[@trock781]

You're joking right?

[@MonkeySmart12325]

And it is totally useless. There is a shit load of other solutions that actually works. Once Rolls-Royce representatives were asked why they do not invest and develop driving aids and self driving into their cars. They politely replied that they have solved this problem 100 years ago. Its called personal driver, it gets you in any conditions anywhere safely, parks and picks you up, he does not need lanes or other road infrastructure to operate and works 100% anywhere in a world.

[@BobbieGWhiz]

@@MonkeySmart12325 Sorry that you find it totally useless. I find it somewhat useful, although it could be better of course. I think parking assist is a more viable option for 99+% of owners rather than hiring a driver.

[@MonkeySmart12325]

@@BobbieGWhiz you did not get the point, key problem with tesla is that they do try to reinvent the wheel instead of using it. Instead of making sure the solutions they have works 100% every time, they instead delivers half baked solutions that works occasionally or only if certain favorable conditions met.

[@nrg4285]

Dude this video is KILLER. I love these. I'm not even a real Tesla fan or Elon-stan, I just genuinely enjoy the tech and your testing of it. Can't wait for more!

[@Dubitz]

That top-down editing was really helpful and truly shows just how accurate the Vision system can be, while also pointing out where exactly is currently has weaknesses!

[@celeron55]

It almost looks like even Tesla isn't using this kind of methodology to check the performance.

[@jhawk3910]

Why isn’t Tesla’s AP team calling you to provide you with V12, like they are with Omar from the Whole Mars Catalog? Your analysis of FSD is light years better than anyone else on social media.

[@AIDRIVR]

I've been staring at my phone waiting for the call that hasn't come :[

[@EnricoManuti]

Fastest notification click ever, this is the test I’ve been waiting for. Aerial view compared to the 3D reconstruction, this is the only thing I wanted to see and nobody did this test, THANK YOU!

[@GreylanderTV]

3:59 This is likely less about "memory" than about uncertainty whether the curb is an object(s) that might move. So as the curbs passes out of view, FSD has to ascribe some chance for the curb to have moved since the last time it was seen. FSD clearly has a degree of "object permanence", but much less certainty in predicting what occluded objects are likely to do.

[@benediktfreude]

Good point! Haven't thought of that myself

[@Juan.Irizar]

I'm pretty sure the reason for this is that the car doesn't have a bumper camera looking forward, from afar you have the windshield camera accurately calculating, but as soon as you get close it loses visibility and is just an estimation.

[@GreylanderTV]

@@Juan.Irizar Lack of camera is _why_ the curb goes out of view. This happens to humans all the time, but we know that curbs do not move and have a pretty accurate estimation of where it is and how close we are. Eventually FSD will be able to do this as well, but right now once something is out of view of any cameras, it becomes increasingly uncertain about whether it is there and where it is, which is what we are seeing in the visualization.

[@baab4229]

@@GreylanderTV Why not just assume that anything that's not a human or has wheels has practically zero chance of moving? Why does it have assign a chance of moving away to every single object it sees? The only objects that move so easily during the same drive are lighter objects like plastic bags and paper which are not a threat for the car anyway.

[@GreylanderTV]

@@baab4229 Of course. But this is not something you just program into a neural network. The NN must _learn_ even the most basic facts about the 3D visual world. This takes time and data. FSD has the inference-time compute power of something like a squirrel brain, while the training server clusters have the computing power of maybe a chimp, which is what is responsible for the _learning._ Think about how long it takes a human baby to just lean object permanence (about 8 months). Then 2-3 years to get all the basic physics of what objects are and how they behave. Also note that "practically zero chance" is not _zero_ chance. You don't want self driving cars rolling dice on getting into accidents. But as you can see from the video, it completed the maneuver, so it was certain enough that it would not hit the curb. Just not as certain as a human, so we see the curb "smear" in the visualization.

[@89bazoly]

I really appreciate when someone puts this much work into such a short video, excellent job! Although I would watch 1 hour videos from you anytime :)

[@cstwister]

Can’t wait for your videos on FSDv12. You make some of the best videos to assess FSD performance.

[@AIDRIVR]

Appreciate it! Tell Elon to send it to me pls

[@NorwayChallenge]

4:42 isn’t that because the front camera is above the windshield meaning it has a very significant blind spot in front of the bumper? The lack of ultrasonic sensors makes it even worse. This is a hardware design issue and something the software simply can’t fix.

[@alexdylan04]

Literally all i can say is, thank you. This is the perfect video to display this feature!!! Amazing, will gladly stick here with you!

