i would like to see how the care fares when it encounters potholes. where i live, the roads are basically made of them

[@shannonjurgens3667]

Nah, you really should finish a right turn in the right lane. Left turn in the left lane.

[@de-kat]

​@John Jamesmaybe or its becouse people are little boxes (with depth) that always move a little. You must not forget that it is checking if something moves several times within a second, there Occupancy Network works with videos and not with images. Try to hold your hand in front of your face, we usually don't notice it anymore but we always move a little bit, holding still needs a lot of concentration.

[@sbiefeni1]

Your fast-forward and stop "cassette" noises are very distracting.. actually it makes it sound like your car is making weird noises inside.

[@Nk36745]

Day to day, is it less tiring driving in autopilot or is it not there yet?

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

Man I absolutely love how to talk about the car. You are the most unbiased person to ever review something. If you don’t like something, you call that right out! It’s awesome to watch because anyone else would just be like “ohh this stupid car doesn’t work right at all!” But you actually give it props when it does something correct and also give remarks when it does something incorrect. Even on minor things where I’m like “ahh it did okay there” you’ll still call it like you see it. Gotta respect that.

[@JARECKOWIAK]

What a terrible times we live in if something that should be the standard is something rare and praiseworthy

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

@@JARECKOWIAK Yeap.. that’s very true..

[@joyalpatel6000]

This is crazy. Can’t believe you can make long videos this soothing! Keep it up man, you deserve wayyy more subs. I can definitely notice the extra attention you place onto story telling (especially the use of wide angles and pauses SOOOOO GOOD). And btw, I love your voice. Have a nice day, week, month. Have a nice.

Could be just that it want to rush, as has seen before, and saw a gap and tried to gain three seconds.

[@mikechance9812]

Hello, I have been watching your videos for a few weeks now and I just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching you and your enthusiasm is refreshing! Keep up the good work.

[@Nightly_Games]

20:12 when you override it i love the wheel starts flying back and forth like its denying and trying to tell you it really doesnt want to do this 😂

[@nickfosterxx]

Fascinating. A couple of years ago I watched FSD videos for the entertainment of seeing where and how it screwed up - showing how hard the project was. Now I think, from here on forward, I've started to watch to admire its increasingly inscrutable but intelligent handling of said situations. Thanks for flipping my script there, it was about time. And at one time I thought I'd stop watching because as it got good it would get boring! PS your editing is great. (thumbs up emoji)

[@Danuxsy]

and at the same time it cannot recognize a cardboard box in front of it and just goes straight through it lol, clearly far away from being able to be completely autonomous.

[@nickfosterxx]

@@Danuxsy ha ha yeah fair point. and I would have assumed 3-point turns by now too.

[@Wyte_Knight]

I like the long videos too. Just woke up, smoking a cig, drinking coffee and watching this is one of the thing I like in the morning. It's peaceful, slow, relaxing, while being interesting and who makes me think about some of the situations you show. Make it easy to wake up slowly and start the real thinking process.

[@SailingAndInvesting]

I like how he FSD is showing its thinking process. I feel that is really important for us humans to become more relaxed during the ride.

[@peterkolnik8444]

I think the car in the parking lot was confused by the fact that you had turned left signal very early and he thought you were going to turn into his path, where you wouldn't fit, that's why he wanted to go sooner

[@ghame]

I really like your videos, either and edited and long ones. Your voice is super calming and I just like to watch how autopilot manages its way through roads. Feels like future is already here. Keep up the good work, man!

[@plutoplanet4275]

From what I understand, FSD team appreciates getting more taping of notification button as it provides more edge cases for them to evaluate. Press the button more rather than less.

[@matyasnyilas]

I love how it just gets better and better each update :D I mean I LOVE

[@thespacepeacock]

We love the longer videos! They are both interesting and relaxing, and a great way to end the day if you ask me :) keep it up!

[@snooter28]

You're hands down my favorite FSD youtuber. I look for your videos explicitly and the others I just happen across.

[@TheSonOfKrypton]

I LOVE your videos, AI DRIVR, but please keep in mind that you are PRIMARILY a Tesla FSD Beta Tester (who signed the agreement like we all did) whose primary job is to beta test…meaning please please please hit the “Video Capture” button to send data back to data when the car does something inappropriate in your judgement. Doing that will help us ALL and will help MY car learn from YOUR car’s mistakes (and vice versa). Thank you sir and I appreciate you

[@Pr0Cre]

Exactly the type of video style I love and subbed to this channel. Only through your videos, I am able to track overall progress of FSD. Thank you.

