The system no longer requires you to keep your hands on the wheel if you have HW4 in the newer Tesla models.
The camera checks if your eyes are on the road, though it lets you look at the screen briefly.
I have only noticed sometimes, during heavy rain or construction, it will give me a message on the screen that vision based monitoring may be disabled and to keep my hands close to the wheel.

 

I've been using it about 45 percent of the time overall, although I used it 100 percent on the trip I just took to SoCal. It was a lifesaver, I just laid back in the seat and let the car do all the driving. There was an update on Saturday while I was in SoCal, and occasionally it would put a message on the screen in certain situations to be alert because it was in Mad Max mode

 

totally fine for you to participate here. i don't think your tone needs to be so condescending and combative, and no the "lols" don't hide it.

not about fsd specifically, but i certainly felt it would play out this way and will go MUCH further. politicians love doing things in the name of safety because it's popular. then you have the ralph nader types who basically want to ban anything that isn't the equivalent of being asleep. i think there will be a real lock down on max speed limits soon. i am 100% in favor of declaring cars that can go 150+ should not be able to go 150+ on public roads for example.

as is often, this is maybe half true but mostly based on out of date info. new teslas are very 'forgiving' when it comes to fsd. you'd have to majorly screwing around for it to disablle.

 

What I find interesting is that long time members of CL who use FSD daily are full of bullshit while stuff they see and read online is the gospel as long as it meets their narrative. But that's human nature I guess, to wallow in ones own narrow worldview

 

I think the most pressing issue facing FSD is not the highway or street driving, but maneuvering at destinations. You can input an address that's in a strip mall or something, and it will know how to get there, but it often takes a longer entrance or exit because it doesn't know the roads inside the large parking lot. In addition, when it finds its own parking, it usually chooses a spot far away or not in an ideal location to the destination. I don't blame the system, but these will be hard things to solve.

 

That's a GPS/mapping problem. When we hit SoCal around 2am Saturday morning, the 71 freeway to Corona was closed off due to repairs going on and the mapping kept taking us to freeway entrances that were blocked off. It finally figured it out as FSD couldn't enter a few freeway entrances and re-routed

 

I'm so glad you finally figured out how much BS you're full of. 😁

So true ^^

 

Dude, my wife's gonna need to stay away from the bathroom tonight 😱

 

my most recent experiences with 14.3.3 and parking lots have been very positive - had to go to AAA the other day to renew the tags for one of our Lexuses, visited the grandkids and have had a few trips to a couple of local stores where the entire trips from our driveway to parking up at the destination were all 100% handled by FSD. No issues parking either end, it backed into a good spot at AAA and it found good spots close to the entrance at the stores and parked more than competently, front first. One of our local stores has multiple entrances, and from our home the most efficient route there and the most efficient route back are different route there than you do to head back home. FSD/nav continues to choose the right place to enter the lot and the right place to exit the lot (they are different). Only minor thing I have experienced so far on 14.3.3 was a light brake stab once or twice as it decides how to handle traffic. That was a new artifact and has been reported elsewhere. The only reason I don't have a 100% FSD streak this week is we are having work done at home and I'm choosing to park on a different part of our drive than FSD usually chooses, so I disengage right as we get to our house and park manually. Otherwise this week has been FSD all the way.
