yes you can, you nudge the right steering wheel scroll wheel left or right.

 

I just wanted to give my quick opinion after driving from IL to KY today with FSD.

It's no where ready for prime time. Twice it didn't know the far left lane was going away. The first time I just let it go as it started driving on the shoulder. No one was that close to me and I just wanted to see what it would do. The next time, I was in the middle lane approaching a slower vehicle. There were signs of the left lane ending soon and just before it did, FSD decided to put the signal on a started to move over. I had to disengage it quickly.

I was using Standard mode this time, as I remember using Hurry mode last year and didn't like the way it always wanted to be in the left passing lane, even when no one was in the right lane. Standard seems to have solved that. The thing that's the same is how it always wants you to go 20+ mph over the speed limit. I have to reduce max speed whenever the speed limit changes. I always try to keep my speed below 10 over, so if the speed limit is 70, the max is default to 85. I use the right wheel button to drop it down to 79. However, if the speed limit then drops to say 65, the max is again set to 85. Every time the speed limit changes, I have to endlessly manually reduce it.

Also, I thought I read that the newer FSD didn't require your hands to be on the wheel periodically. I was getting warnings every 10 minutes until I started randomly tugging on the wheel. That's not really a big deal, as it is still "supervised" FSD, but I just wanted to state that.

Another issue that's bothered me for awhile, not related to FSD, but it doesn't always get the speed limit right. There's one stretch of road I frequent where it shows 45, but it's clearly 55. That has been an issue on that area of road for the 2 1/2 years we've had the Y. Today, I saw incorrect speed limits about 5x. Once was for over a half hour where I passed several signs, but no change. I thought it read the signs like our old CX-5 did. Am I the only one with that issue?

All that said, I'm still really pleased that I spent the $100 for the month. I don't have the usual pain in my shoulders after driving 8 hours. It sucks getting old.

Edit: I should add that I'm currently on FSD version: v13.2.9

 

Interesting. My Mercedes reads the signs too, I'm surprised the Tesla doesn't

 

FSD does read posted speed signs, and displays it on the screen, but sometimes will adjust speeds based on conditions it perceives, like traffic flow, its unfamiliar with the road it's on, slows down for a curve, or gets confused. For the roads he drove, FSD probably doesn't have as much data as it should because in the 6 months I used it, it only ran into minor issues. It does slow itself down sometimes for no reason I could see, but that was never an issue for me

 

Does it give more space if it sees a big truck in front of you?

I keep my distance with trucks with tied down loads in the bed.

 

Yes, FSD doesn't like to be next to trucks or large vehicles. There is a minimum car length hard coded, but you can change the settings to set it distance further

 

 

But they are saying it's displaying the wrong speed limit. It would be okay if it showed the right speed limit based on passing each sign but FSD driving below speed limit. I remember the Mercedes distinctly changing the display right the moment of passing the signs. Maybe Tesla relies on map data...

 

Got any Mercedes self driving vids for us to view?

 

Yes, that's how our CX-5 worked. It would sometimes pick up a school zone speed limit, but that was not the norm.

I read on a Tesla forum that there are some undocumented FSD speed adjustments. Like, going with the flow in major cities. I actually noticed that yesterday while driving through Nashville and Atlanta. If I just ignored what the display showed as the speed limit, it was fine. I also read that there are some issues in Georgia with 40MPH being displayed in 70 zones. Since the Max Speed shows 85, it really doesn't cause any major issues with slowing down. I have been very impressed with how navigates through heavy traffic. It is a little nerve-racking at first, though.

 

Yep, my Mercedes changes the readout the second I pass the sign. If you use say, Google Maps that data is from the map and sometimes it is wrong but what the car has is always right because it came from a sign.

My S580 hasn't done this but my S560 every once and a while will pick up a speed rating for an exit ramp or something when you pass it and think that applies to the road I'm on. Wasn't an issue except before I turned the automatic speed matching off. Before that when cruising at 80 once in a great while it would think the 45 MPH ramp speed applied and it would slam the brakes on.

 

Yes it does rely on map data, but I never saw it displaying the wrong speed based on the speed limit on sign, and if it it changed the speed. But than again, I never really paid attention

 

Not since I sold my Mercedes. Perhaps Steve can quickly demonstrate this.

But Steve, the Mercedes reading an adjacent "slower" speed limit on the freeway was also my issue. I drive on this freeway with speed limit 65, but then there is an exit or secondary 2 lane ramp that is separated by a barrier with 45mph speed limit, but the car would always read the speed limit on the on/off ramp and slam on the brakes.

 

this is about TESLA self driving, not other brands which frankly are NO WHERE CLOSE to what tesla has, even if they can read speed signs.

 

No one is saying that other automakers have better self driving tech. But in talking about Tesla self driving, Im not sure I agree it the fact that we can't even mention other brands out of comparison if the topic is relevant. It's just interesting if Tesla relies on map data, which is arguably less accurate that realtime signs. Seems like an easy update
