I don’t know how the car reads the maps but I wish there was a way for it to know when a lane was ending. It will pass into a lane that is ending.

Also, Near my house there’s an intersection and on the other side the lane on the left ends. I always stay in the right lane but fsd chooses left and has to merge at the last minute.

It also has to read signs. There’s a weird situation where there’s 2 lanes but they have a sign that says turn only in the right lane. But the lane doesn’t actually end. Instead the car will stay in the turn only lane and piss off people turning lol
My biggest concerns for FSD, after what you say about lanes of course, are being able to read/react to warning signs (e.g., curves ahead, railroad crossings, schools, etc.), and moving to the right and stopping for first responders. Oh, reacting properly to flagmen should be added to that list. But handling lanes properly would go a long way to earning my trust.

Partially true. Tesla gets most signs from the fleet now. They still use the OpenStreet info and Google maps as a base, but the fleet reports signs, road hazards, road conditions, traffic, etc and presents it to your car at the beginning of a drive and then resends information periodically about every 2 min according to Greentheonly.
Always known this and the one thing I would want CarPlay for is Waze. I think it would be cool to automatically see a cop posted up and add the alert to the map. A better version of Waze not needing to manually enter them.

If Elon is to be believed, that will not happen with Teslas.

Don't trust FSD at least until Tesla says you don't have to watch over it anymore.

That would be foolish.
I didn't mean that I would trust it not to screw up. I won't even let it drive me after an intervention, and there are too many of them. I didn't mean that I intend to drop my attention. I meant trust that they are truly moving in the right direction.

That said, I occasionally do foolish things. I am not proud of it.

Thats the rub isnt it? Most humans are better and more capable drivers then FSD, but where FSD and other automated driving assistance wins is their unrelenting attention on the task. There isnt a second that they are not scanning and adjusting. No crying kids, or phone notifications to distract them.

The problem is when the driving assistance doesnt know what to do. For example, my Model Y always follows the right lane marker and does an uncomfortable jerking every exit on the highway, if I am in the right lane.

Right now I see FSD merely as a helper to allow the driver to lose focus in short bursts, as they normally do, but more safely. It doesnt feel close to the dream of sleeping in the car on my way to work.

This aged like milk. And what's worse is that none of us are surprised.

I honestly don't know a single Tesla owner who ever takes what Elon says as gospel. If you put your life on the line based on the timelines he sets, you're [email protected] ain't gonna make it!

You are thinking about AP with the +5 mph.

FSD has never had this restriction since I started testing in October of 2021.
You've never had a strike if you happen to accelerate and pass someone at over 85 mph have you? Trust me, it's there. My wife can attest to it as well.

No. Because that doesn't cause a strike. It just disables FSD for the remainder of the trip which has happened to me maybe 10 times.

Doesn't negate that 90 is max with radar on NoA(not FSD which is vision).

I don't think that has been rolled out yet. If it has, it's still new and not used by the majority of the fleet.

I think Tesla needs their own map software. The cars are driving everywhere and recording all the time. It's just like what google does. So can't they just take all that video and use it to navigate? Now that there are so many Teslas it seems possible.
