Unfortunately will almost certainly be impossible until too close to make a safe decision or adjust speed, with HW3 1.2MP cameras to read traffic signs (as opposed to identifying object patterns, which it does now). I have tried this using the screen to read a sign with school zone hours in time to adjust my speed but it wasn't possible.

In the SF movie "Until the End of the World", there's a scene of an intersection without lights since everyone knows where everyone else is. Is FSD the start of that?

[@houghtonic1975]

I drive 42 miles one way to work in the Texas hill country around and through Austin. I just received Fsd v13.2.1 yesterday and I can definitely tell a difference from 12.5.6.2 or whatever I had previously. There are three large speed bumps near my house that have been interesting in the past and required interventions. Fsd 13.2.1 handled them near perfect in low light conditions. There is a stop sign that used to cause a hard stop start behavior that no longer gives an issue. Fsd deftly avoided some small road debris in a residential road by going around it into the other lane without any hesitation smoothly. Curvy roads at speed cover large portions of the trip and Fsd drove them at speed without crossing over the center median once or giving me an uneasy feeling like 12.5.6 used to do at least twice each way. I will get more seat time this week but I can definitely tell an improvement on everything just the first two drives. It did a couple maneuvers already yesterday evening that were very smooth and decisive that impressed me very much. I can still do some things better, faster, or more courteous for impatient drivers like behavior at stop signs where everyone rolls the stop sign, but fsd makes my commute much more stress free and enjoyable. I help it roll signs where it makes sense and I take over at the very end of the trip to make parking at the office faster but for the vast majority of the drive I’m just an observer listening to music or podcasts and watching the traffic around me.

[@tesla_PNW]

Did a 400-mile round trip from Vancouver WA to Edmonds WA for a Christmas Eve family get-together on v13.2.2. Only 1 disengagement, and that was just before getting home, turning into my neighborhood! It is so amazing with city lane merges and roundabouts, hundreds of miles of I5 including 80mph driving and stop and go driving (in Seattle), then neighborhood driving and errands around Edmonds. The disengagement was because the turn into my neighborhood is from a suicide lane where you can turn in both directions. This instead of a dedicated turn lane, and it, for some reason, won't get into the suicide lane to make the turn. Silly error by FSD. Also rained on the drive home heavily 3 times, and fsd never gave up. It reduced its top available speed during the heavy rains and moved over to the slowest lane, but was able to at least stay at the speed limit. Sped back up again as the rain eased off to full hurry mode speed and performance! Biggest things it could improve on are: 1. Its tendency to stay to the right in the lane. That makes it awfully close to some vehicles on the interstate, including large trucks. we noticed that, in general, for some reason, this version likes to stay a little bit too far right and not be fully centered in the lane. 2. Recognition of: emergency vehicles and protocol for responding to their presence, school zone signs and context, and then recognition of carpool lanes, and if the number of passengers qualifies for them.

Complicated school zone rules, even Road Closed. And know that a Stop Whaling banner isn't a road sign. Nor some sandwich board in front of a store.

I've watched a ton of your videos and it's amazing to see how far FSD has come over the past couple of years. I will say though, you need to do some FSD content in rural areas or places with fewer Teslas. I got mine a couple months ago and it does some really wacky things where I live in southern Indiana. I think all of the training it gets in CA gives you a totally different experience than what those in the South or the Midwest experience with FSD. Picking the wrong lanes, swerving into traffic, stopping at green lights in 55 MPH zones for no reason... it's weird it happens so often in my experience but I haven't seen that kind of stuff at all in your recent videos.

[@leofreese1]

Maybe it’s a v12 thing

I saw a lot of that too. It was reduced in the latest version, but not gone. Dirty Tesla has some videos on more rural roads. I meant to record and post some videos of the weird stuff, but the Amazon order for the gear was never delivered, and I had to cancel it, and never bothered reordering.

