Is FSD HW3 Safe in Extremely FOGGY Conditions? 👀

[@chrvids5846]

I sure hope they give you the very first download of 13.2.2 for HW3. No one deserves it more than you….. and then a few hundred thousand others.🤣

[@stlufred]

I experienced a really dense fog a few days ago (where people was driving 50 kph in a 90 kph zone) and FSD 12.5.4.2 on HW3 simply didn't wanted to start.

[@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg]

HW3 is crap

[@pennyharris446]

Such good videos. Made my day.

I picked up a 2018 M3 a couple weeks ago and drove it back from Philadelphia to Indiana. The whole state of PA had heavy fog. Overall I was still impressed with my FSD experience. There were a few times where it limited the max speed on the interstate due to the weather. I never felt it went at an unsafe speed.

@@brianbaker3731 awesome! Very good to hear.

The LATE AF lane changes need to be updated. Can't wait for 12.6

[@techgeektesla]

@@brokenneck so true. The Tesla team has been playing around w/ the NN weights to execute turns earlier for a very long time. My guess is that it’s a combination of a ton of weights that determines how early it begins to move over. The worst is when it changes lanes AWAY from the lane you’re supposed to be turning into for an upcoming turn.

I have FSD V13.2.1 and FSD is getting so good at normal driving tasks that most of these channels are getting to be rather boring. I'm glad to see vids like this that safely try to find the limits. I don't recall seeing any flashing blue screen warnings or anything at all unsafe in your driving. It would be nice to know more about what the screen render shows, when it shows it and why. The delay in displaying things that the eye can see is interesting.

The worst thing FSD does in fog at the night is that it turns on the high beams

[@carlagat1075]

It doesn't work in heavy rain, that's for sure, and the FSD on a clear day will miss exits on the highway. I'm hoping that I get an update soon. I'm on 12.5.4.2

[@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg]

12.5.4.2 is TRASH !!!!!!!

[@HarshColby]

The visualization delay could be due to the confidence level of the AI. Even if the cameras can "see" the lights at the same distance, the fog could be reducing the confidence, thus they're not being displayed. It's possible the car would still react appropriately (which is why you asked about what happens at 80mph, of course).

[@TexasTSLA]

Wow nice that FSD went slower 👏🏼 I’ll stay alert when using it in fog on the highway

[@petsonly4068]

Would be interesting to test this with HW4

[@bspencersf]

I kind of assume that rendering items on the screen is lower priority than reacting to them so I’m not sure you can assume that the car doesn’t “see” things before you… My experience is that the car frequently reacts to things before I see them.

[@techgeektesla]

@@bspencersf great point! I also wonder about this constantly. I’m sure you’re right.

[@DerekDavis213]

If you have 2017-2023 Model 3, you'll have Hardware 3. So many people that won't get the advantages of HW4.

[@erwingiger9735]

In the video I couldn't see the traffic light that early as you could see it with your eyes.

[@techgeektesla]

@@erwingiger9735 precisely! Great observation. Which proved the point (to me) that the human eye is still better than the cameras. If the 4K camera in my car couldn’t see (show) the light, the FSD cameras definitely couldn’t see them before me.

[@erwingiger9735]

@techgeektesla Yeah I think so too, although I watched the video on my mobile, I don't think I would have seen the traffic lights as early as you saw them in reality.

[@stephenmiller6690]

You raise a question i have had for a while. Is the delay between the human eye seeing the object and it showing in the FSD visualization really the human eye seeing farther? Or is it that the visualization only displays so far ahead in distance? For example in low light like just before sunrise a camera or binoculars see much better than the human eye. My hunch is that the Tesla cameras are better than my eyes. Another good video. 4:18

[@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg]

hw 3 BLOWS CHUNKS in VEGAS !!!!!!

[@boballen9095]

This whining "FSD may be degraded" parade of nags has got to become the focus of some serious upgrades. @Tesla prides themselves on excellent engineering and I concur. Now direct that magnificent engineering prowess at making the cameras never-ever have to be inadequate "One or more side cameras may be occluded" cease to be a thing or it will _never_ be fully trusted. That's my 2¢.

[@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg]

HW3 is absoute TRASH in LV - absolutely USELESS

[@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg]

hw3 12.5.2 was CRAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - canceled
