I highly recommend this article for the video of a self-driving vehicle in India. Very amusing if nothing else. https://spectrum.ieee.org/india-self-driving-car

It was a very dramatic slowdown causing me to immediately mash the accelerator. Was more like stopping than slowing. Very obvious freaking out.

Had a bit of a scary situation the other day. Was driving to the airport using FSDS and had just merged onto the freeway when a motorcycle moved into our lane and started slowing dramatically. The car paid absolutely no attention and I had to break hard to avoid a collision. Still came about 6...

Although I tend to think people complaining about acceleration off the line are nuntso, and my wife as a passenger agrees, I do wish chill-aggressive actually did something for people who want to drive like grandma and leave aggressive for those of us that don’t want to impede traffic. That...

My 2018 M3 in SoCal recently updated to 12.3.3. Today I set my profile to no fsd and then when I wanted TACC, I found it was on fsd(s). No message other than the email. And my MX up in Oregon is still on fsd 11. Looking forward for another SpaceX launch hopefully visible from here in La Quinta...

Yesterday evening, while driving to LaQuinta from Palm Springs, I had to disengage due to …. … SpaceX! We knew the approximate time of the launch and when we looked to the west, there it was. Fortunately, I was able to pull over and got a good view. Very cool. Was able to get a long iPhone...

From https://spectrum.ieee.org/trillion-transistor-gpu Training GPT-3, for example, requires the equivalent of more than 5 billion billion operations per second of computation for an entire day (that’s 5,000 petaflops-days), and 3 trillion bytes (3 terabytes) of memory capacity. Recommend...

After the holiday update and before 12.3, my 2018 m3 did not honor continuous torque and when I got a nag, I had to torque in the reverse direction for a second or so. Try that. With 12.3, no nags with continuous torque.

I blew a tire and rim while driving manually because the deep pothole was black just like a series of filled holes. About a 1000 bucks.

And I think that really is a thing. But was for cryptocurrency if I recall correctly. Which I seldom do.

Hey guys, how about defining acronyms the first time you use them in a post. Even though I spend an hour or more reading this, er, material, I had to look up: SOTA is an acronym for State-Of-The-Art. In the context of Artificial Intelligence

Yeah, I’m not sure if Tesla has code exterior to the end-to-end net, but it seems needed for unusual situations.

It would, but only after being trained on millions of examples of good drivers in that situation. It is end-to-end, right?

Although I setup a no fsd profile, 12.3 works so well and with a good wife approval factor, I have not needed it. My recent drives have had a destination so I don’t know how well I would feel about my more typical non-destination drives. Also, I think Elon is behind the forced single pull...

Must have been painful. Apologies if I have been ninjaed, I am a few days behind.

Be sure to try reversing the torque direction. BTW, under 12.3, I have been able to avoid the nag with constant torque just like previous to the holiday update.

Yesterday, on 12.3, I turned on FSD with minimize lane changes while in the middle of 3 lanes. With no traffic around, I signaled left wanting to change lanes but the car never honored my request. I had to cancel. I also dislike the single pull and use a “no fsd” profile to easily enable cruise...

In anticipation of fsdb 12,3, I created a profile named no fsd, that has fsdb turned off and TACC and autosteer on. I do prefer using TACC and manual steering for most drives around town because FSDb is stressful and also I don’t want to bother entering a destination. Although I have not tried...

Oops, I should’ve mentioned that my m3 is in California. My Mx in Oregon has not gotten the 12 update yet.

Same here. 2018 m3. In preparation, I added a new profile that I named no fsd, so I can use TACC without autosteer.

If the nag won’t go away while torquing, try reversing the direction. You may need to alternate directions frequently.

As I have reported elsewhere, ever since the holiday update, constant torque no longer works on my 2018 m3. It now requires alternating torque direction. My 2019 mx, however, still works fine. So, if you get nags that won’t go away with even more force, try reversing direction.

