Tesla FSD Update: Three Averted Crashes - And Why Company Should Follow Its Master Plan bradtem via forbes
In a left turn near Vallco, 2 times out of 10 the earlier version moved into the left turn lane for no reason and then turned left, once right through the red left arrow. Both my trips through here it briefly tried to enter the left turn lane again, but changed its mind and went straight. This may or may not be an improvement or just the disturbing randomness of the system.
As it is doing so the light turns yellow, so it stops — badly, with the car past the crosswalk and into the intersection. I manually back the car up. The guy behind me backs up to give me room. At the store, it enters a left turn lane, and decides to go when the lanes are clear, but then stops, in the middle of the road because a right turner is going to use the same mall entrance. Fortunately there is no traffic so I let it resolve. Once in the parking lot it gets erratic — as I might expect — so I disengage and park.After shopping, it's darker and time to go home. The trip on El Camino is driven well, and we get back to the intersection of the previous prevented collision.
3 averted crashes in just a few miles of driving, plus several other mistakes. While the update has improvements, as we should hope it should, it's still in extremely poor condition.There were several who disagreed with my prior review, where I gave FSD an"F." In truth, it's not even a close call, and it continues to get that grade. Any of these actions would result in immediate interruption of a driving test even for a teen-ager on a learner's permit.
