I think this is the best video I have seen on fsd, showing the stress you are under, even when it is working as expected. When I was teaching my daughter to drive, this is exactly what it felt like. You are nervous, ready to intervene but desperately trying not to.
Great comparison. I actually tell my wife that my Tesla drives better than my daughter. She only has her permit. And for good reason! I seriously feel safer in my Tesla on FSD than I do when she drives.
Haha. Yea but that's how I was with my first experience with active cruise control, until I got used to it then it became relaxing - I miss it when I don't have it now. Could be the same here. After a bit of practice and getting to know its limitations it might be fine.
I feel like this video is a great representation of how good Marques is as a tech reviewer and UA-camr. Sitting in a car that drives itself, one take, no cuts and still having a great and fluent monologue about the car, the traffic... Great watch!
What really makes him great tech reviewer for me is his honest openion based on what he experiences .. I totally trust his evaluation to any current tech. So do all his subscribers and viewers . I mean u cant pay him to cheat . Hes not that kind of a guy . I think if he wasnt then tesla would've payed thausants to make him view self driving as total future and a totally trustable tech
As an engineer I’m both impressed by the tech and horrified by all the possible scenarios that someone not paying attention or trusting the vehicle too much could encounter that would/could be deadly!
@@EspressoIsDrugsthat’s true! If all cars are self driving it will leave 0 room for human error. The cars will always know where it is and what is around it. I hope they can implement this in the future for now I can only dream :(
@@Zeuswashington In a few videos he seemed to be biased towards apple and kind of personally annoyed by google which made his videos feel biased and not just about the tech and it's features but way to much about what he feels like and not what's actually the case
Sadly he didn't fully inform himself before making this video. He said that he had the car in "assertive" mode but that is for FSD beta, and in the highway he had navigate on autopilot (the inferior version) enabled and the settings for that are in another place.
Great video! As an airplane pilot, when people say “don’t you just use the autopilot?” The narrative you gave is exactly how we feel and no one understands it unless they’ve used some sort of autopilot. It can be more stressful using autopilot for us in certain situations as we are essentially just making sure it does what it’s supposed to…so our vigilance is even higher!
@@adriangale I mean it sort of does, if we mean things like sticking to the flight plan during the cruise stage. If you're in an Airbus under normal law (normal, full automation) it's more the plane babysitting you than the other way around - like during the terrain escape maneuver you can do the "pedal to the metal" airplane equivalent and it will prevent the otherwise very likely stall, so pilots just do it and are saved by the automation each time, and it's a regular procedure. For example part of Air France 447 disaster was that for a while there was no full automation (due to period of missing flight parameters), and pilots were "allowed" to stall the aircraft which they ultimately did. In comparison it's certainly more other way around in an aircraft than it is in Tesla right now, not that it's perfect or completely hands-off of course.
Dude this video was kinda relaxing. It felt like me and Marques were just really good friends with me in the back seat, just having a conversation on the way to the studio. I LOVED THIS
I just want to point out that you did a great job talking during this whole thing. I’m not sure if you had a script pre planned so you had talking points or just did a really good job because you’re a natural. Either way keeping an audience engaged with your explanation was top notch.
Would love to see you do the full self driving in other weather conditions. As you mentioned it only uses cameras so it would be cool to see it in like rain, or snow.
@@isaiahlouisb2 Even mild fog in Seattle plus bad angles due to hills cause it to confuse single and double lines separating road directions. I've had issues in Magnolia/Queen Anne where many of the road lines have been rubbed off badly so they aren't fully continuous.
Marques really knows how to keep engagement. I watch this whole video from start to finish without leaving my seat. I can’t imagine he had a script for this either because it’s a demo and he’s reacting in real time. Dude is awesome.
@@Geoffrey___The key is to be engaging. The fact that you weren’t intelligent enough to see the nuance in such a basic statement proves to me that you would not be engaging at all.
@@___DRIP___ sounds like you need some confidence and a father figure. You could do worse than MBKHD. Keep gargling his nuts and maybe he'll notice you one day 🤞
As somebody that has used FSD for maybe a year now in the beta, I can confidently say that your "sum up" of "It's kind of sloppy, but it works...." is probably the best way to describe FSD in it's current iteration.