[@ericdepangher7547]

The garage that my apartment complex dumps out to is a one way street with very low visibility due to parked cars. So I started sometime around when the repeater camera comes up when you use your signal to use it to peak around the cars as I try to get out. It has made it so much easier, and no reason FSD couldn’t do better than me at it.

For FSD, it had to stop for people that stepped directly in front of it from the right.

[@leobourbonnais]

I agree about the navigation and maps, but as a transportation engineer/researcher analyzing and creating maps everyday (mostly on OpenStreetMap), I can tell you that it is way more difficult to do that. Mapping restrictions like no-turn on red, or no u-turn must be coded consistently and be updated regularly, and this is still labor intensive. Maybe AI will be able to help us in the near future, parsing millions of streetview/car recorded images, but right now, it must be done manually, at least during the validation process.

You and your FUD-spreading ilk seem blissfully unaware that human drivers kill >42,000 of our friends, neighbors and loved ones each and every year, in the U.S. alone. These deaths are mostly caused by dangerous behavior, including texting while driving; other distracted driving; drunk and drug-impaired driving; road rage; fatigue; falling asleep at the wheel; medical emergencies; running red/yellow lights and stop signs; wrong-way driving; following too closely; unsafe lane changes; speeding; street racing; reckless driving; loss of control; and probably several other categories I haven't thought of. FSD and other ADASs and ADSs rarely if ever exhibit *any* of these behaviors; yet your crowd seems unwilling to consider even the possibility that widespread adoption of FSD or its counterparts might actually reduce the loss of lives and property by virtually eliminating all of these dangerous behaviors. And it might be one of your friends, neighbors or loved ones whose life would be saved as a result.

I’ve felt the needed to have their own map annotation for some time. Especially since 12.5. 90% of my disengagements are due to bad routes. Like taking the “shortest” path to an unprotected left into a major 4 lane road when one street over has a stoplight. Could also annotate for bad visibility at intersections to make them less preferred in planning.

OUTSTANDING FSD Video!!! I really like the downtown San Francisco drives -- they really show how good FSD is and at the same time point-out areas needing improvement. Before FSD I thought AI was BS and only another fancy name for optimized database lookups. FSD is showing us what AI is and how 'human like' it is FSD may be ELON's corner-stone accomplishment.

[@redcrumb]

definitely a great place to test FSD, especially this amazing version that can do with more challenges. FSD unsupervised is next year, 2025. SURELY EVERYONE agrees?

19:32 The Cool Aid man reference nearly killed me - because I really think it would happen!

[@andik2329]

The car needs to be able to read more traffic signs and prioritize them over the navigational route and then could update the navigation software on the fly. And when you or any other Tesla drives the same route again it shouldn't even offer the "wrong" route. So using it's cars Tesla could easily update the navigation software countrywide in almost realtime. Nobody else can do this.

[@Wolfen13c]

Someday cars will understand the context of everything around them and communicate with each other knowing the situation kilometers ahead. But this still requires a lot of resources, development and time

[@richarda3659]

Great video. Just wanted to point out that the streetcar that turned in front of you at around 22:25 was NOT in any way "from the 80s". Maybe you're some sort of Millennial that doesn't have much of a concept of the past, but things were actually pretty modern in the 80s in terms of design. That streetcar you saw was actually a restored classic streetcar from the FORTIES, maybe the 50s, but no newer. The streetcars in SF were in fact all modernized and replaced in the 70s with cars that look not unlike the newest ones. Eighties, really?😆😆😆

[@realulli]

31:20 I've started to indicate left despite planning to turn right in some cases, because to repeater gives me a better view than either turning and looking or looking in the mirror. (Basically the same situation as the one here)

[@JSeds]

Boston has some of the most complex streets around, and I can attest that nav is the biggest issue.

[@ml00000]

You’ll always be relevant! Your videos and analysis gives us the confidence and knowledge of what FSD can do!

[@JonGaull]

15:13 what’s the heck is up with that bike??