[@George_Shonia]

I've to say that, it's the most complicated video editing I ever seen among FSD channels out there, camera switching effect is so cool that it's like how it most be in new Grand Theft Auto game 😂 Aside of video editing, videos by this channel is analysed & discussed about it extremely detailed. Thanks for such hard working & sharing.

[@askonand]

At 3:38 Tesla started to use a left blinker signal too early and that's why the red SUV driver was considering to proceed forward: to let Tesla take a turn here to a parking to the left

[@TexanMiror2]

I love the longer videos! Nothing stopping you from also having some shorter ADHD-friendly short-videos, maybe even some clickbait, but I feel like long no-cut videos are important because it clearly shows what the AI can do and cant do at this point. It creates trust in your content because you cant fake or cut out anything.

[@Nichodo]

I think that is what KZbin shorts are for the ADHD People XD

[@evsmiles957]

Just love the ‘warts and all’ approach, superb commentary and the wide angle for context is super helpful. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@wack-a-mole9250]

Great shout-out and thanks for reading and reacting to the comments!

[@samgray7074]

The car on your left in the parking lot that had a stop sign and went when you thought you had the right-of-way probably did it because they saw how slow you were going andn that your left turn signal was on. They could have been thinking that you intended to let them go and that you wanted to go down the isle they were coming out of.

[@silvercree]

17:01 In Germany, you are legally supposed to pass buses with hazard lights on only at walking speed (~5-7 mph), because people might pass in front of the bus, but pretty much nobody actually drives that slow. So in a way, not even overly cautious

[@loganrossignol]

Over the course of an entire year of testing, FSD still does not see several of the speed bumps on my street that are usually "masked" by shadows from trees. Almost always the same ones, but behaves the same in any scenario that is similar: speed humps that have tree shadows cast on them almost never get recognized correctly, in particular during late morning/midday. At night it's fine since it's casting its own light to see objects rather than relying on environmental light to see.

[@wattlebough]

Phenomenally good! Can’t wait to see Beta start to do three point turns and U-turns soon.

[@RedHedDes]

Big wins and also big YIKES at times. Great that the autopilot can learn from people like you putting it through its paces.

[@adamrak7560]

Some mistakes are inhuman, but many look like a student driver's mistakes.

[@iitool]

Seriousley some of the best FSD content on YT. Love it, keep it up man!

[@HaydenCMH]

I definitely agree with Andy, I love these long form videos. Your editing is getting so good!

[@daft5670]

Bro, the transitions between your camera angles are NUTS, I love them

[@maxhvargas]

No! You are not crazy. This is the most intelligent analysis of autopilot behavior I've watched so far. Love it.

[@simonyapp]

So well presented, and you sound well and ok. Thank you ! Great edit. Take care

[@FutureSystem738]

As usual, great video, thanks. Love your work.

[@OndenOndwaK]

One of your best videos on the channel. I love a longer format there the majority of footage is still sped up and there is a ton of commentary regarding interesting problems. I would really appreciate if you shared your workflow perhaps on your second channel as I will probably try to launch an European FSD channel once we get the opportunity here across the ocean! Do you record VO over already pre-edited footage? Or do you comment over raw footage and then edit everything together? It's just so smooth and seamless and that's coming from someone who has been producing videos for the past 10 years. Just amazing job man.

[@AIDRIVR]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’ve been thinking of doing some tutorials either on a second channel or for Patreon supporters. It’s been a long road developing a process, but I basically VO over unedited clips and put markers where I’d like to switch from 3rd person view to first person and then after I’m all finished I do multiple “passes” and add all the color grading and transitions. I will definitely make a tutorial in the future, I’m finally getting organized!

[@MrFloris]

More of these, they help me get through the day and I learn something while I relax.

[@JohnDoe-xr8dz]

Regarding the right turn into the multi-lane roadway: check your drivers' license manual that the state provides to prepare for the test, right turns must take the eight lane and then signal to move over, same procedure for left turns into the left most lane. We have been cites by a state trooper on this issue.