Do you want to be a driver? Or a manager ....Cruise control and slow traffic stop/start is enough ... FSD is bullsh!t ... and will be for another 10 years of development. I'll take another look then.
Your commentary is hilarious. Love how you share your nervousness and fair assessment of FSD. I’d definitely be a regular viewer of your drives to track progress.
With current hardware, not much more progress will happen. This will remain in perpetual beta until Elon finds a new CEO and cashes out as much as possible.
That was the most stressful drive I've ever been on . . . And I wasn't even there. I think I held my breath a few times. Thanks for sharing with us Marques!
I feel stressed every time I have to drive on highways with lots of merging and lane changing. So much so that I try to stay on simpler paths so I don't have to worry about it. Would be nice if AI learned easier routes for it so you can choose to go a bit longer route in exchange for less worrying about it.
For this to work, you will need all cars on the roads to be self driven to talk to each other and use a lot of radar information and bigger information ahead.
The stressed out vibe that Marques gave during this drive makes me feel like I wouldn't trust it to drive me somewhere, the amount of doubting it does in the drive and the sketchy disengage in that tollbooth with the cone where it headed straight into the barrier and panicked.. idk if I would trust it to let it drive itself somewhere.
@@dom_z3480 I can see the progress of Autopilot and Full FSD and I think it's great that it can do so much more over the past few years.. But I wouldn't lie down or stop paying attention with it. It makes you stay on high alert
@@christianocampos158 That's why it is "FSD-Beta" right now. It *is* not finished yet, and you *must* be ready to take over at any time. So I think it should not be compared with the expectation, that it drives itself somewhere. I feel like too many people (in general) just don't know what "Beta" means, or they ignore it, because it is currently named "FSD-Beta" but everyone is just writing/saying FSD, but that's not what it is yet!
Man, my heart rate was high, just watching the video. You could probably make a 10 part TV series of you just driving to work and you’ll probably get loads of viewers
Not to be negative but literally every video I've seen on UA-cam of self driving challenges the crap out of it and puts the driver in harms way or impeding traffic. It's not a system you can get right most of the time.
@Tyler I live in a rural area in Sweden, trust me when I say that the Tesla would have no clue what to do. There are different unexpected things happening in rural areas compared to city-like conditions. Roads will all of a sudden have no markings, signs will be missing, roads will be missing from the map, some areas might even have gravel roads. I'm quite convinced that full self driving cars will not be a thing until we combine smart cars with smart roads (i.e markers in asphalt, communication between vehicles, government uploading all construction to some centralized road network server etc.). There are just too many unknowns for an ML taught car to deal with.
@@85Portar In America we have every country road mapped unless it is brand new and it gets added quickly. So rural areas it works almost flawlessly, especially one lane on each side roads. Roads are always painted, some signs missing, but not important ones.
@@85Portar The beauty of Tesla vision is its not completely rely on navigation data, and road markings. If the sign is missing, you can also not see that. Somewhere between 2020-2021 they seriously changed how cars act on the environment rather than navigation data. In early stage of fsd beta, it couldn't be able to handle construction sites or closed roads but now it can avoid them and if it can not pass through, it can recalculate the path.
I was a Navy carrier pilot back in the day. I flew the A-7 Corsair. There was a link between the carrier and the aircraft that allowed it to automatically land on the carrier without the pilot doing anything but, literally, NOBODY ever used it. It was too stressful. One glitch and you're dead in an instant. All the A-7s have now been replaced by the much more sophisticated F-18 Hornet. Automatic landings are common today with the "Magic Carpet" system. The stress he feels with the Tesla fully under automated control is the type of stress the pilots felt when they were not at the controls while landing on the aircraft carrier.
That was one of the best review videos I’ve ever seen. Your personal interaction and observations in the car were priceless. Very informative. Great job.
