My first drive with Tesla FSD 12.4.3 was zero intervention, though it wasn't able to find a spot to pull over at the end. It looks like completely hands free self-driving is ready for wide release!
I’m honestly shocked at the reality of what is happening here… We are watching the evolution in real time of the future of driving in this country… it’s truly amazing to watch
100%. I look forward to the future book covering the entirety of Autopilot & FSD development from its earliest days to the rollout of the robotaxi. Every twist & turn, every roadblock and slight step forwards will make a great story.
Yes, it is incredible! and to think that the media and public at large aren't thrilled with anticipation for what is about to unfold is mind boggling . Watching the birth of FSD on RU-vid has really highlighted the lack of vision that the vast majority of people have. They either desperately want it to fail in their quest to cling to what's familiar, or they only see the mistakes. The reality is that Tesla FSD can now handle over 90% of driving scenarios with no human intervention required. It will be far superior to human drivers in the near future and will be as boring and commonplace as driving internal combustion engine cars are today. It'll be no big deal and we will quickly forget that we used to have to manually drive ourselves everywhere.
Your sarcasm and tongue in cheek comment about sending short sellers a version that will only go to yellow lights and slam the breaks was so funny I was surprised the lady with you did not break into a giggle! 😅And then you couldn’t stop yourself from that Dan o’Dowd reference! 🤷♂
You’ll be a Tesla consumer eventually. Your utility will buy their Megapacks. You’ll hail a robotaxi ride. You’ll be served by one of their robots. Not a question of IF just a question of when.
@@JaiUneGuruDeja yeah with elons companies its like they are late but atleast they deliver it eventually other companies promise something and then never deliver or its dissapointing, with tesla/ spacex it never is
Wow... just Wow. For someone from the UK, this is just mind-boggling. Thanks for all your vids, they're a social history of where we're going (literally) in the mobility world.
One of the things I’ve noticed that’s incredibly cool. Is when I’m in the fast lane with FSD and another car is coming up fast behind me my Tesla model Y will move into the middle lane to let the car go by and then, if there are no more cars coming up quickly, it will move back to the fast lane again.
@@lucalla the far left lane of any multi-lane road is the passing lane. Don’t go over there and hang out. Keep it clear unless you need to pass slow traffic. People don’t know this because they stopped teaching driving in schools. A shame.
I look forward to the future book covering the entirety of Autopilot & FSD development from its earliest days to the rollout of the robotaxi. Every twist & turn, every roadblock and slight step forwards will make a great story.
The level 3 cars have a very limited specification….usually speed limited on simple known freeways. They cannot do anything like this. No one else except Waymo - which is just limited to a few cities. Its amazing.
No, Tesla right now with no FSD is a level 2 automated car, with FSD (when it works) it's a level 3. And if we can push it even further a level 4. But I'd say that's 1 or 2 years in the futur for a level 4 car.
@@aizenbobwhen it works? You obviously don’t own an FSD hardware 4 vehicle. Even on 12.3 it drives me to and from work in traffic 50 miles away each way with no interventions nearly everyday. That’s more than 99% operability rate.
@@twothbeave I've head an level 3 car you can take your eyes off the road but must remain awake however a 4 level car you can watch a movie or sleep with no fear. Until then I'm still waiting for this tech to mature a bit more.
A huge improvement from what I've experienced with 12.3.6. I can't wait to get it! This demonstration gives me great confidence that CyberCab will become a reality soon.
16:18 pedestrian crossing between the cars. People on the crossing. FSD didn't stop. A very real small child risk. A very badly located crossing. Far too many cars parked too close. 18:00 Other cars on right facing a give way sign coming out of carpark. Failing to move adds to confusion for those with no right of way. High risk of low speed collision. 9:51 Could have slowed a little more passing the bus. Risk of some one stepping out in front. Amazing drive. Anyone who says FSD isn't close isn't paying attention.
These drives with commentary are SO illuminating, THANK YOU! One suggestion. I think most of us are back on 12.3.6, so if your commentaries compared the latest version you have with the most common version we have, that would be even better.
Absolutely awesome video! Thanks for posting - it’s really coming along. I was on the 11 version you were talking about so it’s really cool to see the difference.
Amazing to watch this capability exponentially improving in real time, excellent commentary Omar. The car feels like an expert, considerate and very safe driver, and has a likeable personality! The parking indecisiveness at the end feels like a little thing that Tesla will tick off their list soon, probably along with “Banish” etc.
Hesitency and double stops at the stop signs seem something to be polished. Beginning and the end of the drive as well. But judging from all videos of 12.4.3 the drive itself is mostly amazing. It will need some refinements as 12.3 did. But resulting 12.4.6 will be a killer. And no wheel nag is huge of course.
I own a new model y and I used FSD for the first full month I had the car and literally used it for 90% of my driving. It worked amazing. My only issue is the $99 cost per month. Would love it cheaper, like $25 a month.
worked great but you dont want to pay. maybe they should include it in the total price of the vehicle then it would feel free. come on man, 90 percent. lol
@@natpainter8185 it'll continue to get cheaper. Just like cruise control is baked into the price nowadays so will full self driving. In fact, Tesla could drive more sales if they advertise it as a standard feature before everyone else does.
Its amazing that we see a vision only system in action... No RADAR or LADAR needed making the car 50k or 80k cheaper compared to what competition can do. When this gets used by everyone it will save so many lives. And make people owning tesla much more rich.
