You've been testing AP and FSD a lot this year. I would enjoy a short compilation of the big take away and visible improvements through the year, mixed in a way that we see the incremental improvements. I think it would help people to understand the rate at which this thing improved in a single year. (this might be a lot of editing work though)

We must be watching different vids. It handles a lot of easy stuff well, but it is screwing up a ton of the more important stuff that is more dangerous like left turns. Stopping in the middle of intersections? Randomly slowing down or swerving between lanes as it decides to randomly abandon a lane change? That is completely unacceptable and wouldn’t be boring at all for you or any drivers on the road with you.

Your videos are some of the best out there. Thank you for documenting this journey.

History in the making , a lot of us out here appreciate your efforts as i know Tesla its self would . Your style , delivery and event explanations are second to none . Looking forward to your driving experience improving and the FSD system also getting better with time and use . I think getting behind and subscribing to these BETA FSD channels is not only helpful to the testers , but it is in fact a great help in the future of safe and sustainable autonomous transport . So Merry Christmas , stay safe and thank you for all your FSD contributions over the past couple of months , CHEERS .

While I wait for my FSD to kick in, I appreciate your videos. Thanks for making them. Your videos will help me to be more sophisticated with my FSD once it arrives in my M3.

These videos are very well done! Merry Christmas!

its amazing that it works like that.. one year and its perfect!

I just subscribed to your channel because you've been testing FSD to the degree of your back getting pains and aches! Tesla should appreciate beta testers like you for your dedication, perhaps should consider giving you all some perks. This is their job but you guys are doing it for free though with enthusiasm. If FSD succeeds then you all have helped to make history.

Again, thank you SO MUCH for putting in so much effort by adding timestamps!!! Also Nice subscribe integration btw 😉

Love your videos and commentary. Can't wait until beta FSD is released to broader list of owners. Thanks so much for doing these, which makes me very excited for the future.

Thank you for these updates. Really appreciate the highlighting of both good and bad actions. Gives a very good idea of the current status of FSD without too much bias.

So encouraging. Thanks for your ongoing efforts DT. Merry Christmas to you, pregnant wifey and giant baby. 🍻

Very nice job. Your FSD videos have gotten really good!

I really appreciate your editing.

The new update for us non-beta people has some updated visuals, but not the full view that you have or anticipated we'd get. The wheels now rotate and turn, and that's a cool little feature.

I'll check back in 5 years to see the FSD improvements. Good Luck.

11:05 I didn’t know that either! I usually tap the speed limit sign but I have to reach across and take my eyes off the road a bit so this is a handy alternative.

Great to see the improvements. You are giving it plenty of leeway before intervening, I'd have a tough time not taking over or accelerating in many of the occasions when you are extra patient.

Woohoo a new video for Christmas!!

Merry Christmas 🎄 and many 🎁 for U and your significant others!

Merry Christmas Chris. Your content and editing skills are getting better and better.

FSD is slowly getting there. Thanks for your hard work in letting the FSD team know the mistakes!

The delayed adjustment of lower speedlimits has been a pet peeve of mine for a while - I usually manually adjust the limit before reaching the sign. And thanks a lot for the "hold stalk down to set speed to limit" tip!

Merry Christmas - I really enjoy your commentary and thoughts. You're the best of the testers.

Thanks for putting so much time into these videos! Great demonstration and commentary. :) I'm really hoping I can get these updates when they're released in Canada, I'd love to test it out in the snow and make videos like this.

At least it's improving! 🎄MERRY🎄CHRISTMAS🎄 ...to you, all your family and friends!

Good tip on holding down the stalk! Thank you for the beta videos. I've been a subscriber for a very long time... At 17:23 you say that you have to enter your home address. TIP: If you swipe down from the navigation entry box, it will take you home. If you do it at home, it will take you to work.

Great dirty work

This release is definitely giving greater weight to solid lines compared to previous, seems like that's where the step back is for this one.

Really appreciate the work you and the other beta testers put in 🙏 As much as I'd love to be on the team (if it ever hits Europe) I wouldn't know where to find the time. I'd have to either drive at night or quit my day job 😆

Speed limit signs. Ask a trooper: "Question: When the speed limit is changing on a road, does the new speed limit start at the sign, or does it start when you can see the sign? Answer: The speed limit zone area becomes effective >>at the point you reach the sign.

