Um. I'm driving FSD-b, y'know, the Beta version that has City Streets.
In NJ these days, on the toll roads, it's EZ-Pass (the transponder that gets velcro'd next to the camera housing on the front windshield) everywhere: GSP, NJTP, Lincoln Tunnel, George Washington Bridge. There are some full-service toll booths about, but I don't use 'em.
FSD-b does a sort-of-OK job on the booths. Not sure how it knows, but somewhere I think I told it that I have a transponder. So far, it's been aiming at those booths and not, say, any full-service booths with a human around.
Generally, it runs up towards the booths somewhat faster than I would, but not crazily. When it actually enters the area between the concrete barriers it slows to a crawl, around 4-5 mph, goes on through, then takes 'way too long to put the pedal down and get out of there. Once it gets going it does the merge follies with everybody else around reasonably well.
Having said all that: This is the Beta, with the attached Release Notes saying, "The car will do the wrong thing at the worst time. Stay alert!" Toll booths are definitely one of Those Kind of Places, but so far, so good.
There are a few places where the road divides and there's overhead detectors for the EZ-Pass. People pass through at speed, no slow-down. The car picks those faster lanes without asking.
Went back and forth to NYC a few days ago. The Lincoln Tunnel has this wonderful (not!) Helix where, when going to NYC, cars do a 270-degree turn, go through the booths, then go into one or the other of the tunnel entrances. It's traffic cone central, what with the (always present) construction and lane moving around that happens during rush/non-rush hours. The car didn't freak out, too badly, but did jerk a bit. In the other direction there's what seems to be at least four roads that all turn into the approaches for the tunnels; with this, it got totally confused and swerved across two lanes on a multiple-lanes-all-go-right-then-merge, guided by traffic cones. So, FSD-b doesn't have that down right. I intervened and got into the tunnel, reporting to Tesla as I went. (If one is on FSD-b and takes over because of idiocy, the car helpfully prompts one and asks, "What went wrong?" If the adrenaline factor isn't too bad, one attempts to summarize the disaster in the 20-second window that they give you.) On this last incident, it wasn't quite as dangerous as it sounds: When it went across the two lanes, the traffic in front was stopped and there wasn't anything coming up from the rear, either. But it shouldn't have oughta done that, just should have gotten behind the left-lane-of-two car and stopped.
No surprise here: FSD-b isn't ready for Prime Tiime, but that's why there's software developers.