The issue here is more then the car driving autopilot. Its the risks. If we have an car that can drive safely on a road for 10 miles, but does something unusual during 50 meters, a sudden break, a bad steering, anything out of the ordinary for say 1-2 seconds can lead to a car crash, injury, a unexpected family car incident. That what AI is, its steering yes, but if one little goes ascrew, you might lose a limb.
basically, if he trusted the AI, he hit those traffic cones , and drive through a toll with a cone, after those incidents we have no idea how the AI would have reacted. prob two crashes during one single 20min drive to work.
Totally priceless! I'd have been a nervous wreck... it's hard enough to know when to "nudge" a human driver with words. but to just have options to take control or trust. that's rough. Regarding this exactly: I expect it would have come to a sudden stop before hitting the single toll booth cone. and then he'd have to remove the cone, or back up. manually. Both embarrassing and dumb. And Re the line of traffic cones it was approaching without scooting over... I think it would have run some down... and then stopped. also not good. I was on the edge of my seat watching this the entire time. I know know I should never be a tester for this sort of thing... or even a student driver instructor. :D
There's just something about Marques that I just enjoy listening to/watching. His voice or intonation or stance or all of the above. I have FSD Beta and love it but I can't sit to listen/watch other videos. This one is engaging at each minute at each turn. Thank you Marques!
I've been running the FSD beta on my Model S for a few months now. It went from trying to kill me 2-3 times on every drive, to only trying to kill me about once every trip. A lot of big improvements in the last few months, but given that I still have a lot to live for I'm not ready to turn it on and go to sleep just yet.
Now Elon has turned his attention to trying to get people killed on Twitter. Pro tip: NEVER take a job with him. Because if you ever piss him off, he'll sic his goons on you and your family.
As someone who just bought a new Model Y and didn't buy FSD, I'm honestly pretty impressed with the lane changes shown here- especially with what its able to do on the highway. I don't know if its $15,000 safer but it does appear relatively safe to me with an attentive driver at the wheel.
This was awesome. Crazy what variety of situations you came across in a 20 minute drive. It was great to witness a full, typical commute from start to finish, and your commentary hit the nail on the head. 🙏
I have the same feeling about the highway. I live in Florida and our highways are actually pretty good for this, no real elevation changes, well marked lanes, no pothole damage from freezing winters like up north and long sweeping curves. But we once off the Highway it feels like a suicide mission
Honestly, the thing I've learnt in this video is how grateful I am for my transit commute and not having to deal with any of these situation the morning.
Marques is really talented in getting someone's attention even when they don't want to give it. I had no intention of watching a 23 minute FSD video, but I did. Very nice video, explanation and commentary. I can't see myself giving over driving to a computer. At least not in the near future.
I did not know I would enjoy 20mins plus of a man driving in a car but somehow you made it even exciting! Your narrating skills and choice of words is excellent. I noticed the beep you did when the police car approached, I wonder why? Also, how you switched the video from camera to phone camera while the audio was unchanged *chefs kiss*
The raw emotions here are so accurate. I have the beta as well and this is exactly how I feel on every drive with it. I'm surprised it took this long for a UA-cam channel to come out with a video that could portray these feelings so accurately with FSD.
Honestly, I'd love to see it try and go around my hometown, the roads are usually only 20-30 feet wide with on street parking and regular buses. Taxing to drive normally, I don't know how Autopilot would handle having to duck into gaps of parked cars every so often
Pretty much nailed our experience with FSD beta. Had it for a while now and it is at best a student driver around town. Still love using "enhanced auto pilot" on long trips but it has a way to go for driving on surface streets. Thanks Marques!
Marques, we can all agree that you were our friend throughout this entire video. I'm a person that tends to spend up long UA-cam videos at 2x but this was really relaxing and I didn't need to, and Id love to see you doing more variety of reviews.
@@mkbhd how about a drive in other weather conditions, FSD is actually flawless in CA because Tesla AI team is in CA so most of the testing is done there
It would have handled that situation though. I’ve driven cross country with the car doing almost the entire drive and have seen damn near every situation you would see day to day. Embarrassing moments happen. Sometimes you just have to say ‘f it’
As an Airline Pilot, we basically treat an autopilot the same way. It’s nice to have so you aren’t manually manipulating controls all the time, but you are constantly monitoring it because it does weird things or gives up sometimes.