@bburton333

This has been a problem for years with all AP 2 versions. A speed change always happen slightly after the sign. They need to implement some kind of look-ahead logic to slow down before reaching a lower speed limit sign so the car is going the correct speed by the time it reaches the sign. To implement this so the car slows down smoothly in time is non-trivial.

thank you for your vids

Thank you!

Great video! Merry Christmas! 🙂

Great job, thanks for your help.

Happy Holidays!!

Great production Chris! Looks like those turns were really almost effortless (angling). The acceleration, lack thereof, and speed selection seems to be the biggest problem with the turns from watching. I've also seen in a few other Beta 8 vids that it is missing some red lights (possibly when two are consecutive/in the same view). Thanks for speeding up between commentary and the insightful reasoning behind why you think the car is doing what it's doing and why you intervened.

This is getting really good!!!

another fun video. If you're looking for no right on red signs, there are some in the bloomfield hills/bloomfield township area. Assuming they haven't been removed (i haven't been home since September 2019). Turning right onto eastbound Big Beaver from northbound Woodward is a classic. Cars go through that one all the time (after a Michigan left coming south on woodward). There's one turning right onto westbound Long Lake Road from southbound Telegraph. There used to be a similar one on southbound woodward, but i don't remember if they removed it or not. Anyway, there are a bunch in that area. Many drivers get caught out at them. I personally hate right turn on red, so i love the intersections where it's not allowed!

A comparison video between beta 1 and beta 8 would be nice. Where you can see the progress on the same left turns for example

At 17:57, if no cars where seen coming from left or right, as a driver I would not stop, exiting a parking lot, but just continue. So in my opinion the car did the right thing. Anyway keep up the great videos, I think you are the one with most FSD miles (and videos).

I finally subscribed! It didn't hurt a bit.

Merry Christmas

What I think happens at those times that you say I only nudged the accelerator pedal is the car is probably gets it as a confirmation it did not ask for and stops hesitating.

Watching this from spain and every single video you upload not having any Tesla in near future but expecting to own one at some point of my life :(

Its fun to watch the self driving 🚗, its for sure not ready if this is as close as tesla can get it , you clearly are on the ball, but for the average driver not expecting it to do some of these moves, well its getting better put it that way.

Please suggest to Tesla to have an audible tone for creeping and a tone for “going now” when intersections. That should reduce confusion and help gain confidence of the driver.

Merry Christmas! Love watching these tests. I don't have a Tesla yet, and am waiting for the CT to arrive. Cheers!

17:30 parking lot navigation probably needs better mapping. Visual cues in parking lots can be far away and/or obstructed.

Glad to see FSD beta improving with the update. You have a lot of blinking traffic lights where you live. Here in Melbourne, Australia (and the rest of the country as far as I have experienced it), traffic lights only blink when they are faulty, which is rare. I think there are some other aspects of our roads that might make FSD beta easier to deploy here (although the smaller volume of Teslas and thus local data will be a down side). We don't have the "waiting for your turn" thing; one road always has right of way except for roundabouts. We have only occasional "turn on red" here (none in Melbourne, as far as I am aware). And we always have a line on the road at a stop or give way (= yield) sign and it is right at the intersection, so no need to creep.

I find that the rolling stop will tend to occur when FSD observes there is no traffic and it has full unobstructed view of the intersection confident enough to perform a rolling stop.

Tesla FSD has come a long way. No one can deny the pace of innovation ... well they shouldn't

Lol at 0:12 Chris talks to the car like a child

3:43 I think the car on the left turning out into the road made it hesitant, but then it was already on the lane so it continued before the care turned to the left

15:45 You say tiny bit delayed. However, in most places the technical rule is that you can't enter an all way stop until any traffic passing in front of you has completely cleared the intersection (not just cleared your path). It looks like the moment the back of the turning car crosses the crosswalk, the steering wheel moves and it sets off. I'd say this was EXACTLY on time with the precision only a computer can accomplish.

Imagine being that dense and honking at a Tesla, most people know to turn left from the turning lane, I would have given the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was in FSD and clearly made a mistake. Actually tbh even if it wasn't a Tesla, the driver clearly clued in to what was going on and went into the turning lane, no harm no foul. So what? The driver behind had to slow down a bit, I mean I get it though, it does take a lot to hit the accelerator and speed back up 🤦🏼‍♂️. Great videos mate, keep it up!

