Tesla FSD 12.3.4 - City streets & Highway Drive

[@ImperialCrab]

You are the first KZbinr evaluating Tesla FSD to mention that, although the current release is better than average drivers, it is not as good as the best drivers. And that if older people and kids are being transported, the acceptable standard should align with the performance of the best drivers. Excellent presentation. Keep on with this!

[@dgermain001]

The interesting point to mention here is that most people think that they are better driver than the average. Not sure however if this is a positive or a negative argument for FSD !

[@ryanfraley7113]

FSD should have the driving ability of a Max Verstappen or a Chase Elliott tbh

[@Astros-dz4bx]

Yeah, but the best drivers aren't the ones causing accidents, blocking lanes, etc., It's the average driver. If Tesla can prove that their self-driving system is much better than the average driver, it's already a significant achievement worth looking into - including possibly regulatory approval.

[@CasperChicago]

My Model 3 on FSD changes lanes, speeds up and slows down like a professional chauffeur. I used your videos as if I were sitting in a Tesla simulator. I watched your videos for over 6 months before getting FSD. Your FSD videos have been a BIG learning tool 👍🏾

[@BlackTesla]

Glad to help

[@oregoneyes6673]

I agree with your assessment. It is still 'rough' but it is not making the major errors I saw in earlier versions.

[@cameron1100]

Good video as always. You articulate the drive much better than most others out there.

[@cameron1100]

My biggest quirk with this version is how slow it can be and how sudden it can still stop in certain scenarios. I was always taught to be a defensive driver so I try to blend in with everyone else on the road. Going exactly the speed limit or just under on some rural roads leads to a lot of tailgaters. And a sudden stop can lead to getting rear ended by said tailgater. Overall 12.3.4 has been incredible. My parents have reverted to saying “Elon” is driving whenever they are in my car.

[@explor794]

I think it slowed down with those cars going slow in the other lane just in case someone pops out, I do that as well

[@johnchristopher7697]

Love your videos!! Definitely one of the OG GOATS of FSD. I watch your videos before I try any new software version.

[@BlackTesla]

Thank you JC!

[@davidkendall2272]

Excellent FSD 12.3.4 critique and summary of things that need to be fixed. My wife and I will be heading out from Edmond, WA to Albuquerque, NM next month and expect to drive entirely on 12.3.4 or hopefully updated OTA version. Will be a great test for us. Keep up the outstanding reviews on FSD, which are so helpful to folks like me.

[@BlackTesla]

TY

[@theodorehaskins3756]

So excellent video as always, I’m currently driving on V12.3.3 and I definitely say that FSD today drives better than I can, and the reason I say that is because I hate driving, and I liken driving to doing the dishes, laundry, mopping, and vacuuming floors, none of which I ever wanted to do. So I’m going to go out on a limb here, and say that I am supremely confident, that FSD, will be the full package, and become the car that Elon Musk promised, 5 or 6 years ago. So once again, thanks for the ride along, and I look forward to seeing you next Video. Cheers 🥂

[@bennybob60]

I've noticed complex behavioral changes w/v12.3.4 in my travels. 1) Aborted move into L lane to pass after sensing fast oncoming (speeding) vehicle in that lane. 2) Moving to side of lane for ALL vehicles and many turns, not just for tractor trailers. 3) Still changing lanes too close behind other vehicles, even at highway speeds. Setting change does not effect this. Overall, I am astounded by the improvements over 11.4.9 as well as the continued improvements I've noted just since getting 12.3.4. Seems to be 'learning' rapidly. Thank you again for all your analysis and dedication!!!

[@mrneveryoumind]

Great video. The tech is incredible. We're almost there. I wouldn't worry about the curbs. As long as it doesn't hit them, i don't see the issue.

[@markbloxham1313]

Totally agree with what you say regarding FSD should ALWAYS be with the owner if purchased outright.

[@fz8964]

at least for a long period of time like 15 or 20 years.

[@explor794]

Great honest reviews, I think it’s OK to report the little things. It’s the only way to make it perfect.

[@johnchristopher7697]

Thanks!

[@jackknife761]

My problem with the Highways in Los Angeles, is if your exit is in 2 miles, you are going 10mph in traffic and the 5th lane to the left is going .02mph faster, it will get over to get into the "faster lane", causing problems getting to the exit if you are in any mode other than chill

[@sheldog0079]

Great vids. I have a 21 Y Brooklyn, NY. It seemed like I wasn’t going to receive the free version and I was leaving on a 4 hr, MA road trip so I purchased FSD on 04/18/24 to experience the Supervised version on my trip. So disappointed that I only received the Beta version v11.4.9 which still hasn’t updated.

Enjoy your videos, really educating me thru the videos what to expect with FSD. hope to get a tsla soon!!