Has happened multiple times to me. Each time, even though I override , my wife exclaims “I hate your car.”

For many years I have driven with autopilot and then FSDb using one hand at 5 o’clock or 7 o’clock to provide continuous torque. Never was bothered by nags. Now, as of the holiday update, I get the "Apply slight turning force to steering wheel" nag even though I am already dong so. I have tried...

Yes, right after posting that, I thought, am I sure I have no cabin camera? Pretty sure no IR illuminators, though.

Your 2018 m3 doesn’t have a cockpit camera does it? Mine doesn’t.

l’ve posted this elsewhere but: (TLDR: constant torque no longer works, now need periodic direction switching) For many years I have driven with autopilot and then FSDb using one hand at 5 o’clock or 7 o’clock to provide continuous torque. Never was bothered by nags. Now, as of the holiday...

Off topic, but that list is a hoot. I may aspire to be a beer coil cleaner when I grow up.

Here is something I reported in another thread. You might get some useful ideas: For many years I have driven with autopilot and then FSDb using one hand at 5 o’clock or 7 o’clock to provide continuous torque. Never was bothered by nags. Now, as of the holiday update, I get the "Apply slight...

Yeah, if I wasn’t so lazy, I’d file a NHTSA complaint. But I am.

There are many different wavelength bands of IR. Near, mid, thermal etc. Thermal does no go through glass or plastic (silicon and germanium are often used as lenses or windows.) The eye tracking IR is most certainly near IR, perhaps around 800 nm.

no! How is that going to work on a straight road - there is no turning to resist. The message says "Apply slight turning force to steering wheel". I use one hand and simply never get nags. Have been driving Teslas since 2013. I use my right hand at about 5 o’clock partly resting on my knee in...

Of what year?

I’ve always wondered what these folks that can’t keep one hand on the wheel are doing that needs both hands. Or perhaps it would be better not to know…

No. You need to heed the new updated message I saw recently "Apply slight turning force to steering wheel". I hold with my thumb and forefinger at about 5 o’clock and apply about the weight of my hand. Never use two hands unless one is at the bottom applying no turning force that might cancel...

Worked for me too

I use one hand and simply never get nags. Have been driving Teslas since 2013. I use my right hand at about 5 o’clock partly resting on my knee in my 3 (in my X, my knee is too far away.) I simply hook my thumb and forefinger and provide a slight continuous torque. I have never disabled...

Noticed brake lights flash during the creep. Doubt fsd would do that, probably human driven.

Should probably be a sticky

Fred Lambert, who used to post here in the early days, had 11.4.7 try to change left into a freeway emergency vehicle crossing area. https://electrek.co/2023/09/01/tesla-fsd-beta-tried-to-kill-me-last-night/

Not sure how to do this link, but here is a very through analysis of Waymo and Cruse safety: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/09/are-self-driving-cars-already-safer-than-human-drivers/ That was easy, just paste it. At least using copy-paste on an iPad, may have done more than plain text.

I seem to recall that the the I-pace is not long for this world. But with my memory, who knows. So, I googled it, and yes, it is being discontinued.

In my experience FSDb (14.4) already does this. Previously, it would change speed exactly as it passes the sign. Now it does, maybe, 50 feet ahead of the sign.

Should you be driving at such a young age?

Good that you folks are describing this as I cannot watch since I am not on X and never will be (no I don’t care if it’s free.)

You might have missed my point. The status quo is approximately 40,000 deaths per year in the US. Anything that delays automated driving continues that statistic. No amount of yelling at people to not speed and not drive drunk will have any effect. Forcing autonomous vehicles to drive much...

Assuming you want to limit the rollout of AVs that are safer than human driving. Don‘t you think there may be backlash of people fed up with AVs poking along at 5 or 10 mph under the prevailing conditions? Traffic laws and such are set by humans who assume vehicles are driven by other, perhaps...

Same in Oregon.
