Can We Trust AI? Best Friends Test Tesla's Full Self-Driving V12.5.6.3

[@adastra8218]

This is the type of FSD content I like

[@thesimplesarah]

I appreciate it! We were just vibing the whole way

[@MondernMan]

I've been using FSD almost every time I get in the car during this latest trial and used it round trip between Baltimore & NYC last week - no issues. There are some funky decisions that FSD makes every now and then but I find it relaxing to use while driving. It's not perfect but it's damn impressive.

[@thesimplesarah]

Absolutely. Definitely not perfect, but it is nice to relax a bit on long drives

[@JosephHowes2003]

That's my take. I don't get the people that insist it should be perfect before it's released to the perfect. It's extremely useful even if I have to take over occasionally and they couldn't have made it perfect in a reasonable timeframe without people using it.

I should have included some footage of it! I brought my camera in and they were not happy so I just took some photos on my phone. There is a photo on my X account!

[@vlad2838]

So refreshing and irreverent-a welcome change from the usual EV content! Looking forward to your future adventures!

[@thesimplesarah]

Thank you! There's so many technical videos we just wanted to make one that is a little more relaxed

[@OasisAmps]

Your conversation made me think the car should learn from you driving then drive like you. Within the law, of course. Or at least be able to input a" Like" When it executes a perfect maneuver as yall said a couple times. It should repeat those maneuvers exactly the same after that. Great show ladies. Would love interview for my channel.

About the follow distance - You can adjust this on the steering wheel. You can go from I think 1-7 car lengths of follow distance

[@thesimplesarah]

You can do two cars in autopilot and it doers get a little bit closer, but not FSD

[@JackMelqart]

well, to the following distance between the tesla and the car in the front, just some numbers in case of an average human being, and fsd if you have to emergency brake (with new tires): if you drive at 62mph: - the distance traveled during reaction time is 98-ish feet, but cos its Tesla FSD the reaction time is reduced to around 28-ish feet - in case of dry and good grip surface, its 175-ish feet of braking distance. -added together 28+175= 203 feet (12 Model X put together in a row or) if it would be a human driving: 98+175= 273 feet (16 Model X put together in a row or) thus the cars spacing looks fine to me, if you driven around 62mph. ( if the tires are worn down to 1/8 inch, the braking travel distance doubles) what i try to say here, that many people dont drive in a speed appropriate way when it comes to following distances, they under estimate the law of physics..

[@genelane2243]

So true about people not using safe following distances. Riding with friends recently, it was dark and roads were variably wet. I finally told the driver to back off to a safer distance because I was getting terrified.

[@beltrams]

I'm on 12.5.6.3 as well. The V12.5.xx versions are the first versions I'm actually sort of comfortable using without disengaging them every 5 minutes. I'm on the free trial and *might* actually subscribe going forward. I'll definitely try V13 releases when those come out. The ability to park/unpark, and do in and out of the garage from beginning to finish will be huge. FSD still has to execute NO TURN ON RED and school zones, though. 'Not sure if we will get that in V13.

[@thesimplesarah]

Yes, school zones are not a place for FSD. At least right now, I’ve found that it won’t honor the speed limit.

[@BlackbirdProductions]

I went there this past weekend and Tesla we're VERY strict on photos and videos. They were watching me like a hawk after finally agreeing to allow me to film the car... switching gears... I tried FSD on 75 and nearly killed me lmao! 😂

[@thesimplesarah]

Yeah they were not happy about me taking photos! Where did it try to kill you?

[@BlackbirdProductions]

@@thesimplesarah Specifically, where the new stretch of highway starts coming off of the 75 north exit going towards preston if I remember correctly. If I had to take a guess the FSD system isn't completely mapped for this new highway yet and when I used FSD there it wasn't always sure where the lines on the road were so it kept going into people's lane.

[@xjdisuehd]

I moved to Virginia around 10 months ago, before that lived in Legacy Village in Plano by the pond. The problem FSD had with Plano roads, was where there are two left turn lanes and the traffic lights tell you to go on orange. Now, that is incredibly difficult for a human too, especially if you have the big-ass lifted pickups that are so common, and if they are waiting in the oncoming left turn lane too. But FSD almost killed me once in the aggressive mode.

[@thesimplesarah]

Yeah it’s gotten a lot better for sure, before I wasn’t too sure about it because it would do some sketchy stuff.

[@Techridr]

As a California boy, I'm glad to know In-N-Out is in Texas, but 24:41 a Double-Double means 2-meat - 2-cheese. Ordering a Double Double with one cheese is just going to confuse them. It's a Double Single. 🍔

You are supposed to drive with at least 2 car lengths between vehicles on a free/motorway. It is irrelevant that some people will cut in ..

