Tesla FSD gets Overly Aggressive: The Sequel

Here in the UK, these SF videos are of extra interest because the narrow roads forcing a bit of turn-taking through tighter sections are a lot more like home. Lots of direct drive to driver communication at times! Got to say too, 11.4.1 seems like a bit of a step change forward in behaviour.

[@ryanmitcham5522]

The inability to back up is definitely going to be an issue in the UK though. It needs to be able to back up to work with other drivers through pinch points and narrow sections with parked cars. Otherwise it is always going to expect the other driver to backup which isn’t reasonable, and what happens if it meets another Tesla?!

The pedestrians crossing on your green (around 16:30) was handled perfectly by FSD. Slowing down to show it won't actually run them over, but still move up real close to show they're in the wrong. I probably wouldn't done little different in such a scenario

[@ゾカリクゾ]

agreed, there was no real danger there

[@weirdfish1216]

“Between adjacent intersections controlled by traffic control signal devices or by police officers, pedestrians shall not cross the roadway at any place except in a crosswalk… This subdivision does not relieve a driver of a vehicle from the duty of exercising due care for the safety of any pedestrian within the roadway.” from the CA vehicle code. don’t really have an opinion on what the car did, just putting that there if there are any “cars running over ‘jaywalkers’ on a slow street” apologists

[@rogergeyer9851]

Bjarke: Exactly. There are rules for both drivers and pedestrians. The key thing is not to put the pedestrians in danger, but try to keep traffic moving enough not to induce more honking, etc. It's all about balance in complex traffic.

[@rogergeyer9851]

@@weirdfish1216: Given that the car never came at ALL close to running over anyone, such apologists whining about that scenario have no leg to stand on. FSD isn't perfect re pedestrians, but overall, it is impressive, and it's making good progress and IMO in the VAST majority of cases, safety is a very high priority there. Many releases back it used to worry me a bit about disregarding pedestrians walking on the side of a busy road, say, to get into their parked car. But I haven't noticed any issues with that in quite a while.

[@ryanhamstra49]

I mean, a teenager who’s in their phone wouldnt have even slowed down. FSD isn’t perfect and still needs work but it’s way safer than the bottom 1/3 or driver, especially if they are distracted.

[@wlritchi]

19:40 I've consistently seen the beta try to take a right on red whenever it considers the maneuver as "rightward" enough to signal. Easily the biggest safety issue I've encountered with it

[@TechWithKishan269]

I like that FSD Beta works great in California with variety of difficult scenario! When using Beta in the Mid-West, it really struggles in the most basic intersections, round-a-bouts, and even 4-way intersections with stop signs.

[@profcpbl]

Yep. It's still terrible in Montreal. I wonder how they will leverage learning from everywhere yet make its training specific to so many places. I suppose if you just have location as a high level input to the top network, it will figure that out optimally.

[@MarkFunderburk]

I wonder if it has to do with the population density of those areas? They get more training data in SF than anywhere else and it manages to work fairly well despite the challenging situations. Perhaps as a caution the NN has certain aspects that it needs to learn from local-ish experience.

[@NJ-wb1cz]

​​@@profcpblhere are a lot of Teslas in California, so they can just copy what other drivers are doing in all sorts of situations. Since no other area is projected to have that many Teslas any time soon (or ever) given the increasing competition from other brands, your experience is likely more representative of the real Tesla experience than these videos for the time being

[@mndrix]

@@MarkFunderburk I think you're right. Tesla should consider giving a discount on FSD for driving in uncommon territory; help motivate novel training data

[@Glenhh]

I think it has to do with map data. Although Tesla isn’t willing to say out loud that map data is necessary, it is. Not the 3D HD map data Waymo needs, but at least data to know how many lanes are going right for example.

Problem is, you're expected to be a much better driver than that to be able to constantly monitor it and decide when to engage.

7:59 I agree with you that the preferred approach was the one FSD took: smoothly turn right into the leftmost lane. Surprised to hear people griped at you about such turns. (This is in "my neighborhood," which emanates from just across the Panhandle at Lyon.)

[@rogergeyer9851]

KekekaSB: I wouldn't even like to have to USE that intersection. I was impressed at how it handled it (but I think it choosing the right lane for simplicity would be better as a strategy until it improves more). It's far easier for folks to complain than do better themselves or do something constructive.

