Tesla FSD 13.2.2 Amazes in the Manhattan Financial District & City Highways

[@BongoWongoOG]

This is the most competent FSD drive I’ve ever seen in one of the busiest places on earth. This has gotten crazy good. Thanks so much for posting.

[@savagejunkie96]

It’s that good. I wasn’t lying about the video in the title haha

[@oisiaa]

I'm an "OG" FSD beta tester with >4 years of FSD experience and I think this is the most impressive FSD video I've ever seen. It has come SO far and it almost there!

[@savagejunkie96]

Means a lot! The car performs so well but I also give it a long lease to cost me lol

[@TheSonOfKrypton]

As a driver of a HW3 FSD (Supervised) vehicle, I never watch any of these videos ALL the way through anymore….but I live in CO and this guy lives in NYC and my car NEVER comes across these complex scenarios so I HAD to watch all 47 minutes of this video hahaha. 100% retention. You crushed it with this video man! Thank you for the precious time of your life (and the high stress situations) you dedicated to making this

[@savagejunkie96]

Appreciate it! These scenarios downtown are one of a kind. The city isn’t this bad overall but these areas during the holidays are absurd

[@Uji_Metal]

Same here this guys videos are highlight after highlight

[@duuglous1]

Watching from the UK, FSD US youtube videos always seem to take place in (at least to UK eyes) inear empty roads. Waching those videos I wondered if FSD would operate on our traffic clogged roads. Now having seen your NY FSD videos I'm now confident FSD will function on our much busier, clogged roads. Thank you for uploading. Great stuff.

[@jonathanmelhuish4530]

Yeah, this is Albania-level chaos. UK driving should be no problem.

[@smoochie3331]

They should test it inplace like india.

[@VasuJaganath]

@@smoochie3331 It will never work. There are no rules and no rule enforcers in India. It might work in affluent mumbai areas like BK complex or RB city in Bengaluru but that’s about it.

[@ihearttesla]

I've watched many, many hours of FSD videos and this one is by far -the- most challenging one.🤯 GO TESLA!!!!

[@TheKeef27]

Thank you so much for this video. I was stressed out just watching it, so I can imagine exactly how you felt as your car squeezed and manoeuvred through those crazy streets with pedestrians jumping out left right and centre. And what an amazingly impressive performance by FSD. Anyone who doubts FSD will be unsupervised in the near future has their head in the sand. Thank you again for putting yourself and your car through this.

[@nimasahabi9421]

I cant believe it actually drove in Manhattan. Many prefer not to drive in Manhattan due to how hectic it gets. This is next level stuff. I think its getting close to L4 or even L5 autonomous driving.

[@zoltanberkes8559]

It's already at L4, just legally it is still L2.

[@lecisko]

Tesla could already be doing the same L4 as waymo. They are just biding time to hit it big.

[@oisiaa]

The dimensionally smaller Cybercab will make quick work of a lot of these tight spaces.

[@martinthe3rd664]

The instant reaction to the waving pedestrian at 7:54 is nuts. If you didn't specify the car did this I would have accused you of pressing the accelerator 🤯

[@falazarte]

That was crazy to watch!!

[@daveallan3152]

Thanks for showing how the technology is improving!

[@eddie42991]

Wow, this is so impressive! Many more people need to see this. Only in a few situations I thought, it could have been even a little bit more assertive. But those were pretty insane scenarios.

[@MagivaIT]

This was one of the most engaging videos I've seen. Awesome

[@Dontslaythybroski]

THIS is impressive

[@bderoes2731]

Awesome video! Can't believe you voluntarily subjected yourself to this long tortured route. I'm in Southern CA in a model Y, and often scoff at the wide-open spaces of FSD videos driving country roads and barely-occupied highways. Your Manhattan route looks like a narrow European city, and you did it in Cybertruck! Recover well, and thanks for the ride! (P.S. I discovered V13 downloading while watching this...Finally! 13.2.2.1 with the Holiday updates. yay!)

[@jooptablet1727]

It's a model X, not a Cybertruck. Impressive nonetheless!

[@d.r.656]

Cheers, it's always nice watching your vids w these great positive comments and relaxing music

[@Pompeo63]

The perfect autonomous driving test is memorable!

[@DarthEd77]

This is the most impressive FSD video I have ever seen!

[@ThePatriksthlm]

I'm glad someone is risking scratching their Tesla for science!! 👍🏼

[@PhilipAndreGjone]

They have made it ! This is clearly driving better than a human and at least equally good as any Waymo . Should be on the news .

[@ProAdi96]

And Waymo is geolocked to specific small areas while FSD can be taken pretty much anywhere, it's insane

[@thefudfarm]

wow bro... this was unreal.... I am buying more TSLA now!

