2024.45.32.10 update installing now

[Mal]

For those whose FSD hugs the left when driving: when you autopark, how does it do? Centered, or offset?

I haven't had centering issues with either 13.2.4 or 13.2.6 (so far), and am wondering how we might compare camera calibrations.

Downloaded the update, last night, anxious to test to see if the phantom wiper swipe is fixed. Otherwise, the past version was much improved over prior renditions.

In my case, 13.2.4 and 13.2.6 likes to hug double yellow center lines. However, it autoparks perfectly centered between the lines.

I wonder if I need to recalibrate the cameras. If it continues to hug the left lane on the FM road near my house I may do a recalibration of the cameras to see if it improves this issue. It is VERY noticeable with my CT.

I recalibrated to address this issue. I made sure to bias slightly right…but I over did it. On highway, it’s too far right now.

Good news is that calibration really does something. Bad news is that it only seems to matter for lined roads. The neighborhood roads by me are very wide as they serve as flood drainage out here in the desert for the monsoons. Out man hole covers are placed towards the middle of the road and CT just loves to drive right over them…it’s super awkward because nobody drives in the middle of the road…which easily could be and at some places is a 3 lane road.

Tailgating - I can test this anywhere, but at freeway speeds the previous version tailgates sometimes and it does not need to.

I assume that FSD always follows at a safe distance. It can react as fast as any human, if not faster.

But I do find it odd when it sits on the tail of the only other car on the road. It's like when there are 100 unused urinals and the next guy pulls up to the one right next to you. It's not weird, but it's... weird

I agree it can react fast as a human, but it cannot anticipate like a human can (yet). There are often times you see the traffic ahead and something is brewing, but it is only looking at the car in front of the Cybertruck and one car beyond. It reacts and does not anticipate.

With that being said, while it can react as fast or faster, that does not mean it can defy the laws of physics. Some of the distances it follows at would not give the Cybertruck the time to stop if it needed to in an emergency. Not only that, it if it where able to stop in an emergency situation, the car behind you probably won't have a good chance of stopping. Versus, having a safe distance and slowing down...gives you and the person behind you a real chance.

This goes back to my earlier statement, I do not believe the engineers who work on the code actually drive a Cybertruck outside of a controlled environment. If they did, they would see within 15 minutes of driving on the freeway what I am talking about.

Some people are just plain and simple tailgaters in their normal everyday driving. So to them, they might think this is fine.

I noticed this problem as well, this has to be addressed. I try not to use FSD in rush hour anymore just because I don't trust it will stop in time..

I saw a YT video about a guy on a Model 3 having FSD issues until he re-did a Camera Recalibration under Service menu. I am wondering if maybe some people need to do that, since I just came back a from a 1600 mile highway row trip, and only saw the left lane hugging going past a truck who drifted into my lane.

I noticed main display is brighter and sharper after moving my brightness slider from 0 to 6% because it was sunny today and back to 0 but it is still brighter and cameras look crisper better color correction

Even FSD on the Model Y, same issue - it simply waits FAR TOO LONG to brake when upcoming traffic is slowing down. Yes, it will stop in time. But in doing so, the braking/regen action is about twice as aggressive as my usual braking. To your point above, the problem is that people behind me, unless they are 'johnny on the spot', aren't always going to stop before rear-ending me.

Agree with point above about the engineers should spend some time on actual roads, and decide if they really are comfortable with FSD's typical 'too late and too hard' braking action algos.

I have a the update and I have done about 30 miles with it. I am going to truly test it today. I have a 15 mile route that I do in the Bay Area that tests all of the things it struggles with.

1. Hugging the Left - There is a portion of my route that goes through a tunnel (Oakland to Alameda) and if you are in the left lane, it almost rides on the yellow lane reflectors. It hits them every now and then, but what is scary is the tunnel wall is not far off from that point and the Cybertruck is very close to scraping it.
2. Sudden Acceleration - Also on this route transitioning on the freeway from 580 to 980, if you are in the left hand lane when it gets to the "apex" of the turn, it signals to get over to the right hand lane, which is fine if that is what it wants to do, but it will all of a sudden hit the accelerator and make your butt pucker if you are not expecting it. I have been able to replicated it multiple times. I will test it out to see if it is still there from the previous release.
3. Tailgating - I can test this anywhere, but at freeway speeds the previous version tailgates sometimes and it does not need to. If the car in front slams on their brakes for whatever reason, there are some distances that the Cybertruck based on pure physics will not be able to stop in time. Hopefully it eases off of the tailgating. The ultimate solution is to allow the driver to select a distance that aligns with their comfort level and conditions. The Cybertruck does not car if it is raining when it comes to deciding how close to get to another vehicle. And I know the Cybertruck knows it is raining because of the rain sensors.

So to me, these are the three things they need to address: Lane Centering (which should be easy to fix), the sudden acceleration (which my guess is a very rare case) and tailgating (which should be easy to fix).

I say all of that and wonder if the engineers actually drive a Cybertruck, because within 10 minutes you can see the lane hugging and tailgating. That should have been fixed on release #2.

My friend, we are the ones training the system lol. The engineers are just there to confirm and conform.