[@Tonedefff]

Like he mentioned, it's legal in California, but where I live (Oregon) it's not legal. From Oregon Dept. of Transportation's website: "Be sure to follow the pavement markings and stay in your lane when executing turns onto roadways with more lanes than the lane you are turning from. ... The general rule for turning is to turn from the nearest lane in the direction you are traveling to the nearest lane in the direction you want to go. Avoid swinging wide or changing lanes while turning." Of course if there are no other cars around, it's safe to "ignore" this law & turn into whatever lane you want, but I'd be worried about drivers who are used to making this maneuver and then do it while distracted & I'm in their blind spot.

[@lordcrispen]

It's also law in Ohio to use turn into the closest lane. I have only ever seen it enforced when they're looking for a reason to pull someone over in after-bar hours when they're looking for something to do.

[@yannickschmid1608]

Great idea to have a summary at the end. You could even include stats like interventions per minutes driven and then show how that metric develops over time. That could indicate, whether an update goes in the right direction and Tesla makes progress towards Level 5 autonomy.

[@dcdales]

I feel like having Disengagements Per Hour would be a good metric to have if you do a summary at the end. If you did a 20min drive, multiply D by 3, if you drive 30min, D*2, 2 hours is D/2 etc. Very cool ride, though! Curious about smoothness Lombard St (even though I know it's been done to death on previous versions already).

​@@crispyslotit's how often he disengages, same amount of disengagments. on this trip, for example, he had seven disengagments. across both parts, the drive was about an hour and half, so it is three and a half disengagments per hour. @dcdales

I think that would be interesting

[@valtterivalo]

I think that's silly for many reasons, but mostly because it really depends on where you're driving. You can drive for hundreds of hours of interstate without disengagements, but might get 3 in 15 minutes driving in a city that has rough spots and unforeseen circumstances.

[@En1gm4tic]

Self driving cars that you can buy/own are great for point A to B, especially for going to unknown areas. You only have to pay attention to the wrong things it might do, where as if you were driving yourself, you'd have to pay attention to the correct map/street address/turning points/new roads/landmarks/etc. Most people dont realize how useful it currently is. It will be even more useful as it becomes better and better at catching the fails and correcting itself.

I think the interaction with the couple crossing the red light was very good.Pretty much the same as I would have driven, slowing down ready to stop, but still approaching them. I can't wait for FSD to come to Europe

[@minimaddu]

This looks amazing -- I'm personally not super picky about whether it's slightly more or less aggressive, instead preferring improvements to awkwardness and unpredictability. My two biggest complaints are still turn signals and that it gets _more_ jittery (including with the accel pedal) in uncertainty, not less. I don't know if it's improving because the uncertainty handling is getting better, or if there are just less situations where it's uncertain, but I'm glad to see it. I wish there was some sort of clamp on how hard it's allowed to jerk the wheel the moment after the path planner makes a drastic jump, because those are the scary situations where it's suddenly decided to cut across lanes in an intersection or something. A jumpy path planner should be dampening the steering wheel and lowering the speed until it figures out what's actually safe/correct to do next. I'd also love a chime specific to uncertainty, like we get with construction, like "hey, I'm probably about to mess up". Which brings me to my biggest fear, that it doesn't actually know it's uncertain in those moments. 😅 Anyways, great videos!

[@malax4013]

Those are good points but in some situations hard jerk might save you from accident so you really can't limit the jerk. Planner just has to get better.

[@minimaddu]

@@malax4013 I get that, in theory, but it isn’t good enough to be preventing accidents like that yet. That can’t be the reason it has a loose leash until the majority of jerk is really preventing disaster. Today it’s just the system freaking out 99% of the time, which trains the drivers to immediately override this behavior, potentially catastrophically in the rare instance it was correct. This is why I’d rather have uncertainty communicated and a “heightened risk” alert that I can react to as a driver by watching surroundings more closely, rather than being alerted via a new, unnecessary problem (the car veering itself into the wrong direction or brake checking the person behind me)

[@minimaddu]

At least that would be my preference. The way it behaves in uncertainty now freaks me, my passengers, and nearby vehicles out. It’s the main reason I rarely turn it on when anyone else is in the car.