[@jasonpanosh9579]

Really impressive overlay of the real with the virtual, makes the comparison easy to see.

[@Xanthopteryx]

Ultrasonic and 360 camera on my Volvo works very well. And yes, it can detect curbs, and the camera makes it even better. That outperforms this from Tesla. Why? Because it is not guestimating. It is more close to reality. And ultrasonic also works in pitch black and also works when you do not have very low contrast, like snowwall against snow. And they also work even when dirty.

[@benjaminkindle1841]

[@spencerjoplin2885]

7:19 “worst this is ever going to be.” Generally yes, though the history of isolated regressions have been acute enough for some people to disagree.

[@jaystarr6571]

IKR. The next update could be a buggy mess!

[@minus2837]

My Tesla cameras are affected by rain, snow, ice, dirt, salt, condensation in tunnels, and even bright sunshine. That doesn't leave many days with weather conditions where cameras are usable. So as impressive as the video here looks, I'm wondering if the tech is effectively unavailable most of the time for half the countries on the planet. So at the same time as removing the manual controls that are still going to be vital for manually driving the car, the camera-only solution means the car won't be self driving either for the duration of the time people would usually keep the car.

[@1519Spring]

The memory issue is spot on. I pulled out of my driveway and had my garbage can at the curb. I brought it in the garage and moved the car. It thought the garbage can was still there.

[@philliptemple9841]

That is a BRILLIANT way to show how accurate it is. Thanks for all that hard work. I have ultrasonic but it's not that good for me where I live as I really need more accuracy. If the new vision can get accuracy to within 10cm then that will be amazing. Phillip.

[@JustinDaniels]

Your editing on these videos is very impressive.

[@ProperSauce]

crazy good visualization method

[@CanisoGaming]

The issue with objects disappearing when u get too close is most definitely because it's vision only, if they merged between 2 tech it would've been much more accurate. But yeah I believe they still can make a lot of improvements to this overtime

[@mackxue779]

Your testing methodology, editing, and analysis is simply the best there is! Super looking forward to V12 testing!

[@minso8164]

BIG YIKES with that Rivian crash for sure

[@theaimuse]

I have been driving my Model 3 Highland since late November. I love the car on so many levels - but I have to say, the parking assist is pretty terrible. When I park in my driveway it is always insisting I am driving inside the walls, despite having 30-50cm distance still. That is parking front-first usually. Generally parking front first gives very inaccurate estimations.

[@ryanrowat6640]

Great work on this video. The time and effort you spent truly shows. I hope the tesla team sees it

[@CharlesBurnsPrime]

Version 11 tests are not pointless. I think they are an opportunity for even more videos, because you can set up some version 11 tests specifically for comparison with version 12 after its release last November.

[@SyntheticSpy]

Yeah this is a good point. See if you can get some footage of tests that you can compare against directly when you get V12

[@LittleSpot]

"with time it will getting better, hopefully" is the most used sentence in this videos. Whats about Windscreen wipers? They are usable now? Or will they get better?😂

[@sb-knight]

This is actually a pretty cool system! With a few tweaks to how its rendering the environment, you could make it work pretty flawlessly. One thing that stuck out is how it handles static objects. If it knew something was a line or a curb within a certain perimeter of the car, it would not need to keep updating that but instead just use reference frames. The cone is a good example, it knew a cone was there but then once it lost sight it deleted it from its surroundings. If it knew it was a cone once it hit a high enough certanty level and had the position locked in, objects like that would not be an issue.

[@itsprochy]

It's all fun and games until someone puts an RC cone in the parking lot... /s

[@johans7119]

I hope this improves quickly, it's disconcerting when it doesn't display some vehicles and everything jiggles around

[@D64nz]

The lack of sensors means this will never get enough accuracy to be useful. Cameras only isn't up to the task, and this is why Tesla is at the back of the pack when it comes to FSD.

[@walterwhite1]

[@christiansipes5633]

Not trying to make an ass out of myself here. I'm kinda a tesla fan boy due to it being the only information I have been exposed to.

[@hispronounsaretheythem]

[@JCintheBCC]

It's unfortunate that the fidelity and accuracy decreases as you approach objects, given that the modeling and visualization are ostensibly for parking in tight spaces.

[@raulruly]

Much lower ultra sonic sensors paired with this would serve to better display the cone scenario and maybe even cubs. Plus I really don't think this system alone would detect a kid playing hide and seek in the front of the car.

