it's pretty great in traffic on 35, 360, or parmer. handles those situations marvelously. not impressed with its ability to handle intersections when turning right on red and stop signs. why does it need to stop so far back and then slowly inch forward? i just hit the accelerator. there are also intersections with right turn only lanes where FSD will try to change me into that lane even though i'm going straight through.
musk is obviously trying to generate FSD revenue. the uptake rate was 19% before the trial month. slashing to $100/mo or $12k one time with transferable rights will get more people to bite. i think they can get to 30% relatively easily. add in the chinese approval last night of FSD and i wouldn't bet against them. sure it's not completely autonomous but it's a whole lot better than anything else out there right now.
i've retested situations- some of them it learns (slowing down before dips or speed bumps) and some it doesn't (trying to go straight in a right turn lane).
the notification system is jarringly inept. the screen starts flashing and an audible beeping (not unlike a cockpit emergency beeping) notifies you to take over. i don't know if it'd be sufficient for someone not paying attention to the situation but FSD stops working if 1.) you fail to apply pressure to the steering wheel every 30 seconds or so and 2.) you look away from the road for more than ~8 seconds at a time. the third time it shuts down due to one of these conditions FSD is deactivated.