[@malax4013]

@@minimaddu Maybe it could be done the way that the system determines the seriousness of the situation and the limits the jerk if there is no real chance for accident. But this also might reduce the data of situtation that Tesla team really needs. I agree with your statements but I believe FSD-team has a roadmap for fixing these things. They still have lots of big architectural changes to make and those will probably fix these issues. After the major part of the software is upgraded to neural networks they can start focus on more direct problems. I think that will be at the end of second half of 2023 or first half of 2024.

That timid behaviour looking for a lane change would work great in Vancouver, but people here in Calgary would not slow down to let you in. In Vancouver, just flicking on your left signal would have resulted in a gap forming.

20:43 I believe the turn signal the car gave here was in no real relation to the upcoming right hand turn at all (I'm basing this off the fact that it stopped signaling inbetween). I think the car might have actually used its turn signals to show the cyclist it was intending to go back in the lane. If I was going to use my turn signal to show "hey, I'm going back to my lane now" this is in the ballpark of how I would have done it. I don't own a Tesla but I felt I had to point this out. Love ya content man!

It’s crazy how much better self driving is getting

[@rogergeyer9851]

Go BILLS: Yes, at least in the areas it gets a lot of training. It's still wildly inconsistent between various locations, but the cumulative overall progress is VERY impressive. At least for small areas, it's no longer a question of if, but when it gets good enough (though LOTS of work is needed for things like parking lots and turning around and properly pulling over to drop and pick up, etc.) And hopefully then smaller areas can expand and merge and become bigger areas. Like Waymo recently expanded its driving area near Tempe, for example. (And Tesla just totally dominates it there now in a head to head comparison on the same ride, given Tesla can use the highways and Waymo can't).

Amazing progress by the Tesla FSD Team and with the neural network kicking in, it should be orders of magnitude improvement with each new version. Your videos are the gold standard of FSD videos and my hope is that the neural networks will mean real time updates to FSD without having the issue software releases ... you know, like human learning.

4:00 the cars were stopped illegally though, you could clearly see the “keep clear” on the street 🤷‍♂️ Edit: If you look at the lines painted on the ground the car was actually making the right decision to take the far left lane.

I am not a Tesla owner and don't plan on buying one anytime soon, but I can't deny that autopilot has come a long way from FSD V8. Keep up the excellent work. Oh, for the lane change, at 7:30, while making a turn, I generally do the same. If there is no oncoming traffic, I switch to the most left lane I need or going to change to eventually. Usually, if I am at a red light and change to green, with no other vehicle on the left-hand side coming, I sure turn to the left lane. That is if there is no vehicle turning in that same direction. I am in NY.

Appreciate your honest assessment AiDriver! I have similar experiences, but tend to disengage more often because I’m not as brave as you. I was in SF today, and FSD wanted to make a left turn when it was not allowed; so I had to disengage. Wonder if it was a mapping issue.

I have driven, as a resident, in 10 states and 26 cities (8 in California). I can tell you FOR SURE not only are the laws different, but the "accepted/acknowledged rules of the road" depend on the area more than the law for sure. Looks like it's adapting to that, which is dope!

[@MikkoRantalainen]

7:40 I liked the way it went over multiple lanes. Here in Finland, the traffic rules specifically allow this kind of move *if* the lane changes to do it otherwise would be very fast because in that case, going directly to the intented line reduces risk of accident. However, the rules also say that the driver doing this manouver must yield to all traffic so you have to be careful with that action.

Awesome commentary and picking the most 'troublesome' venues to test real life situations. I'm looking forward to my 14.1 release, hopefully soon. I just drove back from Lake Tahoe to Los Gatos, CA using FSD 13.6.8 about 97% of the driving time with only a handful of interventions, non critical!

[@BigBen621]

It looks like the rollout of 11.4.1 has about stopped, with only about 5% of eligible cars getting it. You'll probably have to wait for 11.4.2.

Thanks for this, enjoyed part 2. Loved the cable car / semi / funeral procession.

