ALMOST THERE: Tesla FSD 12.3 REVELATIONS

[@andrasbiro3007]

I'm an assertive driver too, but when I'm not the one driving, I don't care much. And for a robotaxi safety is higher priority.

[@stratician]

agreed!

[@andrebillups4079]

I agree with this statement when it’s assertive mode it’s like I have to watch the vehicle I only disengage when I want to drive faster and switch lanes fast

[@boblanders8810]

Also got it. Love it! Wife is more relaxed. Only goose it at stop signs where NHTSA irrational requirements call for FULL STOP, which frustrates drivers behind me.

[@MrBB1379]

As long as FSD is around, NHTSA will always be there to heavily regulate it, which sucks for us FSD users and drivers around us.

[@joaquinurbina9754]

I got FSD 12.3 today. My experience with AUTO speed limit was VERY good. At the traffic light, FSD started very confident driving up to 45 mph (the posted speed limit). After 10 sec or so, other cars started to catch-up driving over the speed limit. FSD started increasing the max speed matching the traffic around me. At 58mph, stopped accelerating, put the turn-signal, and switched to the right lane allowing the faster traffic to pass. This was a very human like behaviour.

[@DanaVastman]

I just took my first drive tonight after getting V12. It was life-changingly mind-blowing. I've had FSD/beta since nearly day one and have enjoyed the gradual improvements, but this was on another level. I felt like I was driving the car. It was so smooth. It made so much sense. Everything happened as I would expect and I was truly comfortable for the first time. As a hyper vigilant person, this is a game changer. Well done!

[@roxter299roxter7]

It’s amazing how much your assessment has changed. 12 months ago if you could get a drive like that you would have been absolutely raving about it. Now your major complaint is that it’s a little “whoosh”. 😂

I live in Vancouver, B.C. but spent a month driving around the Northeastern part of the U.S. last fall. One of the first things I noticed was how long the red lights are in the U.S. compared to those in Canada. Are these much longer traffic stops a recent phenomenon?

[@brianmeek9846]

90% of my interventions with 12.3 are pressing on the accelerator and adjusting some lane choices. Great progress. Very few things to iron out can't wait to see the progress now. I'm happy it doesn't have road rage, seems to be paying attention and acting correctly most of the time. I just wish we could get rid of the nag unless it's system critical. I already agreed by using it that I'm responsible for the actions of the car. I've been given a license to drive, i don't need the handholding. 😊

[@JohnBlackburn1975]

It only has one set of weights so not sure what effect assertive versus chill would actually have. Maybe that only affects motorway driving via v11 stack? Trouble with nothing by nets you can't just flip a switch

Love how you're still "giving it a little gas". If the thing can ever drive me around, without my attention, I won't care about the route it takes or that it drives like an old lady, and I won't care what the guy behind me thinks either. I'll be reading or writing a youtube comment or something.

Mr refresh S with auto speed off still goes 7 mph below posted. When I turn it off and put offsets to +15, car set to assertive, it still goes way below speed, even if I crank the scroll wheel speed 30 mph above posted. Need 12.3.1 fixes soon! Can’t use my fsd like this.

[@JNow4Now]

At the beginning of your test drive, you mentioned engaging the speed limit offset. Was it set for a minus offset possibly?

[@richbl1690]

5 years ago I drove EXACTLY like you. However, even though I'm almost the same age as you, I've become what you call "a chill driver". Not a deliberate decision, just a gradual shift in my habits, I guess. I enjoy driving more now. Thanks for another cool show.

[@wreckinball11]

Exposure is in whiteout mode. Definitely need some adjustment on the camera or post.

[@MichaelDeeringMHC]

Drives under the speed limit. Stops at stop signs. So it's a better driver than you.

[@SeanChYT]

Driving 5 mph under in a 30 mph zone is not desirable, and he wasn't criticizing it stopping at stop signs, just not being assertive enough when proceeding after the stop. For the masses to want to utilize the technology more broadly, FSD needs to transition from being your typical lady driver into driving like a man (and with the accident rates of a robot).

[@allieflounder5764]

This was really an insufferable video. The constant complaining about not tailgating, not driving aggressively...not breaking the law. Complaining about keeping a safe distance on the highways is epic. It's scary that FSD is available to certain people. Expecting the car to choose the lane with the fewest cars to save 2 seconds? Really? After hearing the final comments it's clear that John doesn't understand what FSD is even for. The car is supposed to not drive like an a.h. actually the fastest we can get this out there and the more aggressive drivers we can get off the road the better. (Edit) ...I am going to have to go back on some of my criticisms here, 12 is too slow and needs to respect the drivers offset. It should only drive under the limit if that's what the operator chooses, so John is correct in this regard. I stand by the rest though.

