Tesla FSD FREAKS OUT!! | Full Self Driving

[@ThisIsTeslaTrippin]

Tesla FSD works really well in most situations, but I found one stretch of road near me that it doesn’t like very much!

[@redmanblue]

Yes I had a problem with a wall on the highway even with 12.5.6.1.(E2E on highway). I was on a sharply curved exit that was enclosed on one side by the structure of another ramp. FSD freaked out and disengaged with the big red screen. It was actually dangerous as I was heading towards the "wall" and had to quickly steer. This incident ruined what was otherwise a very smooth highway ride with 12.4.6. 1

I drive a lot at night, my last version was v12.5.4.1, with the v12.5.4.2 update it missis right and left turn lanes a lot, stays in the center lane and doesn't make the turn, then i have to u turn and backtrack. Both versions stop on yellow lights too aggressively instead of going through the yellow. It makes me anxious approaching green lights and always ready to tap the accelerator to push through a yellow if needed instead of being slamed against the steering wheel in a quick stop. It doesn't recognize a school zone, school bus, emergency vehicle. Both versions take some freeway offramps way too fast and I have to hit the brake and disengage quickly to keep from sliding off the road, there isn't a speed limit sign on some of those but a normal driver would see the turn and let off the accelerator and slow down appropriately without a speed limit sign. It doesn't recognize yellow speed limit signs in construction zones. In just two days after the v12.5.4.2 update I got locked out of fsd. Just two days and I got the red blinking red steering wheel several times on map or fsd errors where the car got stuck, often making sharp turns at low speed, fork in the road, etc. I try to report the disengagements but with that red steering wheel blinking and the alerts blaring I don't have time to do it. I dont think it was counting down the 5 errors to an FSD lockout. I have driven over a year with 100% fsd driving and never had a lockout before. Not happy about that at all, now I have to wait a week to engage FSD again. My 2021 MYLR doesn't have IR (infra red) illumination on the cabin camera for attention monitoring. I put a $20 wyze camera on the dash pointing at the driver so the red night vision IR led's turn on when it is dark, it works most of the time, but I need a cabin camera upgrade with the IR source like the new models have so it works properly at night. FSD needs more work but in general it is always getting better and I learn to anticipate the failures, I'm and old guy, I really don't like driving without it, I kind of forgot how to drive on my own - haha. I probably won't drive much for a week until the FSD lock expires and then I can drive my car again.

Interesting info, thanks for that. I agreed that FSD is far from perfect, but it slowly gets better with each update. I’m curious when it will know how to go through things like drive-thru windows :)

[@danielkuttel7867]

You can send feedback directly from your tesla speech assistant „Send Feedback“. Everytime when you occur a situation that’s not going well, you can at least transfer the problem to tesla (you sent too the last minutes of camera recording and other data) and maybe they will fix it.

[@ThisIsTeslaTrippin]

@danielkuttel7867 Yes, I do send feedback to Tesla for most disengagements. I think it’s great that Tesla accepts feedback to make the system better.

Seems like a smooth ride, I bet some Lyft & Uber riders would get a kick out of the FDS feature!

[@vickykennel7414]

too slow, hesitant....nope they wont

[@MOOTANT1]

That freakishly OTT alarm would likely stop me from using FSD. The basic collision alert is jarring enough for me (I've never gotten used to it). But that one in the video, that's doom level 10 stuff.

[@ThisIsTeslaTrippin]

Hahah, yeah I agree

[@Pompeo63]

When the car passes under a bridge and reaches a place where the sun doesn't shine, and the light suddenly dims, FSD will prompt that it needs to take over. Does this abnormal situation happen multiple times? Is it random or does it happen every time? Tesla needs to figure out why. This behavior does not happen in FSD 12.5.6.3.

[@ThisIsTeslaTrippin]

Interesting! I’ll have to try the same stretch of road when I get the next version update.

[@yl0000]

Let’s hope when they merge/replace the highway stack with the “real” FSD stack, that problem will go away.

[@ThisIsTeslaTrippin]

Agreed! Baby steps. It’ll keep getting better.

Are you hw4 or hw3

Wouldn't trust that at all

Ironically, it’s the people who have never used Autopilot/FSD who say that.

[@TomTWalker]

You're not supposed to trust FSD. That's why it is called FSD *_Supervised._* I've been using FSD Beta (and later, "Supervised") for 4 years now. I feel less safe when I'm *_not_* using it. It sees so much more than I do. But it still needs to be supervised for those few situations that it does not yet handle. For that reason, I only "trust" it when I'm paying attention, and it forces me to pay attention via eye tracking. Using it is safer because it sees stuff that I don't see, and I see stuff it's not yet programmed to handle (which is maybe 2% of driving). Most drives I don't have to intervene at all. When you hear a report of, for example, of FSD stopping in the middle of a freeway causing a pile-up, that is the driver's fault. If the car starts to slow down for no reason, all that the driver has to do is press the accelerator. Humans are the weak link -- especially the very young (e.g. 16 to 25) and very old. I'm approaching the latter category, so hoping FSD will reach un-supervised status (i.e. better than humans) before I become a danger to the road. What people *_shouldn't_* trust are 15 year olds with permits, and under 19 with licences, and men who have to drive fast to prove their masculinity. The key miscommunication regarding FSD is that most assume FSD is in control. It is not yet. The human is still in full control.