[@Vision23023]

Wow wow wow! Full Self Driving has indeed arrived! Initially I thought what’s great about driving in a well organised grid like manhattan, but didn’t think about the complexity of driving with people milling about, insane levels of double parking and chaos in the relatively narrower parts. The FSD did beautifully well. Thank you for an amazing video.

[@DavidSaintloth]

FYI, the planned grid only exists north of Houston Street. South of that is pure chaos as many of those roads were predated by Indian trails from before the Dutch first settled the island in the 1600's. I can attest to having driven on those roads the chaos never ends, I'm stunned that FSD figured out every single scenario thrown its way.

[@gladeous4161]

Waymo wouldn't be able to pull this drive off.

[@ProXcaliber]

@@gladeous4161 Exactly! Waymo is about to go the same way Cruise from Chevy (GM?) did.

[@jonathanmelhuish4530]

Oh man, it's stressful even just watching this, I would hate to be driving! And yet FSD was pretty much flawless. Wild.

[@iano4027]

Wow! Just wow. Thanks for your upload. Great tests! Can u do it all over again tomorrow? 😄

[@iano4027]

You’ve got my sub! Good value video viewing right here. Pushing FSD limit!

[@Ytevel]

Simply amazing. I've seen a lot of videos about FSD and this is truly the most amazing I've seen so far. I'm convinced that with a few changes to the laws, Tesla could do FSD in Tel Aviv without a problem. In Israel, for example, it's illegal to turn right on red. But these are small changes and Tesla could easily handle driving like this in Tel Aviv. India its a different story. Great video

[@savagejunkie96]

Agreed. It’s doable!

[@peterhelm522]

This is completely crazy! Out of this world! I love your videos. Great camera perspective and brightness. One suggestion. Please comment more clearly when you intervene and for how long, because we can’t see your foot. Please also mention when people around you get annoyed from FSD.

[@savagejunkie96]

I did note the only time I intervened which was by the bull downtown. I could try to capture the foot pedal but the camera is so awkward if I move it down more

[@RaduSamanc]

Please do a Queens Boulevard drive, especially around the Queens Mall area. Thanks, this has been very helpful in evaluating the state of FSD. Great job.

[@ihearttesla]

FSD in NYC = AMAZING!!!👍👍 Love your videos, thank you! Just subscribed.

[@vinod8941]

Great video!! Fsd 13 is really good. You might encounter some superhuman driving stuff.

[@jimbob6062]

Get the Tesla haters to watch this video. Absolutely awesome display of FSD. How does anyone drive in New York????

[@bumsitheburner]

The reversing at right turn move was wild 💥 we going places

[@billbell3737]

I've watched a lot of FSD videos and this is by far the best stress test of FSD. KUDOS!!! Once there is awareness it will be crazy not to get a Tesla and use FSD.

[@VincentChiu]

Your fsd videos are rapidly becoming the most anticipated. Keep up the great work. Love seeing you really put fsd 13 through its paces. If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere! 😅. LFG Tesla AI!

[@Vardraq]

Oh my word. The way people park in New York is insane. This should be policed more, and there should be delivery zones installed, so delivery trucks wouldn't need to park on a lane of traffic. I thought it was already pretty bad in Berlin, Germany, but this is a whole other level.

[@redcrumb]

New York traffic is sooo sooo perfect for testing FSD. Thank you for showing us all this. I thank you as a TSLA investor! This is just such a stressful area. Cant wait for FSD to master autonomy so humans can just sleep through all these stressful areas in the world. By the way, is there anyway to smoothen out the camera vibrations? My eye just cant seems to get used to them, makes me alittle car sick. Amazing effort and work! I know the hours of work that goes into editing the video. Appreciate it.

[@QuantumSynths1]

This is remarkable. Now I'd like to see how it does in the rain. Having driven these roads my whole life, I know first hand how treacherous these roads are. I am truly impressed. You should try going over the GW bridge from New Jersey and heading up to the RFK bridge. There's always that one gnarly pothole as you come off the bridge.

[@savagejunkie96]

I did a video in the rain a few days ago. It’s on my channel. I was thinking about that drive and will attempt another time

[@Gelp]

Superb video! Thank you 😊

[@StevenRenStimpy]

Battery garage is a great stress test for FSD parking, you should keep testing new versions here. If it can handle that, it can handle any garage. They have an automatic plate reader to get in and out, so it could probably enter and exit on its own eventually. That would be a godsend if you live/work in FiDi since it’s the only public garage around. Also, that ramp of doom stresses me out every time I drive up or down it in my Model X

[@StevenRenStimpy]

Another interesting test scenario nearby is navigating to Rector St while going southbound on West St. Probably one of the most insane sections of manhattan during rush hour. FSD version 12.5 (HW3) always makes a mistake here and doesn’t merge right fast enough to avoid being forced to take either the FDR exit or the tunnel exit - very bad. FSD has also had issues in tunnels like the Battery tunnel. The tight lanes and vertical lane dividers spook the car into going super slow. On past versions, it has even tried to merge into oncoming traffic by driving over the dividers. Tunnels also mess up the GPS causing FSD to get lost.

