So, I got the free Full Self driving trial this morning

Another good scenario but I doubt that we have something like that in my town. Definitely something that should be tested.

Yes, it's called RED LIGHT RACING MODE. Car auto detects if there is a fast car beside you and automatically switches to drag strip mode, lowers the car and takes off at the light and accelerates until 10 mph above the speed limit

As you can see some are just incapable. And the barn has provided an appropriate automatic response system.

There are bike lanes all over the island, most not connected to the roadway. There are small stop signs like that where they cross roads. I suspect the FSD would stop at every one of them.

Most bicyclists ignore them like they do all other road signs and laws, and some cars stop at them.

So in other words, Tesla is developing an individual bus for people who don't want to drive. Why the carbon footprint then, when buses already exist, and even electrc ones?

Adds to the soullessness of the vehicle

Not in these parts. Usually a flagman or cop using hand signals.

Looks confusing to me. I would probably be confused.

This is a perfect example of why software techs are not engineers.

In related news.

I started and operated my vehicle all by myself this morning. No accidents or anything.

I am every bit as good as a Tesla, if not better, and to date, no one in my family has caught fire.

But no warm meal, so you're hungry.

Nope, and it never will. Nor will it have the feature to maintain a close following distance (what the Karens would call "tailgating") in order to prevent aggressive assholes from cutting in line in front of you, even though the reflexes of a computer are more than adequate for that task.

When you finally get laid off from your programming job you should write that app.

I would rather work on a tree reader app for the drag strip.. Car stages itself very shallow and takes off every time with a perfect reaction time. That would be something I'd like to have

He probably pays $40 for Tesla branded T shirts and whatever else to pimp the brand, too. What an absolute ROCK HEAD.

The system did NOT make any driving mistakes BUT it completely ignored school zone speed limits. Here in Florida, we usually have a flashing light combined with a school zone speed limit sign. So, whenever the light is flashing, you are supposed to go that speed. FSD did not care and kept on going at the normal, non school time, speed limit. While the system drove very good and obeyed all other system, this is still not ready for prime time. I'm glad that I'm not paying for it. I may consider it once it is out of beta. I reported the school zone incidents via the reporting feature that prompts you to explain why you disengaged FSD. Hopefully, the next update will fix the school zone issue. Other than that, I had no issues but the school zone issue is a big one. While I doubt that the car would hit a kid, it could cost you a high $$$$ fine if you get caught doing 45 mph at a 15 mph school zone speed limit.

Oh well, what’s a few dead school children, it’s all for the good of Tesla Beta testing!!! It’s all part of the learning curve. How amazing!!!!

Gotta be aggressive to stay ahead of those aggressive assholes.

Wonder what it does when a school bus is boarding with the lights flashing?
