Humans have a "visual range" of 16,000 light years. My Tesla sees the sun which is 93 million miles away. Doesn't help with UPLs. With turns like that, if there's significant traffic, I turn right and do a U-turn.

On a 25 mph small road near me, V12 consistently slows at two locations. At these locations there's writing on the road. "SCHOOL" at one and "STOP AHEAD" at the other. V11 never slowed. Anyone else notice that?

I see almost no advantage for the company that operates that versus, say, one that operates a normal taxi. That is, in both, the driver is working the same amount of time. In one he's in the car, in the other he's in the office. The only upside I can think of is he can easily switch to a...

Interesting. I find any long drive tiring and much less so on FSD. Might be age related. Serious question: What about driving on a four lane for twelve hours? We did some twelve hour drives on a road trip, and I wouldn't have done that without FSD.

When I search, many posts say there's no understanding branches, but a lot of posters speak of them as if they are clearcut. I want to understand them so I can find out when I'm likely to get a new feature (e.g.Audible). How many branches are there? Has anyone diagrammed these branches? BTW...

Note that you can't clear that nag by just torquing the wheel. You must torque the wheel AND look up at the road. Yes, this invaluable in a strange town. I learned that here, when the nav said, "Enter the roundabout and take the second exit."

Not saying this is happening to you, but when my wife started using autopilot she would unintentionally disengage via torque all the time. I finally realized that she was trying to influence the car's path. That is, if she felt the car was too far left, she would turn the wheel a little bit to...

I've seen all those things. Concerning Item 5, you really can learn a hand-on-the-wheel approach that rarely disengages unintentionally. I used to use button or stalk presses to satisfy the nag, but decided having a hand on the wheel is safer, giving you a faster response to rare time-critical...

Please report again after ten drives or so. I've seen a world of difference from one drive to the next without recalibrating. I hope you're right.

LOL. Yes, I soon added a better way of supporting it. As for the orange cord: Guilty! That cord is really stiff, and that's why it's not well hung. I think I have to beat it.

Absolutely. I've seen that multiple times.

One reason I asked that is related to a particular lane drift problem. At one location, the car frequently, but not always, went into a right-turn-only lane inappropriately. Then, it stopped making that error. Ten times in a row, it behaved perfectly. Problem solved? Did it learn from my...

Not reproducible. In the post, i reported the car riding the center line on a straightaway. Yesterday, same road, same spot, it stayed in the lane perfectly. However, there are curves where the car almost always drives over the line.

Is there any chance that some things get fixed somehow even within the same version? I've had similar experiences. But the software can't learn from our disengagements except through new releases, right?
