So I just had a horrendous drive into work this morning in my Model 3 on FSD Beta v. 10.12.2 - one of the worst and most nerve racking I've had in a long time. It started to make left turns in front of oncoming traffic twice - one time blindly following the car in front of it despite the fact that that car was also turning into oncoming traffic. And, after a right turn on green arrow, it came to an abrupt stop (not PB - I mean actual stop) just after completing the turn in the straightaway with a big pickup truck right on my rear bumper. Of course he thought I was brake checking him and it almost caused a fight.
Another unusual thing about this morning is that it cleaned the windshield multiple times and would occasionally just activate the wipers. I think the sun angle and intensity was playing havoc with the front cameras. And this brings me to my question: with all of the "praise" around v 10.12 and everybody saying they are getting close and all that, could their be something specific with MY Model 3 that is causing MY FSD to behave so badly. I haven't noticed any improvement in the last few versions of FSD Beta - nothing really any since 10.8, and after this drive I believe that 10.12 is actually worse. I mean if it's software, then it seems the car would have said "Something's wrong - I can't drive right now" instead of just putting itself into these extremely dangerous situations.
So how is one to know if there's something wrong with, e.g., their cameras or their windshield in front of the cameras, or a camera harness that's causing intermittent/bad data, and the like? I think the car needs an FSD diagnostic where the user sets out targets downloaded from the Internet and printed on their printer, and then lets the car run through some testing to make sure everything is copacetic. I mean if it turns out that the software is just worse, I would understand that - it's happened before. But it would be comforting to know this is just one of those "one step forward, two steps back" things and not that my cameras have gone pear shaped. (And yes, I do recalibrate on most updates)