[@JackMelqart]

there is the law, and there is physics, if people would actually know that, with new tires an average car at 62mph just he braking distance ( human reaction time based travel not included) is 175-ish feet, and average human reaction time based travel distance is 98-sh feet, so two cars distance is not even close..

The car gets over early so it doesn’t miss the exit and it does it safely. You already admitted you forced your way across all lanes at last minute.and you admitted you always miss your exit. Sounds like you shouldn’t be on the road can I suggest you have some refresher lessons. Can you tell me what orgasmic difference you get when you get over at .3 miles instead of 1 mile? If you insurance company are watching this they are going to put up your premium 😂

[@thesimplesarah]

It got over and then switched back to the middle lane because traffic was too slow in the right lane. I usually miss that exit because there’s so many people in the right lane and merging on it’s just easier to take the next one.

_If you want to speed turn off fsd and drive badly yourself._ Speeding is far safer, both for yourselves and for other cars, with FSD engaged.

_Ford's Bluecruise is sill years ahead of Tesla's FSD._ Seriously? Ford's BlueCruise that operates only on 130,000 miles of precision-mapped limited access highways in the U.S., while FSD operates on nearly 5 million miles of streets, roads, and highways in the U.S. and Canada, mapped or not, paved or not? Ford's Bluecruise that's limited to 80 MPH, while FSD operates to 85 MPH? The same BlueCruise that has had three fatalities in 244 *million miles,* while FSD has had two fatalities in 1.3 *billion* miles-which if I've done the math right is eight times the fatal accident rate of FSD, in spite of operating only on the safest roads, while FSD operates on all roads, including the most dangerous? That Ford BlueCruise? Really? I'd love to hear your reasoning on this claim!

[@carensimon4236]

I have this FSD version. It is awesome. But these girls were not responsible. FSD drives great in normal situations, but doesn't handle edge cases. Tesla tells you to keep you hands on the wheel for a reason. 1/2 a second could be the diff between life and death. Looks like they are in the X, so they'll probably be fine, just kill some other poor dude. I can accept keeping hands close to the wheel...but driving with crossed arms at hi-way speeds, and with stuff in your hands - that's super dangerous. These folks are gonna ruin it for us all when they have a major accident.

[@BigBen621]

_Tesla tells you to keep you hands on the wheel for a reason._ Actually, NHTSA says *not* to keep your hands on the wheel. What they found is that doing so led to inadvertent disengagements of FSD by grasping the wheel a little too tightly when FSD turned the wheel.

[@carensimon4236]

@@BigBen621 That's nonsense. You can gently touch the wheel with one hand without disengaging. And its not about the actual touching. Its just science. By keeping hands empty and close to the wheel - you cut response time. When you are at highway speeds (as in the video), even a 1/2 second is 50 ft. That 1/4 second to drop the drink can the driver was holding is the difference between a crash, and preventing that crash by 25 ft.

[@BigBen621]

​@@carensimon4236 _You can gently touch the wheel with one hand without disengaging._ You *can,* but what NHTSA found is that many don't do so, and end up with inadvertent and dangerous disengagements as a result. If you don't like the message, take it up with NHTSA. There's another issue, as well. According to NHTSA statistics, human drivers have more than 30 times as many crashes per mile as Teslas with FSD engaged. As such, any effort to take control to avoid some perceived danger is far more likely to exacerbate the situation than to improve it. The safest approach is to allow FSD to work out the situation without interfering-unless, of course, FSD disengages itself, in which case you will of course have to take over manual driving.

[@carensimon4236]

@@BigBen621 i looked for this NHTSA recommendation - and don't find it. And why would Tesla keep telling (on screen) to hold the wheel, against NHTSA recommendations? Please provide a reference to your claim.

[@BigBen621]

​@@carensimon4236 Fair enough. It's in a PDF named Additional Information Regarding EA22002 on the NHTSA site, which you can search for. Upon review, it doesn't actually recommend not holding the wheel; but it describes many cases where doing so led to inadvertent disengagement and subsequent crashes. Also, contrary to my comment, this referred to Autopilot, not FSD. But the principle is the same; it's apparently easy to over-torque the wheel when holding it, leading to inadvertent disengagement, and, in the case of Autopilot, numerous crashes. Here's the text: "Inadvertent Override: 55 crashes were identified where Autopilot was in use, but it appeared that the driver may have inadvertently or unknowingly deactivated Autosteer while TACC remained engaged. This happened either through steering inputs that exceeded the manual override threshold, resulting in the vehicle drifting out of its lane, or through enough intermittent steering input to change the heading, generally resulting in a single vehicle roadway departure crash as the first harmful event. Crash factors indicate that driver disengagement, coupled with the Autopilot system design, is the key contributor to these crashes. Almost all the incidents (43) were involved in a crash less than 5 seconds after Autopilot was overridden by a steering torque and the vehicle lost lane centering and departed the travel lane."