[@tedmoss]

@@SeanChYT Driving like a man is precisely what gets you killed. The intelligent machine will drive like it actually has some smarts. How much are you worth?

[@trottingwolf]

I have found that if you give it some accelerator when its going below the speed limit it will stay at the speed you push it up to. It resets pretty often, but generally has the same affect as using the wheel to adjust the max speed up.

[@darylfoster7944]

If FSD is ever going below the speed limit, then it's broken. And if it's doing it in the left lane, then it's really broken. I get a bellyful of human drivers doing that already, and it's obnoxious.

[@JustinKrux]

this didnt work for me at all, had issues with it on 3 seperate occasions, the scroll wheel didnt seem to effect it in anyway, and pushing on the accelerator didnt either, once i release it, it just slowed down again. tried disengaging and re engaging and it still slowed down, this was on a 55 mph 3 lane road, no neighborhoods or schools, it wanted to go 40 mph, no matter what, so i reported it, traffic was passing me like i was a grandma. there are def some issues with the auto speed offset...it did seem to work well for road construction, bad bumpy roads and neighborhood roads really well. but its decision seemed inconsistent on roads with speed limits of 45-55.

[@thomasgrimm1664]

Does the car react at all to potholes or other forms of surface damage to the road? There are plenty instances where I'd slow down just to protect the vehicle from potential damage even if the speed limit or traffic would not require me to.

[@gcauldwell]

Got it this morning (middle of the night), you beat me as usual; can’t wait to try - fortunately I have to go to work today 🎉 yaaay 😅

[@aronghe]

I know everyone is saying highway stack is still the v11 because of the auto Max … but as you use the system more can you watch out for that? In my experience, the highway behavior is still a bit subtly different.. for example for my usual route v12 is making some of the tight exits that v11 used to consistently miss. Also the robotic position maintenance within the highway lanes seems to have gone down. Only 3 days of very sparse driving so I’m not sure if I’m just imagining this so I’d be curious about your experience

[@kylelieb2977]

Agreed. If all cars were self driving, self driving would be easy.

[@tomcrocker608]

Just got back from a morning of driving 12.3. A lot went right. Great new version. Here is the bad: It turned right on red without barely slowing down. It was the only right on red situation I encountered this morning. I was in the right of a 2 lanes east bound. A UPS truck decided to pass me - fine, but my car started to pull into the lane to block the truck? I aborted. Leaving the median to cross on bound traffic after the last vehicle, it almost clipped the tail end of a semi that was the last vehicle it was waiting for before crossing. When it sees a route sign “Ahead 15” ( just a route sign with “ahead” perched on top) it sets the speed limit to 15 (in a 35 zone). Did this repeatably.

[@tedmoss]

Don't say aborted, say intervened. The car is unlikely to hit another car. Get better signs.

[@eyesuckle]

I wish you would do something about the constant rattling/buzzing sound in your left audio channel. It's like there's a fly caught inside my left speaker. This has been a problem for many months, off and on. Can't believe that no one else is hearing this.

[@nickmcconnell1291]

Try this scenario ina rural (non-traffic area) without autospeed turned on: Turn on FSD 12.3 in a 55MPH zone. Use knob on wheel to dial top speed to 60 MPH. Note that the car doesn't go near 60 most of the time... it is overriding your setting.... just like the Dr saw at slower speed. Note keep FSD on until you get to a reduced speed zone (maybe a 45 mph zone?)..... did your car slow down to your offset top speed or is it going faster than it should? The above scenario will result in your getting a ticket so be cautious and ready to take over and brake when you get to a reduced speed zone. Theory: Ego is keying off cars around it. I live in a rural area. When there are no cars around ego doesn't know how far to go and doesn't seem to reference your offset speed.

[@halparttwo]

excited much, he he... my car drove perfectly on its first engagement! this is soooo good now.

