I took the truck to Cirque du Soleil in Redmond, WA, this past weekend and used FSD for 95% of it, as I do. (There is a mapping/planning issues at the interchange of SR16 onto I-5N in Tacoma that cause it to leave the carpool lane flyover for some reason.)
The final mile or so of driving was in Marymoor park, which has winding lanes and various stop signs. But, for Cirque, they had flaggers out doing manual traffic control. Generally waving traffic through the stop signs to keep it moving. I was curious as to what the truck would do, as it's usually anal about stopping at stop signs for an annoyingly long time - but, to my surprise, it followed the flaggers instructions and glided through without stopping. Multiple times, and I saw the stop signs rendered on the screen so I know it knew about them.
I don't know if it was following the traffic in front of us or what, but it was pretty neat.
Side note: I was wondering if we'd get dirty looks or if someone would try to F with the truck while it was parked for the show. But, nothing. Lots of people looking, as usual, but no miscreants.
