Okay I got through a few pages of comments since I last checked but running out of time.
First couple nights (I’m including wee hours of Sunday night/Monday morning) we’re pretty rough. But granted I was putting FSD beta through pretty tough scenarios (coming out of driveways with crests/hills, parking garages & parking lots, navigation that required turning onto a big street and immediately cross 4 lanes to get to the left turn lanes for the next turn, etc.), but yesterday driving to a work site in afternoon slight traffic and back home in the evening from a work client site were AMAZINGLY good without interventions at all. A few notes on the drive home:
1) I did not control any steering nor pedals nor turn signals the whole drive (except at the end pulling into my driveway, but more on that later)
2) I couldn’t start FSD beta while in the parking space (if you were wondering), but after reversing (and sitting a moment to see if auto steer icon would appear; it didn’t), I was able to start FSD beta while still in the parking lot
3) It drove through the parking lot to the exit (not a difficult lot to navigate)
4) A dog and its walker were coming to the cross sidewalk, but waited for me to go first. I was ready to disengage, but the car beautifully slowed (I’m guessing expecting the dog and walker to cross), but when the walking stopped, it eventually (delayed enough to maybe look a little weird to onlookers but not too long that I gave up and disengaged) pulled out of parking lot onto street and continued on its way. I’ve learned in such hesitation situations to swing my head back and forth as if I’m looking or checking for traffic or my blind spots over my left and right shoulders to give the car a little cover/excuse to take more time
5) Route included turning left from a stop sign onto a street without, a very sharp right turn to change streets, a few short miles of freeway (it transitioned to NoA and back to FSD beta just fine)
6) Pulled into my apartment complex parking garage driveway WAY too fast as always these last couple days, but it didn’t see the driveway entrance median/planters/sign maybe because of the driveway crest (it’s shown up on the screen in the past) and I had to emergency disengage to avoid driving into it. I reported that anyway (even if disengagements supposedly do something similar)
7) Just for kicks I re-engaged FSD beta when I’d corrected and straightened in the parking garage driveway. Keep in mind the destination was already reached so it was FSD beta engaged with no destination set. That’s always a fun adventure! As noted before, I had to scroll the wheel way down to 5 MPH instead of the 25 it defaulted to. It very jerkily navigated a tight turn around another median/tree, then it jerkily but eventually turned into my parking garage instead of continuing out to the street! I’ll chalk that up to luck unless they’ve trained it to be smart enough to know you’re arriving and probably going into the garage. It straightened out and proceeded (slowly because I’d set 5 MPH limit and too many kids run out unexpectedly here)
8) The weirdest thing happened at the end of the parking garage aisle where it needed to turn: the mirrors folded in then immediately unfolded out! Maybe it though a tight squeeze was coming up? I’m unsure since I wasn’t really closer to any objects on either side
9) I disengaged when it couldn’t figure out this last parking garage turn (it has jerkily previous nights) and manually drove to my space and parked
