So ever since the Christmas time free trial, my partner (who leases a highland M3) has loved FSD so much we now subscribe. I will admit, FSD is 90% there. When in that car, we have become used to just programming the nav, and having the car drive us.

But last night, it was pulling out of a spot, and correctly stopped for a Camry that was driving past us. We were half way out of the spot at this point. The Camry drove past and we started backing up more. However, a curve ball was that the Camry decided to drive past a spot (that was basically behind us but a spot or two to the right) and then back into it. In addition, there were walker and shopping carts. FSD steering wheel just jiggles left and right repeatedly trying to think of what to do. I let it play out, but in the middle of trying to exit and go to the left, it decided to go right. very shaky, very slow, I could see walkers being kind of annoyed at the process, but we eventually got out.

I bring this up because 90% of the time, FSD is so so good. But then there are instances that are so unique and unpredictable that makes it clear we aren't completely there yet.

Also, anyone notice when it backs out of parking spaces, like a Costco, it doesn't use up the entire space behind it, only to need to do 3 point turns?

I’m almost sure yesterday I saw a new model y traveling down a 4 lane highway and the driver was asleep. His head was slightly tilted back and face leaned towards the window. He was wearing sunglasses and there was also a front passenger who appeared awake.

Is that possible? If he was really asleep?

Maybe he had stickers on the glasses showing open eyes. 😃

So far, my experience is that the camera cannot see through your sunglasses, so it is pretty lenient. But then you get a message that vision based attention monitoring is unavailable and it reverts back to you having to touch the steering wheel occasionally.

Yeah, you cannot sleep, it won't let you. I put my head down for an extended time looking for something that dropped, and after a few warnings the car began to pull itself to the side of the road thinking I might have passed out or had a medical event

This was the case for me with v13.x when I was wearing my polarized sunglasses. Every 10 minutes it had me confirm I was paying attention. Then when v14.x came out that stopped and it never asked me to touch the wheel.

Maybe im too used to FSD, but that just seems like normal driving to me. It is good, but doesn't surprise me anymore

But what does the post mean when it says "Tesla and Mercedes slide into left turn lane". They are already in that lane and it becomes a turn lane, so of course the Tesla and Mercedes have to cut to the right.

Low angle sun glare is not an issue for FSD.