[@SamuelMM_Mitosis]

I personally wish tesla wouldn’t have to account for differences in traffic laws. As a software engineer I can tell you that dealing with different laws in different regions is a nightmare. The easiest way to do it is if the law exists somewhere just do it everywhere

[@battyblu]

what a stress test

[@EmersonPeters]

I agree with all of your comments. I think you have a great understanding of what is appropriate driving. You're doing great! I wish the die hard rule followers would take a chill pill. If fsd followed all the rules, it would cause more accidents and frustration on the road. Doing what other people expect you to do is more important for safety. I think fsd couldn't have done better in a lot of these situations. It's really amazing how far it has come.

[@jrb7199]

Love the "...bye." at the end. Not awkward at all.

[@STEVEF777]

Amazed how well it works in SF. In Virginia on 11.3.6 I still can't get to the gym and there is only 1 left hand turn. FYI, in VA you can cross white lines and even change lanes in an intersection.

[@captainswjr]

You have to remember FSD is being trained on the east coast too. When the radio starts playing Shippin' up to Boston and it goes into cheetah mode....

[@bencovington6180]

Oh my god. You started the drive at my house and went my exact route to school everyday, even stopping right in front of it.

[@nyr4942]

1:01 bro i had my speakers all the way up and my sub shook my entire house with that sound effect

[@hotrodhunk7389]

Funny the people who are honking are the bad drivers. Tesla's doing what it should. After 15 years and a couple million miles driving a semi truck I realize you're going to get there. Speeding may take a few minutes off your trip but it actually doesn't add up to be that much time.

[@MikeKoss]

WA Driver's guide: Turn from the lane that is closest to the direction you want to go and turn into the lane closest to the one you came from. When making turns, go from one lane to the other as directly as possible without crossing lane lines or interfering with traffic. Once you have completed your turn, you can change to another lane if you need to.

[@ShotgunAFlyboy]

Slow-rolling rather than stopping is vital to busy crowds. Crowds can easily handle one more object moving slowly, but if you stop expecting them to take turns the way a car does, you will be stuck forever.

[@TheRealTobias]

I really enjoyed watching that (2 part) video 😊 Here are some of my thoughts: - If you add a summary, it would be nice to break the disengagements etc. down to driving time and/or driven km (miles if you must 😉 ) e.g.: 1.7 disengagements/hour or so. That would help to compare the different autopilot versions. - I think you do a great job of estimating the risk of a driving situation and giving the AI enough room but disengage if necessary - appreciate all the awkwardness you have to go to at times! ;) - As a (sadly) not tesla driver it took me some time to figure out what the white messeges showing the AI intentions are - Your visualisation with all the details you put in is incredible and hepls unterstanding whats going on. Also your very well timed narrative explaining a situation is super interesting and gives insight of what's going on! Looking forward to thr next video, thanks 😊

[@M1A1SteakSauce]

It’s so hard to ever get a good read on FSD as the team being based in California, it usually performs well here, but the moment you get outside of California, it’s like a completely different vehicle.

[@sr4087]

@5:25 youd be right it shouldnt be creeping up but you answered why it was seconds later; it was planning a path down the way and realized cars were beginning to move forward

[@MikkoRantalainen]

13:20 I think the high contrast of the tree shadow causes the camera vision system to guess that the road surface is so bad that it shouldn't go straight forward.

[@rogergeyer9851]

I really appreciate this video. There are too few FSD videos showing such complexity and giving the insight / detail re the FSD decision making, good and bad points, improvement, etc. In comparison there are far too many videos showing only simple scenarios, normal roads, low traffic, and claiming FSD is good to great. Like we KNOW FSD is pretty darn good on divided highways already, for example. Your videos help me understand that the progress is real and effective in even complex areas, with enough training. The real challenge will be getting the full suite of needed skills AND enough consistency for a wide-area robo-taxi capable L4 network.

[@vanmankennedy]

I'm an Uber driver in a college town, and there are many spots in town that I thought that FSD would not be able to handle for many years, but these last two videos have me thinking it might be there soon. To be clear, I still don't think the system would correctly handle some of the extreme intersections in town at this point. I would love for someone with FSD Beta to come to town and put it through what I think would be the hardest torture test in the US!

[@boostav]

19:50 You're looking at it the wrong way, it has the right turn signal on because it's thinking that it's doing a right turn on red.
