FSD 12.5.6.2 Update for Cybertruck next week

[rgs28ja]

It's probably just the different steering geometry of the Cybertruck, and I'm sure it will be improved in short order. Tesla probably just needs to tweak the steering outputs from what the model is telling the car to do.

That being said, it's not something I've experienced. I have more of a problem with driving too close to the right side and the truck being too conservative with speed. (The speed issue will likely be fixed soon with selectable driving profiles, and the right-side issue will probably be fixed over time with additional training.)

Interesting about your experience is hugging the right side. FSD does a good job of allowing me to take over the accelerator but hopefully those driving profiles will eliminate the need to have to use the accelerator. It obviously defeats a lot of the purpose of FSD …

One comment about visual only sensors. There are plenty of technologies and instances where visual-only can fail. Ignoring the technologies that can make something appear completely differently, my first experience with FSD was an emergency handoff because we had rounded a corner and the setting sun blinded me and FSD. Because I was not prepared to drive it took me a few secs to be able to take over. Not sure how a pure visual system gets around that.

FSD cameras actually handle blinding sun (as well as dark conditions) very well, because (as Elon explained) the cameras do their own image processing based on the raw pixel output. Tesla's computer sees the "raw photons". This is different than the camera on your phone or even the video you see on the car's screen, which has undergone a ton of digital processing before you see it. So when you see photos/videos blown out because the sun overwhelms the dark parts of the image, that's the phone's image processing that is doing that, not the camera.

Interestingly, Tesla just mentioned just this morning that it won't be just the cameras for long: FSD will start using microphones in v13 to pick up audio. For example, FSD will be able to hear a police car with sirens blaring and react just as you would, assumedly by slowing down and preparing to pull to the side of the road.

I am finding on the speed control that if i am on a road with other traffic, it adjusts and drives as I would (over or under limit). if I am on a posted 55mph road and there are no other cars then it seems to want to Toodle along at 45mph, so I have to accelerate between each corner to get it to pick up speed. Its everyday on the same roads to and from my work and has been with both 12.5.5 and 12.5.5.2

Having the same "45 in a 55" issue. Though that pales in comparison to my red-light runner of a truck?

I got disengagement on FSD on a mildly dusty road.

I don't know how they can solve the problem though with Tesla's vision-based system.

Lidar, used by Google-Waymo had a way of penetrating those obstruction and paint a 3-D image of what's beyond the obstruction.

I hope the new version solve it and the dangerous encroachments on sharp left and sharp curves (slow down too as we humans so).

Lidar is laser based radar, it’s still light, it can’t penetrate things that light can’t. If vision can’t see through it, light can’t. Radar based systems can though. Bummer Tesla removed that.

Per Ashok.

It would seem he didn’t intend to imply this pertains to the Cybertruck.

it would be nice if the forum had a sticky post that indicated the most recent software version rolled out for the Cybertruck.

That would be nice. Can anyone report what’s been seen recently installed on CTs? Asking 11/13/2024.

Teslafi has all of that information for versions and rollout stats.

Can you give a link? I can’t find a model-specific page. Just that there are 185 CTs in the ‘fleet’.

When I look at that site, it has filters for other Tesla models, but no filter to see records that pertain only to the Cybertruck.

To the best of my knowledge, Cybertruck is now on software 2024.33.15 with FSD 12.5.5.2

It’s there in the drop downs

I have had several instances when the setting sun shines directly into the front windshield camera box and then it says FSD error, take over immediately, puts the flashers on and a b8g red steering wheel shows up on the screen. It is a downside of a vision only system. I'm not sure how cybercab, unsupervised fsd will work if the setting sun can disable it.

The main reason teslas got rid of lidar is not due to efficacy but rather cost. I'm not necessarily faulting them for making their vehicles more affordable but trade offs are a unfortunate part of life.

Thanks for sharing. I guess I can’t see the drop down to select the Cybertruck because I’m not a paying subscriber to the site.

Ah ok. That may be it.
Overall you can really drill into what’s coming out. How long you wait from release to install. Look at it by region. AWD, Beast and so on. Lots of options for anyone interested in looking at data feeds.
It’s certainly worth the small monthly fee.

At least we got a map update ?

I just picked up my truck on Friday.
The factory firmware doesn’t have Auto Steer, Lane Departure Assist, or any park assist features at all. It doesn’t even beep or show anything on the visualization when I’m about to back into something.