[@barouchkrakauer7815]

Wow 😮😮 Robo taxi is here. Sooner then we think !! TSLA ===> $2,000

[@Ample17]

I don't know man. Tesla hasn't even started to file the paperwork for operating an autonomous Taxi. In Europe it's outright forbidden and the politician's won't budge until the big car brands tell them to because they see a way to profit from it). There is no way a robo taxi is coming this year. The software isn't there yet and lobbying from Uber, Yellow cabs, other manufacturers will try everything to slow this down. And even if it comes. How do you see this Generating the value to lift the stock up about 12x from where we are now? What's the math behind your assumption?

[@DerekDavis213]

FSD did very well, on a very easy drive. Just a couple of issues: 22:00 No turn signal when changing lanes 25:35 Super close to the right curb

[@matthewhodges5910]

I think some people are overly critical of the software. It’s still under development, but it is light years ahead of anyone else’s software

[@Mpr47276]

Totally agree the lack of transferability of a FSD license is an egregious shortcoming of Tesla’s FSD business policies.

[@cosmocalisse]

My biggest issue is that it still can't turn away from a dead end, and just stops. Can't have robotaxis getting stuck all over the place, but I feel like that one wouldn't be too hard to address. Overall it's like a driver who's always experiencing things for the first time, and makes rude lane changes with little consideration for the comfort of other drivers.

[@BlackTesla]

It can handle cul-de-sac dead ends just not dead ends that require a K-turn. Partly because they limit FSD to drive only, not reverse, but it should be something that can be unlocked over time

[@jasonlop10]

Mine tailgates people on chill. Gets so close and then brakes hard

[@Sonoma-e1y]

Even the best drivers cause accidents when they are tired.

Hopefully in 12.3.5, highway driving will switch to v12. Then in 12.4, the indecisive lane decisions will stop.

[@dhui777]

Cities need to patch up the potholes in a timely manner. FSD or human drivers should not need to deal with them.

[@DerekDavis213]

In broad daylight, a human driver can often avoid a pothole. Or broken glass in the road. FSD is blind to those things. ☹

[@mikemulrooney4824]

[@skyscraperfan]

As Tesla has all of that driving data, couldn't it identify the "easiest" routes where it hardly ever has any problems? Of course a difficult situation could also happen on those routes, but you could minimize the risk, if you really send the car to pick up your parents. Then it would not matter if the route is much longer than the shortest or fastest route.

Hi, could I ask what HW version of autopilot is installed in your Tesla?

Tesla doesn’t promise that if you purchase FSD for your car that you will be entitled to fully autonomous if and when it becomes available.

[@natemac8473]

This thing definitely drives better than my wife.

[@BlackTesla]

🤣

[@stacattos]

3000-5000 USD is "the sweet spot" for a feature that will eventually make the car drive itself with no supervision? And you can transfer at will to any car, too? Yeah sure xD

[@BlackTesla]

Ira software, when you buy an app for your phone do you pay a premium price to use it on your new phone when you get a new one? Or same with a computer?

[@Soughanunna]

I am under the impression that supervised FSD is safer than normal human driving because you basically have a human watching and monitoring an AI system with eight cameras. Better than just a human with two eyes. I wouldn’t be afraid to have my kids in the car while driving with FSD.

[@DerekDavis213]

_I wouldn’t be afraid to have my kids in the car while driving with FSD_ But the guy who runs this channel (Black Tesla) has said he would NOT have family or children in the car, while FSD 12.3.4 is in control. That might change, in the future.

[@BlackTesla]

In theory yes but in practice it's different. Tesla themselves say that the car may do the wrong thing at the worst time so be prepared to take over. Until that is no longer a reality I wouldn't use this with kids in the car.

[@antoniolewis]

I use it with the kids in the car for brief periods but I am an aware and present driver. I’m always ready to take over and not distracted.

[@bobedwards8896]

I like and appreciate the videos, but i cant help but think this is so weird... nowadays we live in a time where selling a product that isnt anywhere near complete is an OK thing to do. Tesla has been talking about FSD since the original model S in 2012?

[@BlackTesla]

This is true but it is now finally very close to being featuee complete. Also, remember, unlike most software nobody in the history of the world has solved this, so they are getting hit with many unexpected challenges and roadblocks. Not saying it's OK to sell as-is but they have to start somewhere

[@Rick9482]

Well, my first thought is your driving environment is not very challenging. Too much driving with nothing happening. At 81, buying FSD makes no sense but that monthly, at $99, sounds about right. I'll subscribe every few months to see how it's developing but I won't be a regular subscriber until it's finished which I don't think will be that long. IMO, maybe a year out but definitely within two years. I believe the safety of driving with FSD will be so obvious that government pussyfooting will just get overridden as I can visualize Biden winning again and continuing his anti Tesla behavior. The nag used to bother me a lot until I realized toggling the right scroll wheel turns it off. Don't really understand why the onscreen instructions still say to put pressure on the steering wheel. 3 1/2 years into owning a Tesla! I drive the safest and fastest car in class. OH YEAH!!!
