Video #67 - Tesla - FSD Beta 10.69.2 - NE Minneapolis Test Loop
This video contains footage recorded on the evening of September 11th, 2022 of FSD Beta 10.69.2 driving me around the full version of my NE Minneapolis Test Loop. The drive started out fairly smooth however shortly after crossing into North Minneapolis we experienced several issues, one of which resulted in a disengagement. Detection of and confidence with VRUs is noticeably improved in 10.69.2 however several problematic behavioral traits still remain which result in some additional disengagements or interventions.
