So, I got the free Full Self driving trial this morning
Tesla has a promotion to give every Tesla owner FSD for one month for free. They are doing this to collect more data. So, I used it this morning to get from my home to my daughter's school and then from her school to Wawa and then from Wawa back home. 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.

Send it down to Steve and have it take him to the drag strip. Maybe that will shut him up once and for all. I for one am sick of seeing his wife flipping off the tail lights. And his better than all attitude since he moved to the swamp side of the island. That would give him a reason to dust off his fire suit.

no, I didn't risk anything. The trial is called "SUPERVISED" trial and you need to keep your eyes on the road (interior camera is watching your eyes). So, obviously, I stepped on the brakes and slowed to school zone speed limit. That's the way you are SUPPOSED to use FSD. It is BETA software and needs supervision. Tesla communicates that CLEARLY to users. You have to tap on AGREE that this is supposed to be supervised and you have to intervene if the system makes mistakes. You can choose NOT to use it if you are NOT comfortable doing that. The PURPOSE of the free trial is to gather data and fix issues like that. While I personally wouldn't pay $8k for FSD (unless it was out of beta and not requiring supervision), I'm more than happy to help making the system better by participating in the free trial.

Fine is $300 in your county for over 19 mph, that would have killed a few hot lunches.

Today I learned that controlling a the speed of a vehicle is NOT a driving skill.

Interesting. But I have zero desire in having a self driving vehicle.