An airline pilot myself, about to give the same comment as you just did. Autopilot is a helpful tool but planes don't simply goes from A to B in a straight line, you need to navigate (aside from climb and descend) by pilot's input. So does Tesla's Autopilot, it is acceptable on highway but I'd rather turn it off for city traffic and manually drive the car, bet that's gonna be more relaxed compared to autopilot on.
@@nhathoang9862 Similar thing I've heard from Train drivers. ATO tends to be very capable but every now and then it will just give up for whatever reason and as such train drivers will be sitting ready to take over (at least for those running in ATO corridors, those running with more archaic signalling are of course driving fully manually as there is nothing for the ATO to work with)
@@pessiescobar4707 Autonomous airplane, as a concept, has been around for the last decade or so. Airlines have been pitching to manufacturers to reduce the minimum pilot required to operate a passenger transport jet down to a single pilot crew (cost saving, obviously). The question is would manufacturers like Airbus or Boeing, and more importantly, would humans (regulators and passengers) feel safe for that to happen in the future? I simply can't answer that. Personally speaking, I'd rather fly with a colleague than an AI who's pretending to be my colleague.
As a Software Engineer who has worked in computer vision projects I am nothing but impressed... I know everyone is saying it still sucks and isnt full auto drive but honestly it's come so far the number of variables it has to deal with is insane...
I totally agree. Sure, it’s taking way longer that he said it would, but what Elon project hasn’t? It’s still miles ahead of any other actual self driving. Even just on highways for road trips I would be happy with that. I rented a Honda with lane assist and active cruise a while back and just having that was amazing for Highway driving with young kids.
Yeah my question is what happens if the program crashes or freezes... It's not like we have not experienced that on our other devices such as pc or laptop
@@Dragon-Believer Well, it IS a bad idea if it lulls drivers into inattention and I guess it surely will. The car either is competent to drive without human input or it is not. It appears pretty clear that, as of yet anyway, it is not.
I would love to see a test drive like this in some night and normal rain conditions, just rain shower at dark. That's more demanding for me as a driver on the busy streets with all the reflections than the snow itself. Specially with strictly visual based system. I don't think I'd let it drive me on the busy traffic roads, but since I'm used using to adaptive cruise control I would be very happy with this level of assistance on the longer inter-town drives, specially on a long roadtrip.
I came here to say the same, especially since he mentioned that Tesla is camera only. Night time driving is where this will bring best benefits for me as a driver.
@@SebastianSpiess Look at Dirty Tesla, Chuck Cook, and AI Driver's videos, they do a pretty decent job! I've had beta for a few months now and can confirm cameras still can't see in the dark though 😅 - FSD constantly visualizes vehicles and pedestrians that aren't there and just won't move until you intervene. :( 4:53 PM 12/27/2022
I have used basic auto pilot many times while pouring rain during night time. Not only did it see better than me (rendered lane lines further than I could see), but I felt so much safer having it activated so I could focus more on emergency situations rather than focusing on staying in the lane.
Getting pissed off and honking, or whatever, isn't going to change a thing. The truck isn't going to move, so you just ignore and drive around, like it was a big dumb cardboard box on the road or some other inanimate object. Who cares if you lose 30 seconds of your day? Not exactly life changing.
One of the most important things to do when driving is it behave “as expected.” This changes by region (due to cultural norms) and also by road conditions. I think the embarrassment you’re feeling is partly that same sense of what is currently expected of you by others. When the car drives differently than a human, that strangeness isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s legitimately dangerous to put the onus of reacting to the unexpected on other drivers, even when technically correct.
When I got FSD Beta, I used to be so stressed on the drive that by the end of the trip my back would hurt like crazy 😂. Overtime, you get to adapt to it and now I’m definitely more relaxed with it. I use it maybe 25-35% of the time.
I've had it for a few months and can't ever get a half decent left turn at most intersections in my town, those disengagements are my deal breaker for being unable to use it 🥲
@@happyjohn1656 Tesla introducing additional sensors sometime in Q1 according to the leaks. So RIP everyone who just bought a $60k car + $15k "self driving" package

@@MaxCaud I have a 2020 M3 so I have a radar and USS. Also "only" paid $8k for the FSD package, def not worth 15k 🤮 USS removal was such a stupid move.
