First FSD Strikeout - May not like my reading glasses on the end of my nose, maybe thinks I’m looking down?

If it’s reading glasses, take them off?

Depending on traffic, road, and conditions, I can drive manually just fine (might slow down a tad) with peripheral vision for 15 seconds or so, more than it will tolerate when "supervising".

But not everyone can multitask safely (requires strict priorities). So they're erring on the side of caution.

it is not even 5 seconds for me.

Maybe 5 seconds or less that FSD complains you're not looking straight ahead. Which is less than some people can do without FSD at all. But other people aren't great even when the are looking straight ahead (ok, a couple of seconds to check mirror and instruments once in awhile). So FSD treats us all like we can't handle more than the less capable can handle.

Received my first strikeout today. Got a warning to watch the road when I was grabbing something from the passenger side, so I’m guilty but I looked forward and then in quick succession a few more warnings, I don’t recall how many, and then a strikeout and no more FSD until I reach my destination when the attached message appeared saying I have four more chances. I’m wondering if it has trouble determining where I’m looking when I wear my reading glasses on the end of my nose… maybe it thinks I’m looking down, seems overly sensitive.

On the freeway today, my CT wouldn’t let me go above 85mi/hr and it displayed a small message saying speed was limited to 85. I couldn’t find a setting or anything, is this related to my strikeout?

No. That's the max speed for Tesla's vision based Autopilot, whether it's FSD or Autosteer.

It used to be 80.

Maybe my FSD is less sensitive than some of you guys. When I use it, I can glance to the left or right for several seconds with no warnings. I also have adjusted my music and navigation while using FSD with no strikes.

I ain't complaining.

Those warnings always depend on conditions. If there's heavy traffic, you'll get less of a window. If it's a very difficult situation, like traffic + construction, it's absolutely unforgivable.

The monitoring has been this way since early V11.

Is there a way to change the settings or turn something off so I can drive faster than 85? As when passing, etc…

Then how do they read the instrument display?

Turn FSD off, pass, reactivate.

You wouldn't want a driver to drive faster than they felt safe to do so, why would you want the computer to do so?

Still hilarious, paying $7k to $8k to have a car attempt to drive itself for your convenience, then the car is always more worried about you watching it, than it watching the road?!

If you have to watch the car and the road while the car ensures this is happening at all times, then FSD is pointless!

Thanks for the advice, I haven’t been using FSD much lately due to my strikeout. Kinda of gun shy I guess and I have been turning FSD off and back on when I want to make aggressive maneuvers or reach around the seats for things now. I did finally realize what was going on with the 85 speed limit when not in FSD, a rookie mistake on my part. I mistakenly turned on Parental Controls while exploring the menus a few days ago that was defaulted to 85. Also, took me awhile to realize why I was getting phone messages that the truck was getting close to the max speed and last night while driving home late got an after hour curfew message. That finally prompted me to look through the menus again and I found the setting. I admit I’m not the sharpest tack around but it would be nice if Tesla displayed a banner of some sort when parental controls are active or may be I missed it, instead of just a small warning “Speed limited to 85 mph” that appears when the speed gets close to 85. I was almost ready to make a service appointment for it

Looking at the rear view mirror on the screen got me a couple strikes already. Looking straight out the windshield after the blue warning and movement of the rear view mirror on the screen to the right doesn’t always trigger the “I’m now paying attention “ neurons.
I’m either wearing glasses or sunglasses, so that might be a factor.

Not a fan of the buggy paying attention neural network.

I think the issue is everyone thinks they are a better driver than average.
Others are idiots for texting and driving but people think they are good enough that they can do it carefully. And they can scan the road with their peripheral vision until…. the gods of chance smite thee and prove them wrong. The FSD monitoring logic isn’t impressed my our misguided arrogance and it’s made me a safer driver.

FSD gives driver profiles a safety score; the higher your score the less it will nag you.

Not sure if you're joking or not. I've seen no proof of this anywhere.