[@bertwright1790]

12.3 does great, except I have 3 roads in 3 miles of my house that don’t exist and I have to take over to get to my destination. 1 - it plans onto a private road that is closed off, and has been for a long time 2 - a good road exists and is the shortest path, it plans for another route that ends in a ditch. 3 - from the Quartzsite Supercharger going back to I10 it takes a right into a store instead of taking a left for the road to the Interstate. I don’t know how to report these mapping errors beside voice error when you take it out of FSD. It’s a mapping error, that I’ve experienced and reported for over a year and a half.

[@studioopinions5870]

Question: Say you are not using the GPS For Guidance, and you are at an intersection, and you want the car to drive either left or right, will using your Turning light signal tell the car to make that turn, will it obey and take over? Thanks, Terry

[@johnbaker5533]

Still baffles me that people don't understand what the word 'limit' means. Wanting to go 20+% more is crazy. Legally you have no leg to stand on, keeping up with traffic isn't a defence.

[@caseyk2366]

I know in CA if the speed limit sign just says speed limit then you do have a defense for going faster under the basic speed law. ie you can make an argument that conditions were such that traveling over the speed limit was safe. If the sigh says maximum speed limit then yes you have no defense even f you are caught for only going 1 MPH faster than the posted maximum speed limit.

[@tedmoss]

Most states have personal recognizance laws. So you don't understand the law.

[@ryansmithc]

It's not crazy at all. States have enough data to know how most people react to speed limits. All intentional.

[@quantumbacon]

If you crash while going over the speed limit , your defence of 'it was safe' is clearly not going to hold water..

[@DemonXplaid]

Most speed limits in my area need to be increased. going at the speed limit is ridiculously slow. There’s areas where 50 is comfortable in a 35, and 35 is comfortable in a 25 mph zone. They need to update their traffic studies or something. If autonomous cars need to follow the speed limit, the limits need to change

[@porkalletta5893]

Thanks for all your videos. Is it possible that Tesla with NN is in Robotaxi driverless training and therefor being speed conservative and not allowing overrides? Would Tesla be responsible for speeding tickets if in Robotaxi mode? I would like to override because I don't plan on using my X for Robotaxi. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

[@willyag2529]

I gave 12.3 my first short test drive yesterday. I'm a chill driver so was surprised at the fast acceleration on turns and watching you on assertive makes me think there's no difference. I set auto speed on and also noticed the slowness when there was no traffic. But I was able to boost the speed with the right wheel.

[@Steven-996]

Is there a way to turn off switching to the speed limit changes when on autopilot and FSD?

I face similar issues. I hold up traffic by going 35 in a 25 zone. And several places in my typical drive where 2 lanes firm where only one is marked. I would prefer, of course, to follow the markings and signs but to do so in New England is dangerous! Hard to know what to suggest what Tesla should do.

First changing the speed offset won’t change the speed in 12. You not paying attention to the nav is a you issue not an fsd issue. Also, it will go faster if there is a car behind you. Finally, you complained about the car not taking off fast enough 5:41 when there was actually a pedestrian that you should have been paying attention to. The car saw it..All of the issues you pointed out are John issues not fsd issues. We don’t need an aggressive self driving car we need a defensive driving car.

[@richardr1430]

My community gate looks exactly the same as the one at the beginning of your video. FSD has never stopped for these gates. Without intervention, the car would drive right into the gates. Unfortunately, V12.3 behaves exactly the same way. Edit: Also, while v12.3 drives more smoothly than any prior version, I find it making lane mistakes in places that used to always be perfect. It will frequently move into a left-turn-only lane when navigation calls for continuing straight ahead.

[@tomhansen45]

The slightly slower speed is way more comfortable for me. I really don't want it to be faster unless there is other traffic around going faster - and I have seen it go faster than the limit when other cars do. Just sit back and enjoy... I like slow speed bumps also.

Slowing for speed bumps, that passes the wife test! The actual driving aspect works so much better than 11.x.

I was most interested in something new on the display. Brief artifacts of obstructions/cars on numerous occasions that disappeared quickly. They nearly always showed up briefly after a full stop and resume. Your car did not seem to react to any of these. I wonder what is going on with the predictive algorithms to show this. Nearly all of these obstructions seem to be pure phantoms. But so cool to see how different 12.3.x is going to be. The release 'major, minor, minor' adoption tells us that updates will be more frequent and less in need of regression testing.

