It's also our (Europeans) specific discipline we show during driving, especially on motorways where we just relax and don't care much rather than the road ahead and our cabin distractions. If you were to use FSD like this you would definitely keep your eyes until that very last moment you see something weird on the road. That's what I think of it personally tbh

Thanks for doing this video. Autopilot in my 2019 Model 3 in Australia has been degrading over the years. The disabling of the radar is the most defining point in the degradation, the car used to be smooth and comfortable when following traffic using TACC or autopilot,now it brakes hard and late and is just nerve wracking to be a passenger. So I drive manually much more than I previously would have. Very dissapointing.

Dus de reden waarom autopilot buiten Amerika niet deftig werkt heeft niets met Tesla te maken maar alles met de burocratie en de wel zéér trage Europese wetgeving@@DavidDeblaere

Het naderen van rotondes, kruispunten, het zoeken naar het midden van een brede weg ipv rechts aan te houden, niet tijdig vertragen als een snelheidsbeperking eraan komt... Allemaal zaken waar mijn BMW het stukken beter doet dan mijn Tesla. De wegen in Amerika zijn rechter, breder, kruispunten ruimer, rotondes zijn onbestaande... Dat maakt het gemakkelijker. Uiteraard is wetgeving wel een vertragende factor voor zaken als lane change, afritten nemen... Dat is bijzonder jammer.

Ja da kan wel zijn dat BMW nu beter is dan Tesla maar ik geloof toch meer in het tesla systeem op lange termijn dat sowieso toch ooit naar Europa komt, en dan is het kwestie van tijd tot wanneer een Tesla in Europa rijdt zoals een Tesla in Amerika, en dat lijkt me toch nog iets anders dan dat waar wij nu tevreden moeten mee zijn. Een jaar geleden kon een Tesla in Amerika ook geen rondpunt nemen en nu doen ze dat keer op keer perfect, het systeem wordt gewoon beter met de tijd omdat alle Tesla's data sturen om het systeem te voeden waardoor het steeds beter wordt. De evolutie is duidelijk als je al een tijdje FSD Beta volgt in Amerika, dat zal ook zo gebeuren in Europa@@DavidDeblaere

Great vid again, Thanks! Been using AP over four years now in Finland. Had a Model 3 LR 2019 but bought a Model Y LR last month cause had to take advantake of the fsd transfer. And yeah the speed thing really push my buttons in the wrong way. It reads the signs perfectly fine but still for some god knows what reason it wont obey them. On some road sections AP lets you set the speed to anything and couble hundred meters later to max +10kph and then suddenly go back to last know higest value even if the speed limit has changed E.g. 100->60. And these also happen in perfectly streight roads outside of any citys with no intersections etc. I have found no logic in this. It just hapens always on the same spots or the spots sometimes change a little after an OTA update but they are there. Atleast on motorways its always max 140kph and no variations. But even worse is that on some roads it overwrites the pefectly fine read speed sign with some 'earth was just molten lava' old map data?!? For examble it reads a 80kph sign correctly and then after a kilometer or so it chanses the limit to 60 for no apparent reason and combine this with the situation that it wont let you set the speed limit over +10kph so now you are driving 70kph on 80kph road if you dont manualy override the speed with pedal. Drives me nuts thinking how many years this problem has been present and that somewhere in US there is a person who could fix this behaviour with couble of clicks with their mouse.... press two buttons "disable map speed data" "set speed to read value or 0-10kph over defined by driver"

Here in Denmark autopilot always wants to do a lange change the first time you activate it on a highway. If you are in the first lane, it wants to go to the second lane. If you are in the second lane, it wants to go to the first. Has been that way for years and I believe there is no way Tesla does not know about it. They simply do not care enough to fix the bug. The same for speed signs. Would it be hard to adjust the speed 50-100 meters _before_ the sign? No. They just don't want to spend any time fixing the old code.

You will always get basic AutoPilot, which is lane keeping and adaptive cruise control. I would personally add Enhanced AutoPilot afterwards, when auto-park actually works. But if you want to use the auto lane change feature, it could also be worth it now. If you drive a lot on highways, I would do that, as each lane change would otherwise require you to deactivate and reactivate AP again.

At the exits you should confirm the blinker sooner. Ideally immediately when the message pops up and the car will do them much smoother. At least here in NL

Hi Steven, I drive the Model Y in the Netherlands with FSD since march. I have noticed a couple of small steps forward since then. Taking exits on the highway is now a little better, it slows you to put the blinker on before the exist start which will result in taking it from the start. I really think it should be even more early according to normal behaviour in traffic. Overtaking and then going back to the right lane drives me nuts. I have had so many times some one behind moves quicker to the right and FSD aborts the lane change abruptly. I think that is even more dangerous. Most of the time I switch FSD off (by using that steering wheel and highway icon) when there is more traffic because of this. The update on the camera views are a really improvement to me. It really seems the view is clearer and more detail is visible which helps understanding the situation more quickly.

