Mine has also been super impressive. I’ve had this iteration about three weeks, also in Chicagoland. I don’t know why the CNBC talking heads pontificate about how it “only works on the expressway but not driving through town”. It’s phenomenal and I don’t even drive anymore, other than backing out of the driveway. FSD all the time.

I personally think baring night or rain this version will save lives.

I drove uber eats all day today using v12.3.6. Engaged FSD from each pick up to delivery location. Spokane Valley WA. Had to disengage in apartment complexes and parking lots. But no other issues. It drove like a native. Very cautious pull outs. Slowed at speed bumps. Careful around pedestrians. Very Very comfortable. Robo taxi service could start in spokane tmrw with designated PU / DO points.

This post is from last week. Did a paste from clipboard. Good job on video. V12.4 coming yeah

I bought FSD in 2018 for $5k. I've been involved in technology and AI for many decades, so my expectation was that FSD wouldn't work for many years, and quite possible would never work. But, I wasn't going to pass up such a great opportunity to watch it learn. It's been a great experience these past 6 years.

Mine fails to read speed signs outside of Chicago. The highway is just a disaster where it slows down to the speed designed for trucks. Regular streets it reads junction signs as speed limits

12.3.6 is awesome.

Lower Wacker success. I often turn right onto N Water st (where your car went straight). I've never seen it properly turn right, but it was in the correct lane and probably would have turned just fine judging from your video. I'm back in Chicago in August, and it'll be great to check out my car.

Hey, John, here's yet another idea for a video. I'd do it if I had better video equipment: Many drivers complain about nags. I, and many others, have a system in which they have a hand on one knee, lightly gripping the steering wheel and letting it slide through the hand when it turns. That's enough resistance to allow the car to register that you're there. You could also show that having two hands on the wheel sometimes doesn't allow enough resistance. You could do a video with the camera aimed at the hand to show how this works. If you do it, better hurry before the new versions that use only cameras to check. ;)

FSD makes good progress!

Awesome! I can't wait to try out v12 when v12.4.X hits my car. I've been stuck on 2024.8.9 (FSD 11.4.9) for a while now. My commute has some moments of constant disengagements which I'm hopeful to try out with v12 to see if they get resolved. I've enjoyed your recent FSD videos which gives me more confidence to use FSD everywhere and getting more comfortable with it 🙂

Hi. At 28:40 I think your car had spotted the blue car to your left was indicating right in an attempt to get into your lane. I feel that FSD was being incredibly polite and leaving as much space as possible for the blue car.

wow your car is really shinny

I for sure think that 9:00 that the method has been solved. To get to 99.999999% is going to take additional training, but in theory the endgame is in sight. Exciting times!

10:11 the funny thing is that yes, there are some minor issues with lane selection and other choices now. Surely it will get better, but it begs the question whether or not in the future when a HUGE percentage of cars are autonomous - will it even matter anymore? The cars will just do their thing and be safe even in weird scenarios that might confuse other human drivers. Maybe there won't even be a need for signals or traffic rules. India driving will be the status quo for the whole world with robot cars. lol

You should do both Post and live

Great camera view, sort of imax wide and tall. Slightly blocked when you then add visualization but you moved it around. You can really see any close action at the corners of the car. You might be able to cut out the central square of the visualization in the split map view and equivalent size central map square and have those as two free elements, that way you may not need to move things around in editing. A static layout. Word is Tesla is rehiring a core of the supercharger team. There was just a disagreement about the chain of command but it was resolved. It did well underground in Chicago although you might have picked the easiest but it seemed very good.

Suggestion for the illegally parked car trap: manually turn on right turn signal to see if FSD will pick up on the hint to go around the parked vehicles prior to disengagement. Either way, a training opportunity for FSD.

For background on my Lower Wacker comment: This road runs under "Upper Wacker" (perhaps not surprisingly). But the two don't exactly overlap, so FSD seems to get confused about which level it's on. In the past, this has made FSD basically unusable on Lower Wacker. Happy to see such improvement here.

카메라 앵글 100점....wow .....

That was a loading zone. Yellow curb. That seems the issue. FSD should recognize the yellow curb.

It might exit the tight parallell parking spot if you reversed it yourself. I guess that's what's missing. Tesla doesn't like reversing, as you did first when exiting manually. It drives very nicely, at least the first 7 minutes I've watched so far.