I’ve had it for about 8 months and it definitely gets to a point where it’s comfortable and predictable. You end up learning how to manage those “embarrassing moments” with the gas petal without disengaging. It makes driving super chill.
I will second this. After a week of driving, I had identified all of the potential disengagement moments or things that it did not do well and I take over then. For me, it has significantly improved my daily commute of an hour, which includes city and highway driving with a lot of traffic.
Yeah I don’t think he mentioned the tapping accelerator to tell it to go. It takes some time to get used to the quirks but you learn to live with them and predict them a bit
confirmation bias is a hell of a thing. My bet is you wouldn't put you child in the car unattended and trust the vehicle to deliver them safely across town.
@@CJ30123 Well obviously not. But thats not what he said, is it? he said it makes driving super chill when you're used to its quirks, and that is very much true.
This review seems unbiased and honest. I also like the kind of tests that "AI DRIVR" performs. He doesn't let the embarrassment factor force him to intervene, but really tries to let the car figure it out as much as humanly possible.
@@erebostd sounds like you're suggesting this is somehow unprecedented or wrong? The choice is yours and the risks are incredibly obvious to the point they need not be spelled out
@@pottyputter05 I don’t care if people do free work, but i care that they do it on public roads and not savely. The software isn’t „there“, obviously, and people get killed or injured. Tesla isn’t paying for accidents caused by AS, and as long as that’s the case, the Test need to happen on private property.
@@erebostd You are right, there are accidents, which are caused by Humans drivers. There are 7 to 10 Times less accidents with activated Autopilot than the rest of the US Cars (Which are mostly driven by Humans). To follow your suggestion, all human drivers should drive on private roads and only Tesla Autopilot should remain on the roads. That's how you would save real lives. Not the other way round.
One of the coolest thing I have ever seen, your narrative from the start till the end where you showed the Tesla's visibility; Without your narrative it would have been scary to watch the adventure. I may sit behind an auto pilot enable Tesla when it passes the offroad test and also not halting behind a truck. Nice narration bro, Cheers for everyone!
Man this was great hearing you narrate your thought process and reactions to the car's behavior. I found myself seeing and hearing your decisions and agreeing with your take. Def would not feel comfortable with letting it "Lyft" me to work etc. Not yet.
Also thank god for him interfering when the Tesla was going to stutter while it thinks. Being unpredictable (like randomly stopping or slowing down in the wrong place) could cause issues downstream of the Tesla even if the Tesla doesnt get in an accident someone else will.
Looks like the AI isn't comfortable with doing Lyft either, it demands a proper driver to have eyes looking out the windshield, and hands within reach of the wheel, at all times!
@@jaad9848 Safe driving is predictable driving. I don't care if it's against the law or not following traffic rules to the tee. Humans understand predictable driving. This thing does not. Hard pass.

@@slickzMdzn You can tell because its not displaying FSD visualization. Its literally just a blue line to the car in front (i.e. autopilot/navigate on autopilot). He also claims his car is on aggressive mode but it just sits in the far right slow lane.
Here on German roads any type of autopilot really struggles with any type of our roads, sometimes even the autobahn, I would be very scared to have this thing drive me through a city like Munchen or Cologne LOL
This video was revealing in so many ways. With all the hype around FSD and autonomous driving in general, this proves how far things still need to go. It's an amazing technology with much potential but it's also nowhere near being ready for widespread use. A very fair and well done review!
@@newlin83 statistically teslas using fsd with a human driver in them are FAR safer than humans driving without it. look it up. and when this is solved it will save millions of lives from crashes
@@kkokay4 solved with cameras alone? the 1st 90% is easy... its the last few % that will take a decade or more easily, despite what your master Musk says.
Its amazing how big distances are in the US. 20min commute but most of it it's doing 45 (in a residential area too) and 60 on a highway, covering a very considerable distance. In europe a trip like this would mean you had to cross half the city or even more, but here it is a run-of-the-mill commute, and possibly on the shorter side.
