300ft before I reached the turning lane to prepare for the red light even though the through traffic was a green light. I also had navigation on. Is this behavior new?

From my understanding of your post, if you have the Stop Light Detection beta active, and there was no car in front of you, this would be expected.
