Video #64 - Tesla - FSD Beta 10.69.1.1 - Railroad Crossing


This video contains footage recorded on the morning of September 4th, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.1.1 reacting and slowing for a passing train at a railroad crossing near my house. It's been a while since I've encountered a train while testing FSD Beta so I figured I would share for those curious on how the software currently reacts to this situation.

00:00 - Persistent Issue - Excessive Hesitation At 2-way Stop At Fillmore St NE & 36th Ave NE
00:12 - FSD Properly Yields For Passing Train
01:16 - Issue - FSD Signals As If It Wants To Sneak Around A Passing Train
Also noticed the RR crossing warning lights are shown as two flashing traffic signals. You'd think they would have a specific graphic for this.

Video #65 - Tesla - FSD Beta 10.69.2 - St Anthony Pkwy UPL Turn


This video contains footage recorded on the evening of September 11th, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.2 taking an UPL turn onto St Anthony Pkwy from Johnson St NE (NE Minneapolis). I did a similar video with 10.69.1.1 and while I didn't expect any behavior changes with 10.69.2 I still wanted to re-test & share my results considering this intersection is so close to my house.

Video #66 - Tesla - FSD Beta 10.69.2 - Columbia Heights (Construction)


This video contains footage recorded on the evening of September 11th, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to Columbia Heights and back. During this drive I was excited to confirm that 1 long-standing navigation-related issue has been resolved thanks to 10.69.x! On top of this, FSD demonstrates some much appreciated confidence when navigating the construction zone on Central Ave NE especially when it comes to the lane redirections. A few disengagements were experienced on this drive however overall I continue to feel 10.69.2 is ready for wide release to the remaining 100k testers.

Welcome to Arcadia!

It is a 4-way stop at Second & California (13:02).

If you're up for a challenge... try going W/B on Huntington from Centennial Way with a destination on Campus Dr east of Holly Ave. If FSD can pull that off, make a U-turn and go W/B on Campus Dr with a destination on Huntington Dr west of Holly Ave. Be ready to take over on this one. The intersection of Huntington Dr, Holly Ave and Campus Dr is probably the most complex in Arcadia.

This video contains footage recorded on the morning of November 2nd, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.3 attempting 3 UPL turns onto St Anthony Pkwy from Johnson St NE (NE Minneapolis). There was not a lot of traffic during this time of day so I'll be posting another video later tonight once rush hour hits.

That intersection is vicious for ADAS systems because there is a stop line well ahead of the intersection with a sign saying to stop here when the light is red. The car is likely picking up the crosswalk ahead as the stop line, as it's not reading signs yet. This is one of those where I'd test it a few times and report failures, and then just disengage when I approach this type of intersection and handle it manually until the next update to see if things improve.

Yea it's a tough one no doubt and exactly why I try and test it a few times with each build to see if there have been any improvements (and always report my feedback back to the team). The latency w/ decision making seems better but still plenty of room for improvement.

Video #71 - Tesla - FSD Beta 10.69.3 - St Anthony Pkwy UPL Turn Pt 2


This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of November 2nd, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.3 attempting 4 UPL turns onto St Anthony Pkwy from Johnson St NE (NE Minneapolis). Compared to previous 10.69.x builds, there are some noticeable changes with 10.69.3 related to this specific UPL turn test that deserve to be mentioned:

Improvements:

- Pre-turn positioning is much better as FSD doesn't try to move to the right as much as it did in previous builds
- Latency with respect to decision making appears to be better

Issues / Regressions:

- FSD attempts to accelerate way too much right before initiating the left turn
- Planner now likes to aggressively move towards the outside curb as it finishes the turn
- Ego car continues to be incorrectly positioned at a 45 degree angle towards oncoming traffic

Video #72 - Tesla - FSD Beta 10.69.3 - Roundabout Torture Test


This video contains footage recorded on the evening of November 3rd, 2022 where I put FSD Beta 10.69.3 through a roundabout torture test that we previously tried w/ 10.69.1. The pair of roundabouts are located adjacent to a busy Walmart in Roseville, MN and I decided to test during rush hour to ensure other vehicle & VRU traffic would be present. During the torture test, I traverse the pair of roundabouts a total of 6 times, 3 times from each direction. I considered each test a fail if I had to disengage or intervene with any sort of driver input. After performing all 6 attempts, I recorded 2 passes and 4 failures.

Improvements:

- Latency with respect to decision making appears to be better
- Last second lane changes are smoother

Issues / Regressions:

- Planner now commonly selects a path that put us on a collision course with the inside curb within the roundabout
- Lane selection issues continue to persist and it makes it difficult for FSD to confidently traverse these roundabouts

Video #74 - Tesla - FSD Beta 10.69.3 - Columbia Heights (Shortened)


This video contains footage recorded on the afternoon of November 4th, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.3 driving me from my wife's work (Columbia Heights) to my house (NE Minneapolis). During this short drive, FSD selected the correct lane when turning right onto Central Ave NE for the first time since FSD Beta 10.10.2. On top of this promising result, FSD also confidently navigates a construction zone without any intervention from me. Based on my recent drives with FSD Beta 10.69.3, I believe there is a lot of promise with the changes Tesla made behind the scenes and I am really excited to see how they evolve with 10.69.3.1 & 10.69.3.2.

Video #77 - Tesla - FSD Beta 10.69.25.2 - Work Test Loop


This video contains footage recorded on the morning of January 18th, 2023 of FSD Beta 10.69.25.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my company’s office (Edina, MN). Since this was my first drive with 10.69.25.2 I was eager to see how hesitant FSD was at common intersections (2-way, 3-way, and 4-way stops), especially when empty. I am happy to report that this build is noticeably more confident than 10.69.25.1 ever was. While my experience has been mostly positive I continue to notice a major regression with handling of the intersection of 37th Ave NE & Central Ave NE. This has been a regression I first noticed with 10.69.25 and something that was completely fixed as of 10.69.3. Since V11 is right around the corner, I made sure to not cut out the highway portions of this route so we can compare once that build is ready for the public.

Video #78 - Tesla - FSD Beta 10.69.25.2 - Driving In The Snow


This video contains footage recorded on the morning of January 19th, 2023 of FSD Beta 10.69.25.2 driving me from my home (NE Minneapolis) to my company’s office (Edina, MN) in the middle of a mild snow storm. It has been over a year since I last posted any videos (see below) of FSD Beta driving on snow covered roads so I figured it was time. When watching the two videos side by side you will quickly notice the improved confidence with path planning thanks in part to the occupancy networks properly mapping out usable driving space (most of the time). Keep up the great work Autopilot team!