@@cocoisadog while this is true, I was mostly referring to the size of the cities. In the US, while they are larger, they are not as dense, because of huge urban and suburban sprawl
I live in the province of Ontario in Canada which is so big that it has 2 time zones lol. Takes us over 21 hours to cross over into a different province. But of course, except Toronto, nothing is as densely populated as Europe here.
One of the major limitations I’ve found is that “creeping for visibility” thing. It really needs a couple of cameras mounted way at the front corners of the car pointed left and right to help it see around corners. There’s an intersection near my house where it takes like 15 - 20 seconds to finally get a good look at cross traffic before it’s comfortable making the turn. And, as you said, it’s the embarrassment that makes me disengage. The thing that sucks about this is that there is no software solution to this problem because if it can’t see, it can’t see.
Yes exactly two cameras integrated at the end of the headlight assembly, one pointing right and one pointing left would help the system so much! Elon take notes!
Somehow humans can do all this creeping for visibility while their head is positioned further behind blinker cameras. I think it has to do more with the car knowing where to stop for most visibility while not stopping too far so I'd say it's possible to do with the current camera setup.
I'm not sure that's true. Humans are able to see and make a good judgement even when sitting inside the car, cameras on the front should have even better visibility. I think it's just (understandably) over cautious and takes an approach "move slowly until clear" rather than "move until it's not clear".
@@arturpotyraa8397 given that it's a safety critical system I would guess the engineers deliberately program it to stop further back and creep slower just to ensure the safety of the passengers, better 'slow' than sorry I guess
Yes, ever yvehicle needs at least four full-hd lidar drones on each corner, 10 meters ahead of the car and one on top checking for attacking pigeons from above.
I've had FSD beta for about 6 months. Most of the UA-camrs show city driving. I drive mostly country roads. The car struggles with large country intersections, stopping way too short, waiting too long to go, creeping for way to much distance and even into the cross road before it decides to go. It's trust it driving straight on the roads but I almost always take over at intersections. I agree with you, it can be very embarrassing to just let it drive like a 12 year old at intersections or more complicated areas.
@@Kr0n1k8 Seems like that's sign of what the developers are working hardest on. This is way far away from real self-driving and NHTSA needs to be paying attention!
I really hate the complete stop at intersections when there is no other car around but it isn’t teslas fault. I remember when the car would do rolling stop but the NHTSB put a stop to that
That's where I would be driving. The 'main' road on my way to and from work is a very narrow two lane that's a short cut for semi's getting to industrial parks on either end. I't posted 45 everyone drives 55, corn fields on each side with patches of wooded areas very close to the road. No shoulder at all. If it's raining or snowing it scares me how close on coming traffic is to the center line. Oh, potholes, lot's of them, Do you think it could handle that situation without intervention or non stop butt puckering?
I found my heart rate slightly elevated a few times during this video, but I enjoyed it immensely thank you for always giving the full-on experience. Please do more of these it was a pleasure.
22:30 Best line in this video 🙌😂 and after that it's capability to see / observe soo much! is Just mind boggling 🤯 Thank God you showed the bit in the end 🙏
Just a heads-up that Navigate-on-Autopilot settings are separate from Full-Self-Driving Beta settings. That's why you had to confirm lane changes, and felt that it was being less assertive on the highway.
Yea, this video was mainly showing driving in 'Navigate-on-Autopilot'. As soon as you go on a highway it switches from Full-Self-Driving Beta to Navigate-on-Autopilot. You can identify Navigate-on-Autopilot by the road markings that are not flickering, for those wondering.
@@orcslayer900 True, but still on the old stack the blinker will stay on for like 4 seconds before actually initiating the lane change, annoying. Single stack soon Copium
@@unlimitedbagels nah stuff like this will eventually be flawless, technology like that won’t glitch like a pc game when it’s fully functional .

