Today, we take a look at the Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta, trying to handle a full 30 minute journey in real life.
Earlier this week, Tesla began releasing its first fully self-driving beta software software update to a limited group of owners to test the feature.
Tesla owner James Locke received the Tesla FSD initial update access update and released a video demonstrating the capabilities on a normal trip:
“We did the usual simulation for my wife to go back from JCL to Pasadena, CA Santa Clarity Superchargers. City streets are used on international routes and back to city streets and in supercharger parking spaces. “
Here is the full Tesla FSD beta demonstration video:
Take the electric
Here are some ideas on demonstration.
Naturally, most of the video is highway driving, but again, the goal is to mimic the average commute, which is typically about 70% highway and 30% city driving.
If you only want to view FSD footage, you can skip between videos, but rewriting op topilot text is thought to affect other op topilot features as well.
For example, I really like the acceleration on-ramp, which is not as easy as the current version of Autopilot Navigate.
When the Tesla FSD Beta exited the highway, it had a long wait to move to the right lane, but that’s something that’s already present in the current Navigate On On topilot.
At 27-minutes, you can see the intersecting transition from highway navigation to FSD beta on roads.
The transition is impressively smooth. As you can see the Tesla FSD goes smoothly on the beta-f-mmp, moves to the right, turns right on the right.
The lane change on the FSD beta sounds pretty good, but there seems to be a significant delay between deciding to start a lane change and actually doing it.
At 28-minutes, Tesla moved farther left to take a turn and moved two lanes without activating the turn signal.
It was a lane turn lane, but I usually still activated the turn signal when it was on.
It’s probably a simple fix. The impressive thing is how long the bend went without the road signs after that. It looked as easy as it got.
At 31:30, James plays around the driving visualization and we can see the full extent of what Tesla is able to see in the FSD beta.
After turning light green, the car soon needed to turn right to give the car a turn and James began to change lanes to get it right.
I agree that the FSD should have moved to the right as soon as possible, but it is possible that eventually it would have gone closer to the turn itself.
We can see that the Tesla FSD Beta is also moving a little more aggressively towards the speed bump.
The end of the video doesn’t show the best of FSD, but the overall impact on the trip is impressive.
