Tesla's self-driving is getting really good really fast. At this point, I think it's safe to say it already drives better than most humans in the majority of situations. Like this guy who just cut in from the left turn lane.And the biggest difference between humans and FSD is that FSD keeps improving while humans seem to be getting worse. It's advancing so quickly that I've actually had to scrap the last three videos I've been working on because before I was able to finish with them, a new version already d ...

Robo Taxi Experience & Performance - Robo Taxi demonstrates impressive on-the-fly pickup and drop-off adjustments, considering traffic flow and finding safe spots [5][6][8] - The system exhibits an understanding of human driver intentions, reacting smoothly to unexpected situations [19] - Robo Taxi's performance in heavy rain is notable, showing confidence and smoothness even in challenging conditions [55] - The system can reroute effectively when necessary, finding alternative paths without hesitation [51][52] Technology & System Analysis - The analysis suggests Robo Taxi might be an improved version of full self-driving version 13, potentially not utilizing the front bumper camera [38] - Hardware 4 is considered sufficient for unsupervised and driverless operation, with the absence of a front bumper camera not being a critical issue [43][45] - The system exhibits some randomness in decision-making, likely a byproduct of neural networks [67] - Safety monitors are present due to the system being a supervised one and to address potential issues [26][27] Safety & Human Interaction - The most significant danger comes from other human drivers who are inattentive or make mistakes [84] - Robo Taxi handles mistakes well and recovers effectively [64] - The system sometimes struggles to anticipate and avoid bad drivers [85][86]

This is Tesla cam footage of a hardware 4 Model 3 using a pretty recent version of full self-driving on a seemingly very simple straight ahead road with no obstacles whatsoever when suddenly completely out of the blue a sudden veer into the oncoming lane followed by an absolutely massive crash. So what the heck happened here. The poster of the video claims that the steering wheel turned all on its own.He makes it very clear he did not grab it himself, and the car just decided to drive him into the ditch and ...

FSD Release & Technology - Tesla AI team is hinting at a June unsupervised FSD release, with a good track record around releases [2][3] - Tesla has been testing with 300 test operators in Austin to collect necessary safety data [4] - Robo taxi features are present but not yet available in the latest Tesla iOS app, including pickup, drop off, opening and closing doors, emergency stops [5][6] - The refreshed Model Y might be the initial vehicle for unsupervised FSD due to its additional front bumper camera [7][8] - FSD may attempt to drive anywhere within its geoence, unlike competitors that avoid certain roads [25] Market Perception & Challenges - Even with a successful launch, a narrative shift might not happen overnight due to psychic numbing and media coverage [13][14] - Perfection is impossible as long as driverless cars share roads with humans; a significant reduction in incidents is the realistic goal [17] - Tesla may not receive the same media leeway as other self-driving companies like Waymo [20] - Legacy news media is likely to paint a terrible picture of full self-driving, even if data shows it is saving lives [29] Future Outlook - AI drivers are improving while human drivers are becoming worse, making it a matter of time until AI's superiority is clear [30] - AI is expected to change the world in unimaginable ways [31]

Video Analysis & Methodology Concerns - The video features a Tesla but doesn't consistently use its autopilot or full self-driving (FSD) features, raising questions about the validity of the tests [1] - There are instances where autopilot appears to be disengaged, such as driving over double yellow lines or during the finale shot [1] - The video's methodology is questioned, particularly the decision to test autopilot instead of FSD, as they are different technologies with varying capabilities [1] - The presenter admits the video is about LiDAR and its uses, which contrasts with the framing of a scientific comparison between technologies [2] Luminar Relationship & Potential Bias - The presenter claims no financial relationship with Luminar, but acknowledges a friendship with Luminar's CEO, who donated $4 million to the presenter's project [1][2] - Luminar promoted the video on their homepage, raising questions about potential bias [2] - The video highlights positive results for the Luminar car, while downplaying potential issues with LiDAR technology, such as detecting water spray as a solid barrier [2] Autopilot Disengagement & Steering Wheel Force - The presenter suggests ultrasonic sensors caused autopilot to disengage before impact, but an alternate theory suggests force on the steering wheel led to disengagement [2] - Evidence is presented suggesting the presenter was gripping the steering wheel tightly, potentially causing the disengagement [2][3] Multiple Takes & Conflicting Explanations - The presenter admits to multiple takes of the grand finale scene, with inconsistencies in explanations regarding the car's ability to detect the wall [3] - The presenter initially suggests ultrasonic sensors detected the wall, but later states the car couldn't detect the wall due to its algorithms [3] External Influences & Irrational Behavior - The analysis suggests that negative sentiment towards a certain individual (Elon Musk) may have influenced the video's approach and conclusions [4] - Examples are given of other individuals who seem to exhibit bias against Tesla's technology due to their views on its CEO [4]

these latest versions of FSD coming out recently don't seem like anything major at least on paper the release notes are exactly the same as before and there's no mention of any new improvements or features but there is something about these newest versions that feels very different to me so I'm going to do my best to explain why that is and also kind of where I think we're at in the grand scheme of full self-driving so first off the car seems to be parking when it gets to destinations more than ever and I'm ...

man do we have a lot to talk about on the latest earnings call Tesla not only announced that they'll be launching unsupervised full self-driving in Austin Texas June of this year which by the way is ahead of schedule that they laid out at the Wii robot event but have also already started rolling out a version of it in their California Factory that drives the cars from the production lines to the outbound Logistics Lots completely autonomously and this marks a very historical moment for FSD as this is the fi ...
