Hardly a misstep from Phoenix to Palm Springs and just as you start to have confident, #TeslaFSD takes a turn, that it’s made a thousand times, too wide. There was no reason for it and the next time, it did it perfectly. It works until it doesn’t and you’ll never know when.

Just another distracted driver cruising along at 80+ mph along I-10 west of Phoenix and #TeslaFSD moves out of the way to let them by.

As #TeslaFSD starts to move on the green light, it definitely hears something. It’s not until you can see it in the left repeater that it stops and waits for the emergency vehicle to safely pass.

Here is a vehicle, not exactly in the roadway, but close enough and still moving. If you watch the front wheels, it’s unclear what this guy is going to do. #TeslaFSD is cautious, moving out of the way to give them room, but not overlay so that it stops. And it does appear to have called it right.

While it has worked in the past, I rarely try this because it’s too inconsistent. Is the software getting better? Was this just lucky? Was there something about this garage that was different? This is one of the times #TeslaFSD successfully navigated out of a parking garage and into the street.

It’s hard to tell in the video, but #TeslaFSD does slow to a crawl for this dip in the road, very similar to how it handles speed bumps now. Anybody know if it’s able to: 1) read the road sign, or 2) see the road elevation change or 3) just got lucky with the different road surfaces?

It’s nice to see some of the recently added features to #TeslaFSD continue to work with extraordinary consistency. One of them includes approaching emergency vehicles with their sirens on. And it regularly starts to react before I can tell which directions the sirens are coming from.

I thought this was a nice touch. The oncoming truck is so close to the double yellow line, #TeslaFSD delayed merging into the left turn lane until after it passed the truck. Not a big deal but it does show some built-in intelligence.

A lot of my frustration with #TeslaFSD is that it doesn’t drive the way I would. This pedestrian crossing the intersection is clearly on the other side of the double yellow line, so there was plenty of time to make the turn. Once we have true FSD, I won’t care. Until then, overly cautious is good.

Admittedly, #TeslaFSD is getting more impressive. And I find myself trusting it more, which is not necessarily a good thing. I didn’t see the pedestrian standing there waiting so when the car slowed down, I wasn’t sure what it was doing. Now I try not to panic and wait to see what the car will do.

I thought #TeslaFSD did a nice job avoiding this bus. Typically, it does a relatively tight turn at an intersection but because this bus was pulling out of the bus lane at the same time I rounded the corner, it made a split second decision to widen the turn to go around the bus.

After abruptly switching lanes, I assume because of those emergency vehicles on the left, #TeslaFSD hesitated at the next intersection. Given my FSD PTSD, I didn’t know what was happening, so I accelerated through the intersection only to see, and then hear, the emergency vehicle.

Driving in a downtown area is a challenge. There are multiple pedestrians milling about, and sometimes it’s unclear what they will do next. Also, tons of vehicles all over the place, some parked in travel lanes. In these cases, #TeslaFSD does a meaningful job navigating through all of this.

This road construction was really disruptive as navigation says to make a left here (not sure why it went this way in the first place). Also, I love how #TeslaFSD creeps forward as soon as that guy blocking the intersection starts to move and then, as if he’s not moving fast enough, goes around him.

Sometimes it’s the little things. Here is a relatively small and tight traffic circle which #TeslaFSD handles very well. It’s hard to even see it’s a circle as I approach but I am sure it’s part of the navigational inputs which helps it to understand what to do.

It’s not enough to just give them room, as #TeslaFSD merges over two lanes to go around them. I’m not sure why there is such a precaution … maybe just because there was nobody in the other lanes. But it’s a lot, as it has to then merge back over those two lanes to make the right turn up ahead.
