FSD general release rollout (outside Early Access) is happening! Install yours yet?

On short trips around the city streets, it has done very well. It seemed better than our M3. It ran 2 yellow lights. I was expecting it to stop, but it did not. I could see red traffic lights while still in the intersection which was something I've not seen with M3. It navigated out of a parking lot very well. It waited for traffic and turned right on 2 intersections. Twice it was in the right lane which was soon to turn into a right turn lane. I helped it out with a turn signal to get into correct lane. This has been a constant issue on the M3 as well. I live up a narrow and windy road. The M3 has missed the turnoff about 1/2 the time, the CT made the turn and navigated up the road fine. It pulled around the mail man into the other lane on a hairpin corner, not slowing down much, but we were already going about 15 MPH. That could have been ugly if a car was coming down the hill in the corner. It handled the entry gate much better than the M3. Of course, it will drive by your driveway. Wish I could tell it to turn into the driveway. Not having to keep your hands on the steering wheel makes it really feel like the vehicle is driving itself. Although, I had hands touching the wheel and foot ready to brake when in tight situations. It was fun!

My 1st and 2nd drives were rather stellar. It clips to close in left turns, and completely cuts across unused oncoming turn lanes when turning left, it seems to hug the right curb when there is no line, and when passing on the interstate it seems to hug the left line. Had to intervene during a highway ramp entrance which was rather a nav issue as the 5 month old ramp does not exist on the nav, and merging into traffic as it didn’t know where it was as the 3rd lane did not exist in its nav brain. But it maneuvered traffic circles and odd shaped ovals, yielded to traffic in a circle, managed the biker and pedestrian, hundreds of traffic cones of all shapes and colors, bike line markers which are black. And it kept up with traffic. I dialed the speed limit up by 5%, passing on the interstate and merging back in, very impressive.
Sometimes it is a bit short on the speed limit for no apparent reason, but it is still learning.

The seeing your eye movement through your sunglasses is not working and I can see how this is challenging, so this is an improvement that needs to come in the future.

All in all FSD is a super impressive feature, and for a first rendering quite awesome. I believe the fact that auto-drive accelerates differently, merges differently and slows differently as I would do in manual is harder to deal with than the few oddities it has been displaying so far.

I couldn't find the ‘take the empty pole position in the open adjacent lane at the red light to blow the mustang away’ button, maybe a feature for the future…

Mostly my apprehension is from trusting the CyberDriver using a new technology for me during heavy downtown traffic. After my 1st day, "I'm a Believer!" ?

Use FSD, enjoy FSD, but do not trust FSD. Always be ready to intervene the moment it's necessary.

There will come a time when that is no longer necessary, and Tesla will tell us when that time is, based upon reams of user data. Even then, I will still supervise it most of the time because it will still have the occasional accident, even after it's 10 times safer than the average human.

Agreed. In my 1st day a kid in a Mustang would have caused a wreck if I hadn't taken over. For the most part though, it's Magic!?

It really likes to move it’s front out when making turns from stops. It did it when a car was almost on it and I feel like that might make the other drivers think I’m pulling out in front of them. It did fine though so technically it’s correct.

I’m having very few interventions. I had to hit the juice pedal once to make a right on red. It just sat there even when it was clear.

A couple times I had to hit the turn signal to make it switch lanes to avoid trouble spots that I already knew about.

So far though I am very impressed!

So far so good… FSD…. How I missed you!

So following up, 24 hours later, the car detected the new version again and it installed successfully.

Here’s to hoping we finally get FSD this September, just like Elon promised! ? #FSD #AutonomousDriving #Tesla

It is October and no update for me

 

[Cyberjam]

Fully installed and works flawlessly. We just did a 5 mile quickie loop to the pizza shop on dark and curvy Connecticut roads. No issues any all. Amazing.

So happy!

Told my 14 year old son/co-pilot to remember this day for the rest of his life - 6,800 lbs electric super truck driving myself without any inputs. Simply amazing.

What can the future hold?!

Yup. Ditto. Lovin' it. CATCH UP, WORLD!!!!

I am always later in the update schedule so I'm shocked that this just started!

I'm just outside Nashville in case anyone is tracking progress geographically.

I have been using the FSD for the last several days. It is great. Feels like I hired a professional driver now. I using it all the times now. So much fun! Only a couple of times it gets confused on something and ask me to take over.