[@allenramen1380]

Gonna be honest, maybe don’t include the extra sounds when fast forwarding, honestly just including the “fast forward” symbol is all that’s needed, it just adds extra noise while your talking, maybe a simple fade in and fade out on loop of the symbol just to make it more obvious

[@samskleibrok2023]

18:43 was the best part of the video 😂😅

[@mattesrocket]

😎

[@francescogiacomelli403]

You are killing it with all of these uploads! Thanks and keep it up 👍

[@aaronb7990]

7:24 that was super cool, that was the person that freaked it out and for good reason. When the person came into view they were spinning around to sit on the tailgate which looked like they could be about to make a quick move that could put them in the path.

[@aleksandertherkelsen9644]

Bro, I have your video in the background while studying. Love the chill vibe.

[@tripnils7535]

Really love the effort you put into your videos with the commentary, overlay and switching between in-car and third person view to explain situations 👍

[@Shabobidhuffy]

When I watch your videos in my tesla using FSD , I get confused by all the Tesla sounds from the videos audio thinking it’s my car lol😂. Ya ya ya “keep your eyes on that road” thanks mom

[@arthurzlol]

something about your videos that make it the only FSD series I watch from beginning to end

[@ZechsMerquise73]

totally agree with the comment about Eurotruck Simulator. I enjoy watching the long and uncut videos

[@lilkusify]

I live couple blocks from the san mateo supercharging. Im glad you did this video so i can see how fsd will react to my area!!! Cant wait to finally get out of fsd que & actually get the fsd..

[@OverlordActual]

Very happy with the video length here. Had a pretty good drive with FSD this morning. Low traffic and it was right before sunrise. But it made smooth turns and had good decision making 👍🏽

[@CatskillOne]

One thing I noticed: The turn signals come on wayyy too early and remain on for wayy too long. This can be confusing for other drivers. 9:00 it activates right turn signal for the intersection. But there's a Gray (nissan?) waiting to pull out from the gas station in front of you. That car could interpret your signal as intention to go inside the gas station and begin pulling out as he'd have the courteous right of way in that situation. 7:17 it kept left turn signal on for way too long even though you were making an immediate right turn. Driver of the green Lexus could've decided to start making a right turn thinking you're intending to go around him.

[@marcingrzybowski1764]

The long cut videos are really charming in a way, but I would make the rewinding sound effects quieter or even remove it, I feel like it's disturbing enough that I am writing about it.

[@AIDRIVR]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@no1watching146]

Love these vids! gets me into a chill mood and is great for keeping me updated on self-driving car technology wich i think is super interesting! Keep up the good work!!!

[@FrotLopOfficial]

I'm infinitely grateful that you let FSD push its self through situations without copping out when people are behind you. Dirty Tesla is way too insecure as a person and often pushes the accelerator which I think really handicaps FSD's learning. Thank you for letting it do its thing

[@billnye09]

You’re definitely my favorite FSD driver

[@LeesReviews69]

You have the best camera perspective of all the KZbinrs my goodness! It’s real life GTA!

[@metallicpail]

[@nicopiscit]

I agree that these kinds of videos are very relaxing and entertaining to watch and your commentary is so great! Keep it up

[@JamesKirk1988]

Yes, I like seeing your whole drive and listening to your commentary. I've tried Vlogging in my Tesla, but I hate the way I sound so much, and I hate editing, so I never upload them! :)

[@beilkster]

3:41 the tesla blinker is why the red vehicle started moving. I would have assumed the red vehicle would need to move first to give access for your left turn into their lane.

[@BryanMartinhan]

Agree. the red vehicle thought he was going to go left on the road the red vehicles was coming from.

[@robertsteel3563]

6:20 I like how the warning said "Autopilot Paused. Waiting for our turn."

[@danward73]

As always, a perfect video; thank you! And while you've been doing it for a number of videos now, I gotta say I love your "clack" sound at the end of fast-forwarding through sections. Older folks like me (and you?) appreciate the sound of good old fashioned physical buttons in this crazy digital world.

[@gptandi]

Wow, I was not expecting the shoutout! Thank you very much and keep up the good work :)

[@n16161]

10:47 That’s the correct signal for indicating a left turn at the roundabout. It’s not often used in the US. Go over to UK, you see this everywhere especially in multi-lane roundabouts.