Thanks for the video Steven. I'm using Autopilot. I see you can do auto lane changes and ramp-on/off on highways. These features I don't have so I assume what you're showing is EAP and not AP. Do you believe EAP is worth the upgrade when driving most of the time on highways?

I actually have bought FSD already with this one. That is not worth the money at the moment (at least outside of North-America). But EAP is well worth the money on my car. On newer cars, it is debatable. I have yet to test a pure HW4 car, but I hear AP is not good at all on those cars and lane changes are horrible because of the vision-only stuff. Also, auto-park is not yet available either on those cars. So you'd just get the auto lane change. I drove a Model Y for a year and started out with basic AP because I knew that was a temoroary car until the Plaid arrived. It took me 2 weeks before I was so frustrated with the pling-ploings for each lane change, that I bought EAP with it 🙂. That alone is worth it for me. YMMV

Warnings are normal. You need to ignore multiple warnings in a row to get a forced disable triggered. The system still has a few false positives from the camera, but it is already a lot better than at first. Just keep you hand on the steering wheel on one side so it van detect the weight of your hand.

That seems to work better than in Finland. If I try AP here on country roads without the center line it will always go to the middle of the road either immediately or after a while. It also does crazy moves when lanes merge or there is wider section in the lane. However my car worked much better in Norway at similar roads staying at the right side. I have just the basic AP in Model 3. I wonder if there is some geolocation or map information that makes it work so differently?

@@sammoe892 I know. I've been fighting for this and trying to push the regulators ever since they limited AP in 2019.

This secrecy within the regulations is mind boggling.It shows they don't care for the end result, just for their own job protection

Tesla seems to have forgotten about Europe. In the US they replaced all RCCC-cameras for free in the older cars and here my car does not even get 2023.32.x for my old RCCC cameras.

They haven't replaced any cameras here, because that is not necessary for the limited functionality we are getting.

Very disappointing. I would have expected Tesla to better polish the normal AP and Nav on AP, but unfortunately they didn't. There are little things like heavy acceleration in stop-and-go traffic on the highway and not building an emergency lane that spoil the experience for me and the speed limit things they are so anoying. If the small problems were fixed it would be much better

Heavy acceleration? I always find it way too slow and unresponsive in those situations. Takes like 30 seconds to get to 60kph when a car in front is driving off.

The bus at 1m25s into the video is driving on the white line. Isn't that a no-no in your part of the world? Seriously though... The AP is doing much better than before here in the U.S. I just wish we could teach people in Miami how to drive.

Autopilot gets the legal speed wrong too often (in Belgium). Many other bugs as well. Tesla seems to put all its attention (engineers) on FSD in the US. Why complain about the regulations when Tesla doesn't care about fixing things first?

FSD needs to be adapted to Europe, and even to each European country, it is a *huge* work. Not to mention roads can be far more complex to navigate in Europe compare to the USA. So Tesla is focusing on FSD for the US, Europe will come later. So I am not sure Europe is to blame, I only trust autopilot on motorway with low traffic, so I understand no country in Europe will allow more from Tesla for now.

@@010falcon A new legislation will not change much. Tesla product names are more about marketing, and autopilot or FSD do not mean the same neural models in the US and in the EU. Even in Europe it is not consistent from one counties to another (naming and functionalities). I guess Tesla wants to focus on the US and expand to EU when at least the architecture will be finalised, then it will be time to train the models and adapt to each european country specificities. Or maybe Tesla will switch to China if the US becomes not so autonomous car friendly, then it could be China the the US then Europe.

What is sad is that lobbyists for the European carmakers are successful at stalling the acceptance of Teslas FSD system in EU (in order to allow them to attempt to catch up to Tesla). This is European protectionism at the cost of consumers freedom and access to technology. There is no good reason for not allowing FSD in Europe because it is still a driver assist system where the driver is responsible and must monitor what the car is doing (including holding hands on wheel at all times).

FSD US is not "junk" but a work in progress, and FSD EU does not exist at all so all comments regarding FSD in Europe are just BS (or profound ignorance). Autopilot in perfect for long distance travels on highways when traffic is low, even if weather is not perfect ; Autopilot definitely reduces fatigue and so I am sure it saves lives. But Autopilot is not designed for cities or countryside roads, even if it is possible to engage it, probably because Tesla thinks it can be helpful in traffic jams.