[@bikecurious1745]

That’s me hosting my live stream from my bike! Every Sunday I ride around San Francisco and livestream my experience to viewers from all over the world. You should come check it out some time!

[@LeesReviews69]

I hope Dirty Tesla and Chuck Cook adopt your awkward maneuvers stat in their videos

[@xpumpkinwarrior3451]

is the camera a drone following the car? is the camera attached to the car? I dont see the camera stick

[@gibbooz]

Loved that you put the car in awkward situations and you commentary.

[@jordanschultz2232]

Epic. That round about decision time was wild

[@marksinclair701]

Wow, reversing is huge, amazing progress. BTW, you can hit Vermont Street instead of Lombard for the windiest street test. Same deal fewer tourists. No need to add to that whole nightmare.

[@timwildauer5063]

30:00 anyone remember the time when FSD was about to do an illegal right turn on red when the cop next to him called out “don’t do it!” 😅

[@frankandriano1422]

How do you get arial view of car while driving?

[@michaelbalty2750]

0:59 Not only do I see people struggle getting in and out of this SC, but the number of drivers driving up to the charger directly to your right, only to find out that the person behind them took the charger is exponential!

[@happysalesguy]

Thanks for this great video! My 2020 Model 3 SR+ is still on v12.5.4 and it's pretty good. I am waiting enthusiastically for v13.

[@rmkep]

Your FSD drives are the best available evidence of the progress the Tesla FSD team is making. Being that I have a HW3 car running ver 12.5.4.2, I find edge cases with just about every drive. I'm hoping that a version 13 is available soon for HW3 cars and/or they figure out a way to do the hardware upgraded that Elon promised.

[@jessiejanson1528]

As an expert in AI, v13 is never coming to hw3. V13 has larger NN models that simply won't fit in hw3, plus the new features which also take up room. V13 also uses higher res camera input to see clearer and further. One of the updates is likely more parallel processing which decreases reaction speed by 50%. Something else that's interesting is that a NNs ability grows linearly with its size, so these new NNs have a lot of potential and all of this is why v13 is much better. That said, I expect Tesla will hold off any announcements until v13 is complete, once it is complete they will know if v13 is good enough for robotaxi. If it is they will start making hw4 retrofits available for hw3, if hw4 isn't enough then you may have to wait for hw5. I expect hw4 will be good enough.

[@ReDiiKuLuS]

I am sure I'm not the only one but I'd still love to see FSD videos from you even in 100% interventionless drives. I am just fascinated with this technology and Tesla is the ONLY company doing it at this scale with the data they possess. Cheers!

[@jamesdemayo6283]

All the other car companies are trying to make electric work in order to catch up to Tesla. The problem is Tesla made electric work over 10 years ago and is really now a self driving car. Now when buying a new car you have to ask.. "Can this car just drive itself?" No other feature will matter.

[@jasonpanosh9579]

I don't think Tesla necessarily needs an in-house mapping system, but what they definitely need is a mapping service that allows them to update with relevant information (and honestly that would be amazing if they aren't partnered in that way) but most importantly they need the resources to identify and actually update such data. They really miss the mark on customer feedback, fleet wide feedback, basically any form of feedback that would result in quantifiable improvement. In my country it took 2yrs to get a speed limit change, and when it's a reduction in speed that's just too long. I have a new roundabout the system doesn't even try to slow down for even though it clearly is displayed on both navigation view and satellite view. You just can be credible that their RoboCab can be a reality when these basics are so poor.

[@movingFive]

have to say, very very impressive... can't wait for v13.

[@BobbieGWhiz]

Nice to see that the issues that you are showing are ones that I was experiencing regularly.

[@Crosbie85]

1:35 lol the baby stroller being picked up as a mini Tesla

[@FlavaTheRipper]

best video on fsd 13 iv seen so far. Great challenging driving, i would be stressed being behind the wheel in a lot of these drives. haha

[@robkeshav800]

Great video and narration as always. Why is V13.2 not released to all AI4 MYs?