First thanks for your support to Tesla FSD and years of being a Early Access participant. I look to you and Chuck Cook for methodical testing of each version. I got out of the program a number of years ago when vehicle became stuck without updates (awaiting FSD improvement sync to feature versions). However, I did receive an early version of 12.4.3 on my Model S, Plaid (AP4). Although 12.4.3 is smoother, I found many regressions --- wrong routes, speed limits incorrect, jerky speeds for no apparenct reason, failure to manuver around vehicle that 12.3.6 could, getting in the wrong lane (actually, got our of the right lane 2/10 of a mile before having to make the right turn), failling to make turn into my neighborhood that was fixed in 12.3.6. When manuvering between cones in a construction area, it decided to try to go up a steep curb which I had to prevent. Completely missing turns due to wrong lane. I enjoyed using 12.3.6 but find so many problems here in Atlanta with 12.4.3 that I wish I could go backwards. For me 12.4.3 is not unsafe, but I've never completed an extended drive w/o an intervention. Hopefully, Tesla's team will work on another "point" release before going wide... That's why we test... thanks for your channel and all the other Early Access drivers out there.
Looks a lot faster. I'd be pretty happy. I am finally a little used to creep with 12.3.6 since it's a lot smoother on acceleration. Prior to that I couldn't tell if it was wanting to jump out in front of 50 mph traffic coming out of my neighborhood. I'm a fan of staying to the right or in the lane I need rather than shifting. But that's my style and not FSD
Looks fabulous. It still absolutely astounds me that so many drivers in the US roll through a stop sign. Stop means stop. Period. In most countries around the world rolling through a 🛑 Stop sign will earn you an expensive ticket. Here in Australia it’s hundreds of dollars and serious points on your licence if a cop sees you, and therefore more than likely writes you a ticket.
My city replaced many stop signs with yield, to avoid people having to stop and restart on a snowy, icy hill, at least when no one is coming. When i lived in Oslo a couple of months, the law was that one should yield and preferably not stop where minor residential streets met slightly larger residential streets. They thought that worked better for traffic flow. Given that American drivers seem to prefer yield to stop, I wonder if they'd find they like roundabouts.
WOW...turning into the parking lot's entrance and the car moving ahead of the other car since the other car was blocked by a pedestrian (23:21) = nice!
It’s fascinating how the screen has different aerial views of the cars position. At an intersection it’s as if there’s a drone following it 3-5 stories above the car and then the view comes in a little tighter as the car begins to travel again. These videos always make my wallet itch to buy more stock.
Highly polished driving behaviors. It seems ready. Pedestrian traffic is difficult more like game theory, but this version of FSD handled it with approval.
motorcycle and the Sysco truck was a good call out! thats the advanced AI at work versus a bunch of code with logic statements. This is what = human like behaviour and makes you more comfortable when the car is driving.
But does it move to the left of the lane when you are in lane 1 on a California freeway and a motorcycle comes up in your lane passing you legally? In California this is perfectly legal and it is annoying that in the past it doesn't give that extra 18 inches of clearance when it happens.
Excellent progress. In a year, it looks it would have pretty u h nailed it down to very good level. Neural Nets are incredible tbh. Like Direct Numerical simulations.
Nice! I remember Elon's saying each incremental 0.1 increase in V12 is akin to the version steps from V1 to V11. So, V12.4+ is a big step towards autonmy. 😎 He also said that V13 will be the final version. He must love the number 13.
Awesome video! I think at 17:50 mark, the hesitation was the two bystanders that looked like they were going to try to cross so it was being cautious. Not sure, but thats my guess.
Very impressive!!! Now have it take you the visitor center at the Golden Gate Bridge, and then tell it to take you down Lombard Street from Hyde Street, and then tell it to take you out to Treasure Island. Then have it take you to Golden Boy Pizza(the best pizza in San Francisco). If you can do that, then I'll really be impressed.
Great video and a good demo of the latest version FSD. It would have been nice though to see how it handled more left turns at say a busy crossroads that has no traffic lights. I'm sure it'll do it fine but would have be great to see.
Sadly for me in my rural routes, other than lane centering (which is better), 12.4.3 is a regression in every way compared to 12.3.6! It pulls partly straight out into intersections, pauses, and then tries to make a hard 90 degree turn instead of following a natural arc. It switches lanes back and forth for no reason. Gets "locked" at lower speeds and you have to "remind" it to go back up to the speed limit by pressing the accelerator. And is just overall more unsure. 2024 Model 3 Performance with hardware 4. Still, progress can be a little bumpy at times. Kudos to the FSD team for having their eyes on the prize and working so hard!
I kept thinking the sticker in the lower right of the windshield was a warning sign on the street ahead! I would also rather see the nav screen larger and with the car's direction pointing up, which would also bring the actual speed, target speed, and speed limit into view. With FSD, I really don't have to have the full screen showing all the stuff around the car.
Just imagine not having to hire an ICE car when visiting Europe from Oz, would take almost all the stress away and minimise risk of accidents.Love it ❤😊
With Auto Speed, you don't have the option to throttle the speed to account for conditions. In version 12.3.6 its left turn lane changes are sometimes squirrelly and it does not slow down when first responders have flashing lights in a lane on the road. In addition, it attempted to change lanes into the lane where the first responders had flashing lights, which caused me to take over. I use FSD all the time, but it is called supervised for a reason. The hard braking on yellow lights is still an issue on 12.3.6.
