  1. When talking about FSD's mistakes, I think we should distinguish between safety related mistakes and non-safety related mistakes. This would be important info to know. You could be having whole drives with zero safety-related mistakes and just some occasional annoying mistakes (like having to press the throttle).

  2. With that delayed left turn; FSD's eyes are in the middle of the car; the driver's eyes can be far left of that, so, easier to see that there were no cars coming in the oncoming left lane. FSD wasn't as sure, so it err'd on the side of caution. I know someone in that exact same scenario who didn't wait, and went, and got hit (at 50 MPH).

  3. I'm assuming that in low visibility weather the car will refuse to drive as a human might? Is that the reason Tesla doesn't employ infrared cameras so that it won't try to drive at all in those situations of little to no visibility?

  4. My main concern is rain / snow. Sam Francisco has great weather and I’m not surprised it’s doing so well there. There isn’t enough YouTubers doing a lot of this in poor weather conditions. Dirty Tesla is probably the only one. But with conditions of heavy rain at night which we have to drive a lot in UK… my Model 3 keeps saying reduced visibility just on highway autopilot. Maybe when V12 comes out you could do some testing in an area with poor weather and at night? As that’s basically the time people have to drive for 3-4 months the of the year. You leave in the dark in the morning rain and come back in the dark and rain in the evening

  5. We just did a 150mile trip (300m there and back) with zero interventions other than one time I gave it a little accelerator when other cars where merging and it slowed to much. This was with 11.4.4. Unfortunately I didn't film this particular trip. Waiting for a new Microphone to arrive to cut down on road noise while filming.

  6. Time will tell if this is "the one", Elon seems to be excited. I'm not sure how big the compute needs to be before it can handle the 100s of millions of miles of data, but I think if this method works, it isn't going to have its "ChatGPT" moment until the compute is there

  7. I'm a fan of yours…. Great video… Does the "system" not need your help (and everyone else's) to learn the edge cases? Seems like you should intervene when it screws up to help it learn?

  8. Imagine that: when you say “take me places” Tesla would drive you around maybe based on some user input or with no input at all.
    Just car taking you to a relaxing drive.
