FSD Has Good Days and Bad Says

[Nolacyber]

I’m averaging four to five interventions a day since the latest update. Some are predictable - most turns onto a street with cars parked on both sides;
CT never seems to get the radius right. Making a right turn onto a street when there are parked cars on the left can be terrifying -the CT will decide that it’s clear and pull out in front of a car barreling towards you. Embedded street car rails confuse the system - can’t make up its mind whether to follow the rails or the natural curve of the road.

This evening the CT had to take a left at a four lane intersection and there were three lanes of traffic to get over. It handled getting over amazingly well but it was one lane too far over. The CT made its own left turn lane and parked in the intersection. Clearly a ticket if a cop had been there.

I’m determined to keep using it nearly every drive in hope that it learns - and some errors are correcting themselves.

There are good days and better days but it is a challenge.

Usually if there's a constant trouble spot it will continue to cause trouble until a future update. For 2 years I had a spot on FSD that was near my house. The car wanted to cruise into a turn lane that goes into a neighborhood every time. Finally it was fixed earlier this year.

I had an issue today where the setting sun was shining directly into the front camera cluster and FSD freaked out. Red steering wheel came on the screen and then it said autopilot disabled due to system error. I made the upcoming turn myself and then turned fsd back on and it functioned fine after that.

The sun is the only thing I can attribute it to.

Check if the windshield is fogged up due to outgassing on the camera side of the glass.

Cleaning the grimy windshield under the camera shield is my weekend project. The preview image is very hazy and FSD has similarly complained when driving sunward.

Any tips on how to clean that?

Could the radius issue be linked to the rear wheel steering seeing as no other Tesla has this feature, assuming it doesn’t happen on those models.

I'll let you know after I do it lol

There's a procedure in the Service Manual for removing the whole assembly, but I will skip most of it since I really only want the shield off. It's a few Torx screws, a couple of clips, and I think disconnecting a wire. There might even be a video of it on the 'tubes?

I think it's doing great for a first release on the CT.

Most of my interventions are on rural roads. Most common are:
-Pulling out in front of cross traffic on fast rural roads. This is not an issue in the city or suburbs.
-Last minute stops for stopped or slow traffic on rural roads, things like school buses or tractors.

Then there are the behaviors that I'd like to see improved, not necessarily causing disengagements:
-Overaggressive creep at stops/intersections. Feels like a takeoff and not a creep sometimes.
-Tight turns. Not dangerous, but i can tell vehicles perpendicular sitting at lights are probably not comfortable.
-The CT is not polite to oncoming traffic on narrow two lane rural roads with no center line. It seems to only hug the right side of the road of oncoming traffic forces it to. Often oncoming vehicles REALLY hug their right side as the CT does not preemptively hug the right. The CT will just hold it's ground.

I don't think people are appreciating this fact.

It's the first release on the CT a completely different platform, camera placement, steering method than any other Tesla...and it's pretty damn good.

It will get better.

FYI here's the procedure:

Absolute dream on road trips. Hundreds of miles without interventions (or nagging). Also prevents me from missing my exit which I'm prone to do if I'm jammin' or yappin'.

What needs improvement for me (some scenarios I've stress tested to see performance, not in everyday practice):

• Difficult even for humans... turning or crossing a single one way street in the city where parking is allowed on both sides of the street and no distance enforced from the corner.
• Roundabouts are hit and miss, especially those with weird multi-lane configurations or no painted lines.
• Left hand turns can cut it sharp and turn you into an instant asshole doing a "fly-by" on someone's bumper.

Same problem with the wipers. Dry wipe for no reason.

Everyone using FSD Supervised so be prepared to treat it like you are training a 15 year old with their learners permit; except you actually have a brake pedal on your side of the car now. And a steering wheel haha

Disconnecting the electrical connectors isn't required. I clean around the dangling modules.

Nice to know you can handle dangling modules @mongo . Duly noted.