Hey man idk if you want to do this, but I would recommend turning on your hazard lights while testing fsd beta. It just let's people be aware something's going on, and they probably won't honk at you so you can let it do its thing :)

Can you please write to Santa Elon and ask him to release this to everyone? Or at least to me? Haha. Great video, and it's awesome to hear your perspective of how the updates have been evolving over time!

If you set your default AP speed to "current speed" autopilot takes your current speed, but if you keep the AP the handle down when you double press it the second time , it then takes the detected speed limit as AP.

Here in Canada, I have noticed that our lame version of FSD (autopilot) has issues at the beginning of passing lanes on 2 lane highways depending on the angle of the entry. If you enter the passing lane area and the passing lane sort of split your lane, the car partially goes into the passing lane then abruptly turns back into the right labe which you entered on. I have been trying to manually intevene so the team might see it, but it is actually unsafe on snowy roads. Interestes if your beta car handles these right or more smoothly.

You've got some really challenging locations there. No wonder the other drivers sometimes act confused too.

Hey Chris, just had an observation here. Usually the dark screen mode makes visualizations easier to see, so maybe change from Auto to Dark mode when recording videos. I think this would really improve the clarity of the image. Thanks!

yeah I think Tesla is going to need the Dojo supercomputer fully operational and training the neural net for a while.

Try It in Dearborn!!! I would love to see how it interact with crazy drivers😂😂

Seems really good...Our biggest problem with driving places is every area ends up with unique roads, signs & traffic lights. Some places have horizontal red lights others use posts. Some yellow lights are placed area as a caution to slow down suggesting light is red or about to change although you can't see that far over the hill or around a curve. Then you get random yellow lights around school zones. Be good if we could just have 1 road system, but everywhere we go, one way streets, multi lanes/ramps/exits, unique arrows/lanes/lights time rules for everything from turn on red to parking, etc. Even construction zones some have portable red light stations, stopsigns with a person directing. Sometimes the people just wave a flag or hand motions. There isn't consistency, gravel roads, dirt roads, brick roads. Must be difficult to get a computer to recognize everything alongside placement & colors. Then they must apply all these calibrations to weather & location, being international whole set of different rules apply.

Thanks, man. Looks promising. But I'm from Europe and boy you do have much space on the road. I think the car needs to get way better with recognizing narrow distances. In inner cities and residential areas over here you often have barely room for 2 cars and frankly need to stop and wait out the ongoing traffic at a spot with just slightly more space (narrower parked car, driveway). But that's also dependent of whether the oncoming car is a tiny one or a wide one, just not much margin to navigate on. Since watching your FSD clips I realize how many situations are super difficult and frankly are solved by hand gestures here (could flash the lights though). Also in-lane parked cars, where you have to creep forward to detect oncoming traffic. No biggie if the road is wide enough to give oncoming traffic room to maneuver. But here you often lean to the edge of the windscreen to peak out. The camera in the middle of the windscreen has no chance there. The car will have blocked the oncoming lane by the time it sees something. I think cameras should have been left and right upper corner of the screen... And I don't think that bouncing radar under the parked car will be reliable enough. K. [Typos]

I love the scientific mindset of counting the other cars bad driving mistakes while watching the tesla for mistakes. Another way would be to get a professional driver's license tester to estimate driving mistakes of average drivers that they know.

Can you incorporate right repeater camera footage when the car does turns? Would be nice to see the clearance to the curb/gutter Doesn't need to be super synchronous, just let it play after the turn is completed :)

@@DirtyTesla yes, I got new cowboys boots

So per other FSD Beta testers, they have shown that it does recognize no turn on red signs in their testing. I've seen a few videos where the car will not turn on red if that sign is present. They have shown and talked about it, it just does not currently have a visualization for the sign, but it does respond appropriately to it.

I think that slowing down in the middle of turning at unprotected left turn isn't necessarily a wrong move from autopilot. Here in Thailand we literally have to drive into the road and yield to the ongoing traffic in the lane I merge into. I get that it isn't the way people drive in the US but eventually this FSD feature will be released on tesla cars all around the world where in some countries driving recklessly is a rule to actually be able to drive there 😄 Well anyways nice videos I enjoy them very much and I had been your fan before you had this beta FSD enabled on your car.
