yes. I cannot imagine going back to a regular phone.

A Short trip is less than an hour. I intentionally shop at a grocery store about 45 minutes away just to spend more time using FSD.

Thanks 🤗

Yes, HW4 is smoother sometimes. The differences are very subtle.

@ cool. Thanks for the feedback. My MY from Berlin from October 2023 has unfortunately an HW3

I listen to audiobooks while driving and I realized, while editing, that I may get a copyright strike. I think I have a fix for future videos.

I grew up in the 80's watching Knight Rider. I still smile every time I see it driving with no one in it. I look forward to an increase in distance. I try to use it every chance I get.

The Chinese government has long been suspected of hiring as many as 2,000,000 people to surreptitiously insert huge numbers of pseudonymous and other deceptive writings into the stream of real social media posts, as if they were the genuine opinions of ordinary people. Many academics, and most journalists and activists, claim that these so-called “50c party” posts vociferously argue for the government’s side in political and policy debates. As we show, this is also true of the vast majority of posts openly accused on social media of being 50c. Yet, almost no systematic empirical evidence exists for this claim, or, more importantly, for the Chinese regime’s strategic objective in pursuing this activity. In the first large scale empirical analysis of this operation, we show how to identify the secretive authors of these posts, the posts written by them, and their content. We estimate that the government fabricates and posts about 448 million social media comments a year. In contrast to prior claims, we show that the Chinese regime’s strategy is to avoid arguing with skeptics of the party and the government, and to not even discuss controversial issues. We show that the goal of this massive secretive operation is instead to distract the public and change the subject, as most of the these posts involve cheerleading for China, the revolutionary history of the Communist Party, or other symbols of the regime. We discuss how these results fit with what is known about the Chinese censorship program, and suggest how they may change our broader theoretical understanding of “common knowledge” and information control in authoritarian regimes.

Why, the car slowed down for the cop until the cop waved us forward. FSD worked exactly as expected.

FSD slowed down for the cop, the cop waved us forward and FSD continued. It is truly amazing.

The other videos show it cutting (shorts are limited to 1 minute). This was an experiment with editing.

The car is the star of the show, and it does not talk - yet.

FSD 12.4.3 removes the steering wheel nag.

@@ericgregori I have V12.5 FSD (Supervised) and that was downloaded yesterday. How can I get the 12.4?

12.3.6 is smoother than 12.4.3, but 12.5 is amazing.

Also, regulators in the UK would not allow a simple minded buggy FSD software on public streets over there. UK does not put the public at risk.

I have my X drive to work in FSD during rush hour traffic with the same outcome🤷‍♂️

So, a slow and cautious driver could have a totally different definition of “good driving” than someone who likes to drive fast and aggressively."

@@ericgregori I’m also in the Chicago area with a commute from far west side to Elmhurst. This includes a fun quick trip on I294.

@@ericgregori All of your car crash statistics in USA will not be helped by FSD: FSD cannot drive for even 1 hour on a challenging route, without making mistakes. Less than 1 percent of cars in America are Tesla. And an even tinier percentage have paid for the buggy beta FSD software. A dumb level 2 assistant.

I let an AI drive my car, why not let it do the narration.

The car is being driven by a bot, an AI. If I can use AI to drive my car, why not use it for narration.

The captain is ultimately responsible. FSD is a pilot that needs to be supervised by a captain.

Uncanny valley - The uncanny valley is a term that describes the sense of discomfort or unease we experience when we encounter a robot with certain human-like characteristics. Evoking a negative emotional response in humans.

@@ericgregori It's nice to know that there is a specific term to describe the unease felt by humans , in the presence of superior robotic intelligence masquerading as a vehicle. Or refrigerator 😁

I have never felt unsafe using FSD. It is not perfect, but it is safe. @WholeMars - San Francisco FSD videos @techgeektesla - Chicago FSD videos @BlackTesla - Not sure where he drives

@@ericgregori honestly forgot the guys KZbin page but some of them were like the Tesla would confuse a gravel lot for road and take a trip off road to reach a point dropping off something the size of a curb in the process and there was another vid of his where the fsd wouldn’t go straight for this one section of road that was under construction and kept trying to drive him off of the side of a hill there was another guy I saw showing how fsd came to a full stop on the high way for a red light on a side road or on ramp some of these situations are more what I meant outside of the places fsd is used everyday is where the real testing lies

The NCAP tested the Model Y and rated it the safest car on the road. See the test for yourself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnzEf2acZ9-gebM

I wonder if this is why it stopped before going around? "On January 1, 2015, an addendum to Scott’s law went into effect in Illinois requiring motorists to slow down when they are approaching recycling trucks. This was an addition to an existing law that required vehicles to slow down when approaching garbage trucks. The law requires that a driver change lanes (if possible) or slow down below the posted speed limit, or risk a penalty of up to $10,000."
