Cybertruck FSD drives me into a lamp post!!

[Cyberham]

Last night FSD almost drove me directly into a lamp post. I took over right before impact! Was already on the curb at that point. I saw it hesitating but thought id wait it out and see if it fixed itself as it was a quit road at night

Try it again.

Try it again.

Try what again? Going through that section of road?
It has navigated it perfectly in the past

That it has driven itself there provides some context. Try it again in same/similar conditions. Try to replicate it..

Looks like it got into a bit of indecision and started left-right oscillating before you took over?

I had that happen entering a parking lot. The entry lane was at 45 degrees to the layout of the aisles, if you can picture that. The entry pointed us at a car parked at the end of an aisle. FSD couldn't decide whether to adjust left and go down that aisle, or adjust right and take the lane that caps the aisles. It jerked the wheel back and forth and continued toward the car, so I took over.

The same sort of thing happened a couple of weeks later, in a different place. It really feels like it gets into a bit of indecision panic and instead of choosing a direction, just continues toward the obstacle. These two instances have triggered the only safety related interventions I've had to make in 3600 km of FSD use.

Yes it was having a seizure of sorts!! But up on the curb and straight (almost) into a lamp post was a bit much

Same thing, likely. I glanced around after to see if anyone had seen my epileptic seizure...

My truck did that while making a left turn onto a two lane highway but did not aim for a light pole. Just had a hard time deciding what lane to be in... FSD is no where near ready for unsupervised. On a major highway, the truck decides the speed limit is not 40mph instead of the posted 55 mph. What do you do, besides take over? The speed profiles and no usable in the current configuration. Sloth mode is the speed limit, chill is 2 mph over (in 55 mph zone) and STANDARD is 15-20 mph over in a 55 mph zone. WTF! I don't even try hurry and mad max any more, I don't need any tickets.
Sloth mode should be 5 mph under, chill should be 2 mph under, standard should be the speed limit, hurry could be 5-8 mph over, and mad max could be 10-12 mph over but MOST IMPORTANT, make the scroll wheel adjust the speed the way it had been, one indent is one MPH, a brisk roll up is 5 mph and the same for speed reduction. I am taking another trip down south and I am wondering if FSD ((stupid-ized), see what I did there?) will be setting me up for tickets?

It is "Supervised"

Speeds between 3-5 over the speed limit has gotten me pulled over and ticketed while on the motorcycle on secondary highways, i.e. US routes of 55 or 60mph. No mercy, no downgrading of the recorded speed, no discussion, just stern faced citing of the infraction.
I haven't used FSD in my CT despite it still being a complimentary offer in the first month of ownership. That video of the pole dissuades me from even toying with it now.

Don't let that disuade you. Try it, and you will never go back. So much more relaxing way to drive (be driven)

I had an opportunity to try it in my Y Model a couple of times. I didn't like it despite being in Chill mode. The acceleration, braking, going around corners and making right turns on red without a full stop was much how my teenage grandson drives.

I have this indecisiveness from FSD occasionally as well and it is typically in roundabouts. Unfortunately for me, I live and work in the roundabout capital of the US. I try to report it via voice feedback when I have to take over. FSD is good, but these examples tell me unsupervised is a ways off.

I have never seen my FSD not make a full stop and then move cautiously forward if needed.

My experience has been that certain round-a-bouts are trouble for FSD and I don't know why. We have one in my town where it gets it right about half the time and the other times it seems to stutter and get confused. I have finally just taken over when I drive that round-a-bout because its just to sketchy with FSD. It still needs some work.
