My assessment of FSD

[Idrenak]

So I have the FSD v12.5.5.2 and I've driven everything from sports cars to semi's for the past 50 years. I like driving and even enjoy driving on long trips. First off let me say that Tesla's FSD is impressive. We live on a farm and I was shocked when I first got it that it could navigate unmarked blacktop roads and even gravel roads. I never expected it to work on either of those. With this software version I liken it to ridding with a teenager who is learning to drive. You let them control the vehicle but are always on alert for a possible catastrophic mistake. It seems to choke on merging traffic sometimes and sometimes I see events unfolding ahead that I would start slowing down on but it maintains speed until it must do a hard brake to avoid an accident. Left turns are still a problem with it not maintaining it's lane and even heading into oncoming traffic. The not accelerating to the speed I have set is also annoying. Granted it can be fixed by pressing the accelerator pedal but still a bug in my mind. All these issues I'm sure Tesla will correct over time. All these thing said FSD is not as capable as I am. I've logged millions of miles driving accident free. When it can drive as well as I can or better I'll be sold. Absolutely love the truck and use it as a farm truck and daily driver. FSD has a lot of room for improvement.

FSD, even in its infancy, is still one of the most impressive feats of real AI I have seen to date. I think only to be surpassed in the future by Optimus.

We are dealing with these early issues more than any other model right now because the stack for the CT is being emulated on another model rather than having its own native parameters. We need to feed Dojo a LOT more data.

FSD is amazing, but it has the attention span of a goldfish lol. While the nav can show an upcoming turn well in advance, it will often wait until the last possible moment to change lanes, annoying the organic drivers.

Haven’t driven it for about three weeks, I found it made three mistakes today:
1. As the first car in front of red light, it didn’t move when the light turned green;
2. At a stop sign, it didn’t move forward even the road is clear;
3. It almost ran into a red light!

May be the FSD forgot how to drive after the long sleep?