[@christopherkong9157]

Used to live in San Mateo and quite familiar with the areas the car drove. Wow, you really put the car through the hoops. For science! Great work.

[@marshall5]

Mine is BRUTAL with speed bumps, never detects even well marked, large ones. Makes for 50% of my disengagements because of where I live. Glad to see they work somewhere I guess

[@DrTrax1887]

Nice video and I love to her to your voice, it’s kinda chill 😊 At 7:22 autopilot is reacting because of the human at the car, he was also displaying this on the screen. Mention that just in case you missed that. Grettings from Germany ☺️

[@sebastianbass946]

I like the VCR fast-forward and play effect you used.

[@apontel]

Love the camera views and embedded visualization, also your narration. One thing that could be added is stats on the number of disengagements (saw this on AllAboutTeslaY channel videos and find it heplful).

[@CPTStuetti]

I have to say, youre one of the few channels where i watch ads, because your content ist so good and you deserve the money lol. Greets from Germany

[@Coastie_808]

I like these types of FSD videos. It allows us to see more FSD interactions in a shorter time span, but also gives context to what's going on. P.S. Would be nice if the beta version was in the video description or maybe as text at the top or bottom of the video

[@lowhombre]

Awesome work, many thanks!

[@ScBroodSc2]

When the Path planer is confused it looks exactly like the auto-complete function of a rollercoaster in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. lol

[@Mrbfgray]

4:00 Deff with FSD on that one, it's one thing to yield right of way when necessary for safety and another thing when it's a toss up, it was clearly ready to yield if required.

[@peterdevil1545]

Yeah I put those videos for sleep you have nice calming voice and I love Tesla bing bongs it’s quite relaxing you don’t shout, the longer the better if there would be a possibility I would watch everyday

[@AlainFattal]

[@franciscocontreras4450]

7:25 in video duration, that's crazy how this software can detect an open vehicle door from outside of its surroundings.

[@edgelord6560]

Diverse situations. very interesting and awesome editing

[@qpn6ph9q]

9:07 i think the reason it changed lanes mid turn is it saw the car turning from its left into the same road and possibly predicted it path to the left or middle lanes, so it like changed to the right lane to avoid that. a human probably wouldn't have noticed the exact intention of the other driver and would have cut them off.

[@marcinmarcin2506]

absolutely love those effects 3:32! Love your channel for this way of experimenting😅

[@SL-vs7fs]

13:28 Here, a double axle trailer is parked in front, and the representation is a shortened semi with five axles. I have always been impressed with how good the vehicular representations are. I am guessing they have standard graphics that they pick from to approximate the shape of the vehicles.

[@de-kat]

You always talk about the autopilot, it would be great if you addressed the underlying systems separately instead of always putting everything under the term autopilot. For example, the 3 most important systems are currently: 1. occupancy network (captures the environment and provides a 3d vector space) 2. lanes network (it is responsible for the path planning, the actual navigation and the recognition of paths and lanes). 3. collision avoidance network (whenever it beeps or the brake is pressed hard, the network recognizes that a collision is possible, the network is currently only active in the FSD beta, but will be extended to all Teslas in the future, even without ordering autopilot). There is a great KeyNote videos of Teslas Devs to the Collsions Avoideance Network in which they show in a simulation what happens when a Tesla driver presses the gas pedal and lets go of the steering wheel without active Autopilot with the new system. (The you tube video is called CVPR'22 WAD) !!Spoiler!! ; The car bounces like a ping pong ball against the ends of the road but avoids everything and never crashes.

[@Mel_ilm]

Thank you for your great work!

[@davidhite1868]

It is nice to see FSD driving like a boss. Although limited that is one thing AP 1 did well on highways. Drive like a boss.

[@Albi91vl]

I love the fact that the car took its own right to pass. This is the best way to scare drivers that ignore the Stop sign

[@RubenKelevra]

9:05 it probably saw the right lane as parking spots initially, and as the turn progressed it corrected the recognition. By law you have to go to the right most lane - that's why it then switched the target lane.

[@emikeholland]

For an idea on where to take the car, try to see if it can try to navigate going through an airport, with all the cars and the instant different turns. Might be a little risky, but would be cool to see how the car can handle that!