[@caseyford3368]

Yes. More cameras and sensors all around the EVs would greatly help. Look into gasless and oiless self running generators. Already proven and patented for many years. Now, combine the self running generators and solar in EVs and everything else. No more plugging in, no more charging stations and no more limited range.😎🇺🇸 Please look up the gasless and oiless self running generators, patents and technologies, thoroughly. Not just a little or not at all. We already have the tech needed to go far beyond our many issues and limitations.

[@aigarius]

Other cars don't just have the stitched top-down view. You can also switch to viewing individual cameras, without distortion or fantasies. And also - yes, there are dedicated curb-detection ultrasonic sensors that are pointing *down* at the curbs and measure distance between your wheel and the curb at sub-centimeter precision.

[@YourAverageReviews]

Imagine if Tesla actually had accuracy like that!

[@1519Spring]

[@OrkusReOrca]

I have a byd atto3 with 360 cam. Those cam are only useful for looking at the line on the floors and the curbs infront that’s blind by the front of the car only. Anything higher than like 10 cm off the ground will absolutely get distort and unseeable, just like that trailer. So yea we don’t rely on it that much, but it’s good for blindspot and parallel parking ❤

[@Goodhello369]

Excellent concept and execution here. Ive never seen this done before. Really helps us to see what its doing. Keep it up!

[@rolandrohde]

This is incredibly interesting footage! Thanks for making the effort to create this "hybrid view" for us... For me it shows several key aspects: 1) Cars without a front bumper camera will never be reliable with a camera only system. The blind spot is simply too large. 2) To make this work beyond the 3mph speed will likely require Hardware that is orders of magnitude faster than was currently cars have onboard 3) combining USS and Cameras would likely have yielded better and more accurate results.

[@user-to2rf1rj5v]

4:18 better memory here would be totally unnecessary if it just had a front facing camera down low...like Cybertruck. Amazing Tesla is just totally ignoring this.

[@Jodrco]

The drone view footage combined with Tesla vision was amazing! I would love to see more of this. With pillars, cones, small things, sharp edges, steep roads?? An extensive review would be awesome!

6:08 - _"In my opinion all it really needs is a memory of what it's already seen"_ Easy said than done... what you said brought me back to 2018~2019 when I was working with computer vision and "all we really needed was memory of what our models had already seen". We never solved that problem with the model(s) we were using ;)

[@kilpatds]

The FSD visuals are currently something completely different... what the car logically knows about/has modeled. The Park Assist visuals are the topology map + some markings, and are much closer to a camera-based view. I think they serve different purposes, and hope that both exist in the future.

[@Buggabones]

[@iitool]

Congrats on the 100k subs! Awesome work on the overlay too!

[@gillmor2386]

I've been driving a Tesla M3 for many years and am usually open to new technologies. But despite all the enthusiasm, I think we should leave the church in the village. For me, what Tesla is offering here is at most a nice gimmick, because we are talking about a parking aid, i.e. a system that is supposed to help you park. If the system on offer is unsuitable for its intended purpose because it does not recognize obstacles to the front or rear, detects all sorts of things in the rain and, since the discontinuation of the USS, does not provide reliable information on distance, then for me this is not a revolutionary technology, but rather one poor parking aid with fancy graphics. If I had the choice, I would immediately swap the Tesla's computer-generated display for the system with the 360 ​​degree camera image display including USS, which most cars have installed as standard these days. Although I don't have the wow effect when the Tesla detects any object, I do have a system that fulfills its purpose of existence almost 100% correctly and that I can trust in all weather conditions. Despite all the enthusiasm for technology, evolution always comes before revolution, but because Tesla always prefers revolution, we dummy testers now have to use our metal.

[@ArchiWorldRuS]

The problem you mentioned several times "Why tesla can't remember the right position and stick to that instead of updating to wrong?" is actually a pretty common problem in programming overall! Especially when you're solving problems that require some calculations, probability estimations, etc. It's very easy and obvious to our eyes to catch the correct solution but sadly for computer it's just several cases with equal probability. How the car should know, that the curb's position was estimated correctly in the first attempt? What if it was wrong and actually the thing was closer? That's where a real debugging pain comes in😂

[@Tubeytime]

I'm so confused about whether self driving will be real or not. I've seen enough long-form essays disparaging the idea from people with sound reason that my confidence in the idea is shaken. I'm glad you're holding the line, and keeping an objective view on the matter. Cheers!

A car not being able to see what is directly in front of it is absolute negligence, and I’m surprised you’ve given them so much slack on this point.