[@elan191173]

As my grandma used to say, “my heinie was workin’ buttonholes” all the way through that video!

[@bobholland9924]

Most of the guys posting FSD content dont trust the car knows its size. Your solved that . Nice

[@savagejunkie96]

I like to live on the edge what can I say haha

[@TeslaTobi]

Very cool. I took mine through Boston’s North End, which is similarly insane. It drove perfectly, and that was with v12…

[@qqleq]

Ok, no other KZbinr can claim any stress-testing anymore after this. This is the stressiest test I’ve ever seen and I’ve been watching many hundreds of FSD videos from the beginning!

Outstanding job?! It wore me out just watching! 4:08

Amazing drive. I think this is the top difficulty level for driving in the big city. Now, we need to throw it in Vietnam or India to see how it deals with a maze of motorbikes around.

[@aanshsinghania7780]

Viewer from India. India is the ultimate test but it will have to unlearn a lot of things like following lanes , waiting for pedestrians not blocking intersections. These things don't apply here

[@meganote]

[@naruto41793]

That was amazing to watch wow 🤯

[@axion8788]

Amazing! Displaying the FSD animation (that's your small display) on the big screen would be much more interesting than showing the map/route. The visualization let's you "see" what the car is "thinking" and shows off how it recognizes people, cars, etc.

[@rowland5951]

Seriously impressive 👏 👌

[@h.e.c.]

Hi Jordan, thank you for your great FSD videos! The NYC ones gives me PTSD, and bring back memories of years of driving (manually indeed) in another similarly crazy capital city. And at the same time it brings a great confidence in the big progress the FSD is making with v13. I personally would drive manually in NYC only snow plow or garbage truck ... 🤣

[@aerolynx2700]

That was a very relaxing video. Great demo. I would love to see the upper third of the screen with footage from a 360 camera in equirectangular projection I so that we can see more from the vehicles sorrounding and for sightseeing purposes 😊 Never been to NY.

[@savagejunkie96]

@@aerolynx2700 I thought about this but driving around NYC with a camera on a pole is a good way to attract more attention than we want lol

[@Mrrickyboy41]

Wow! What an incredible drive. I think we can safely say that FSD can be notched up to level 3 driving. With the fast improvements we have been seeing in just 6 months, next year should be the year that FSD can go fully autonomous.

[@TCRS16]

Looks like the car reacts to people waving...insane.... Thank you for a GREAT drive. This is indeed the most impressive drive I've seen in a long time. I have the feeling Tesla AI solved it.. the only things left are more sustainable parking moves and (apparently) parking garages...🙂

[@stevem3439]

I am writing from Italy, I was born in 1975 and when I was about 10 years old I watched SUPERCAR, KITT on TV. I thought the car was driving itself, but obviously it was a TV series so it was all fake. Today, after 40 years, it is no longer fiction and when I tell people that Teslas drive themselves, I am the one laughing at those who don't believe. Excuse my English, I am using Google Translate.

[@ericandi]

I owned a Tesla Model 3 Performance from 2020 to 2022. My Tesla had FSD Beta from its initial launch until I sold my Tesla to buy a Corvette. Last month, I sold my Corvette and bought a 2024 Model 3 Performance with the expectation that FSD had advanced significantly since I sold my Tesla in September 2022, but FSD 12.5 was a mixed bag. There were definitely improvements over whatever version of FSD I had in 2022, but not the massive improvements I expected after 2 years of updates. With 12.5, I still couldn’t drive more than 10 miles, on average, without having to intervene to avoid a major incident. A few days ago, I got 13.2.2 and it’s amazing. For the first time, FSD drove me 45 minutes to work and 45 minutes back home without a single intervention. I honestly think FSD is less than a year away from being able to drive unsupervised. It’s not quite there yet. At this point, I still wouldn’t be able to sleep without worrying, but it’s getting very cold to that point. One critique I have is with Hurry mode. It has a bad tendency to wait until the last minute to get in the correct lane to make a turn or exit a highway. When there is lots of traffic, waiting until the last minute to get in the correct lane often creates a situation where FSD has to quickly and unsafely cuts in front of another car, or it has to wait, stopped in the wrong, until it get over into the correct lane, otherwise it would miss the exit or turn.

[@martinwolf9495]

Awesome! It's insane what FSD can already do 🎉

[@Tschacki_Quacki]

12:35 is crazy. You say "it squeezes in" but it kinda doesn't. It figured out that the oncoming Model Y is slowing down, probably to stop for the pedestrians waiting at the crosswalk and when that scenario was confirmed, it went for it.

[@savagejunkie96]
