What is perplexing is that while Tesla AP can demonstrate good performance, at times it has shown some extremely bad behaviors such as ramming parked cars. Even the current FSD V9.2 is still disregarding road barricades, plus large obstacles on the road! ....
Thanks, I get distracted following the downtown Chicago sites I know.
So many disengagements. He mentioned GPS might have been off - I think I've observed that problem, lots of shading and maybe multi-path with those tall buildings and bridges.overpasses in downtown.
But separate from the obvious stuff, like not seeing a steel pillar or a barricade, the FSD has an odd combination of cautious and aggressive. Before I go further, before any of the forum FSD fans get upset, I better say it is still impressive what it
can do, and yes, I know, it's 'beta' - but the gaps! OMG!
On the cautious side, it appears (maybe camera angle?) to stop pretty far behind the car ahead of it. And then (usually) takes some time to get going. As he mentioned at one point, the driver behind him was getting aggravated. Another time, it seemed to wait for a pedestrian on the far side of the intersection to get most (all?) of the way through before proceeding - the car to the left I'm sure was wondering when he was going to go. A human would see she was making progress, and time it to have plenty of time to slow down after being almost all the way through the intersection.
But many other times, it seems to do a rolling stop, one time so much that the driver reported it, he said it was 'kind of a roll'? That was barely slowing down, doesn't the FSD know to stop for a stop sign? And it didn't know to slow down for a speed bump?
And when that other car made a sharp left across the Tesla's lane, he had to intervene, and then complained about other drivers. Yes, the other driver was at fault. But I honestly think that when I'd be driving downtown, in that moderate traffic, I'd probably see some bad behavior from other drivers like that at least every couple minutes. You stay on your toes, react, and deal with it. Or don't drive downtown. It's not an outlier scenario - it's exactly the scenario that FSD fans tout about saving lives.
And the earlier rant from Sandy Munro, he says:
01:16
um he let me
01:18
sit in his car and drive around
01:21
when i was in that car
01:23
we were in city streets
01:26
and we were making 60 and 120 degree
01:29
turns now that doesn't mean much to
01:32
anyone here but at slow speeds under 40
01:36
miles an hour
01:38
and
01:39
and
01:40
under normal driving conditions
01:43
making a 60 degree or 120 degree
01:46
left or right hand turn is really a big
01:49
deal
01:50
it it really truly proves that you have
01:53
something that's ai
01:55
artificial intelligence
01:57
there was no problem at all with the
02:00
tesla vehicles that i drove
I just expect that these are things that will take
many years to improve to the point of letting the driver ignore the road.
