I don't think Elon was bluffing about upcoming FSD 14.3

Still won’t let me change a song or change route without yelling

Probably swerved to avoid a piece of paper

Yep! FSD successfully dodged a lot of tire marks today, but none during my cat naps.

But yet it drives straight into suspension wrecking pot holes for me. It like seeks them out.

one thing I really liked about the eye tracking was that in the very unlikely event I were to fall asleep while driving, I thought the car would instantly alert me. Disappointing to see claims that it allows people to cat nap…

Exactly. In aviation, microsleeps are the enemy.

I've only had it do that a few time. Pretty rare, and we have a lot of "road snakes" on our highways.

But what I want to do is study my iphone, not catnap. Will it allow that? What about texting?

You can do that now, just hold your phone up so you're still looking at the road.
I see nothing wrong with that as long as you're ready to supervise and don't get locked in to your phone.

Fully allowed when unsupervised is ready, but the attention monitor wants you to be at least partially aware like @TexasDev said above.

Posture is important. Keep your chin up and level.

Yup. I find I can even wear a hat with the seat positioned properly. As long as the camera can see your eyes looking at the road you're all good.

I even rest with my hands behind the headrest, it never nags me about that.

I just got back from almost a full day of interstate travel, and I have some good news...

... I was able to "cat nap" through very long stretches in the early morning. Very sparse traffic, clear straight roads, and I was allowed to keep my eyes closed for an extended period of time with zero strikes or even warnings. Did this for about an hour and a half in total (not all continuous). Wasn't wearing sunglasses, but was sitting upright. I assume you have to have a decent posture so the attention monitor doesn't think you are completely zonked out or have a medical issue.

What solidified it for me: I caught the truck performing subtle swerve onto a rumble strip when no-one was around, and the road was clear (no tire marks, potholes, or anything else to dodge). No doubt in my mind it was testing my reaction. Opened my eyes, looked around, saved the footage, and closed them again for another cat-nap lmao. Tesla can simulate a LOT of things, but they always need to study the human factor.

No, I can't prove anything (sorry). No, Tesla absolutely cannot admit that they do these kinds of tests. You'll just have to take my word for it. Or call me a fibber, idc . Either way, gents, we are REALLY close to some awesome progress.

Wait till you hear about the drunk guy in Vacaville. Passed up .

What about him?

What kind of sunglasses are you wearing that it lets you nap? If it can't see your eyes, it will ask you to move the steering wheel.
There is a steering wheel mod that scrolls the volume up/down which satisfies that popup, but don't take it in to a service center with that still installed.

I wasn't wearing sunglasses during this test. It was just my own, closed eyelids lol. No hat either.

Though I do have an interesting fact about the cabin camera: it can see through certain sunglasses, depending on their lens material. You will get far more steering wheel nags if it can't see your eyes.

I don't even remember the last time I have seen a steering wheel nag.

So what glasses characteristics make your eyes not visible? Do we know?
is it polarization ? Mirror coating and so forth?

Every Tesla does that already. It's not a mod.