[@aware2action]

Just got my tire blasted (ran over dividing curb), using the newversion, when FSD negotiated a tight left turn from an intersection😢. Had to disengage FSD forcibly, immediately after(also sent voice feedback), pulled over, less than 200mtrs after getting low pressure tire warning. Really bad damage to the side wall! Lesson learned🥺. Definitely seems to be an issue with the new version update (yesterday). There was no emergency situation, it was a plain and simple yet another left turn in broad mid noon daylight. Hope tesla could reimburse for the damage🤞 (will update, if they ownup and resolve the issue).

[@brianp8384]

Regarding Auto Max Speed, I have found that if it is driving under the speed limit, I can press the accelerator to increase speed and FSD tends to maintain that new speed after I let off.

My version of 12.3 accelerates much faster after a turn from a stop light, I notice the chill aggressive setting don’t change behavior, I used the auto speed setting and think it work great, not chill. It starts to slow further back from stopped vehicles then pulls forward to stop. In my routes that I’ve used v11 on are very good for me. Maybe they used my video to perfect my driving routes??

[@MrBB1379]

The auto speed adjustment really doesn’t matter too much if you don’t have cars around you for it to gauge off of. In my car, if there is a car coming up on me fast, my car will make the appropriate adjustments to its speed to accommodate or match the flow of traffic around it. Although not ideal, I’ve even seen my car go 10mph over the posted speed limit. V12.3 still doesn’t recognize School Zones, so if you are the lead car and are about to go through one, you’ll need to disengage or else you might get a ticket. lol.

[@nickmcconnell1291]

I have 12.3 and I'm having issues with it not slowing down when the speed limit changes. No I have not turned on the auto speed setting. However all of the speed settings in the Autopilot menu are greyed out. You can't set a top speed, set a percentage over posted speed... nothing is accessible. It also seems to just go whatever speed it wants....I dial up the speed to 60mph but it might decide it wants to go 46??? I had to take over twice today when it didn't slow down nearly enough after two reduced speed signs resulting in it trying to go 52 mph in a 35 MPH zone around a corner. Doh!! Reported both of course.

Good test. Maybe use the phone to film the road, it's a vastly better camera. For some it goes over the speed limit. You can try using the scroll wheel a little. Apparently it has an effect despite pretending not to. If you scroll far down the car will actually stop. Bug or feature.

Wow what a great honest review.It seems like most of the videos i've seen so far are just praising it up and down and They never says anything bad. My experience has been very much like yours.Very irritating with the going 5 or 6.Under the speed limit, it should do at least the speed limit.Yeah unless there was rain or snow or something but on a clear sunny day it should do the speed limit minimum. I found with turning the auto max off. It still goes under the speed limit. It doesn't seem to change the behavior so there's that. My other complaint is just how slow it approaches.Stop signs. The good is, it definitely is not timid? When another car is approaching the stop sign at the same time. And I stop just a second before him. The car go's version 11. Would have just sat there and waited for them to go. Great review

Surprisingly it's dangerously🥺 assertive, while making unprotected left on intersections(just shoots to the mid intersection😅!)❤👍

CA law specifies that cars should wait until pedestrians have completed their crossing before turning. Nobody does that. but that's what the book says.

Interesting that other reviewers have criticized V12.3 as too aggressive, but you consider it not aggressive enough. I would prefer an autonomous system to err on the side of conservative.

[@justinjja2]

I've noticed when 12.3 is going under the speed limit I can give it a little juice and it speeds up to the limit and stays there. I don't think it's reasonable to expect it to go above the speed limit, but it definitely needs to be going the speed limit. Also needs to be trained to respect School zone speed limits.

You seem to have lost sight of the purpose of FSD

[@BernardWei]

People learned a bunch of bad habits over the years. The question is, will you pass the driving test today given the aggressive way you drive?

[@DavidSaintloth]

Tether! Tether! Tether! Stop calling it a bloody "noodle". You kill my nerd soul every time you say it!

Optimum path = the golden thread in route planning.

[@DavidWorsham-v5o]

The car is following the laws of the road and not what you think it should do?

[@philipjones3599]

Ok the part about type A and B drivers is nonsense in my view. Remember the point of fsd and the reason tesla is pursuing this is the idea that this will increase safety and reduce fatalities. Well if we create an fsd that is aggressive that likely will be less safe than a more safety conscious fsd. Id be willing to bet your type A fsd would still be safer than humans but less safe than the type B fsd.

Equating aggressive driving with bad driving is absurd. Tailgating and changing lanes without looking is what causes virtually all crashes. I'm aggressive and I don't do either one. I've ridden with plenty of slow, passive drivers who are all over the bumper of the car in front of them.