This video was amazing! Your narration during the whole drive while seamlessly coming back to your "reporting" tone. You perfectly showed how it feels to trust these systems and I think it's a terrific introduction to the FSD on how a driver would feel. Bravo
During 2004-2006, I was a participant in the ULL (University of Louisiana, Lafayette) Master's degree program, where the team contributed to the creation of the "CajunBot" autonomous vehicle. Looking back, it's remarkable how far technology has progressed beyond our initial expectations. The development of vehicles like Tesla's self-driving cars has truly impressed me, back then, we relied on six laser radars and extensive computing power to compute optimal routes. For Two decades the intersections remain one of the most intricate aspects of self-driving vehicle programming. It appears that the ultimate resolution will entail the automation of every individual car on the road. Once this level of automation is achieved, communication, negotiation, and decision-making among vehicles will greatly simplify driving tasks. This could potentially lead to the realization of concepts like "SDV Uber," where self-driving vehicles operate seamlessly and efficiently while "Human" take the back seat and enjoy the ride :) As always, thanks for the video.
I’ve had the FSD beta since October of last year. There’s a learning curve to understanding what the car is capable of. You have to reset all expectations every single update. You need to understand car will fail at certain things 100% of the time because they’re not programmed in. But it’s fun seeing the tech evolve
Well to answer your question real quick. In heavy rain the autopilot shuts off and gives you a warning saying inclement weather does not allow for FSD.
This demonstration was way more impressive than what I thought fsd was at currently, I would not trust it on these jersey toll merges or some of the funky intersections, but the fact that it was able to navigate that unusual shaped roundabout and can *almost* recognize construction lanes made of cones is very promising for the near future
I'm convinced that the only way this works is when every other car on the road is also self-driving otherwise i just don't see how to close the gap between human driving behavior and AI. The nervousness and embarrassment is a direct output of that gap and I think it's not a matter of getting better but the inevitable result of erring on the side of caution which if you think about it, a machine really *has* to do.
Ehhh no. not really the only issue with other drives who are driving them selves is when they do something critically wrong then that could cause a self driving car to get confused. However even those events can be countered as the car will soon be able to make its own decisions based on the type of road and how drivers are driving. This will lead to a safer experience and the car will be able to handle complex fast moving events which a typical person could get overloaded with.
Clearly it’s ability to map the world around you and give a real time representation of everything shows it’s just a matter of perfecting that and getting its decision making time up and perfected
True story: back in 2009, I was in the military and I was assigned to work on a self driving vehicle with a bunch of smart guys in California. Long story short, it worked, but on the final test drive it was going through some obstacles on the side of the hill, much faster than I would have! Your video brought me right back!
This was one of the most interesting videos, I have seen of actual use of the Beta on actual roads and not just on a closed track. This was highly entertaining but you could tell during the video Marques really wanted to speed up or disengage just so he didn't look bad especially in NJ where people have absolutely no patience! Great video, I liked this kind of video!
I have had full self driving beta since it’s initial release. Your experience and description is the fairest I have seen. My experience is very similar to yours, and I like the way you describe it. It is neither perfect, as some suggest, or horrible as others say. As you said, you still need to pay attention, intervene from time to time, and realize that using it can be stressful. The only exception I would note is that I have found it to be very good on long highway drives in the southwest. However, any city drives or mixed city and short highway drives are stressful.
If you’ve also driven a car with conventional adaptive cruise control, be interested to know how much easier you find highway driving with FSD or autopilot.
@@publicmark I have driven a conventional car with adaptive cruise control, but that was a number of years ago, so I don’t know where the technology is now. I will say, however, that I believe Tesla’s full self driving on the highway is a superior experience.
@@patlopez2093 you should try a modern system like the latest Mercedes or BMW system, it can do lane changes like autopilot and keeps the vehicle perfectly centered. and GM's super cruise is totally hands free, and that's objectively superior to "autopilot" on highways.
My friend used his FSD to drive us downtown (10km) in a winter city and yes, it was like having a new driver take you somewhere and driving extremely overly cautious. It also doesn't seem to take into account the temperature or road conditions because we were a block away from my destination and it decided to punch the gas around a minor bend and I'm pretty sure we would have crashed into the cars that were parked lol. That was the only time he intervened but we made it safe otherwise
And for that to happen, cars will need to be cloud devices... and that means wireless carjacking will be a concern. I'm starting to think the "busses and trains git gud" route is the more practical and sane one.
I'll admit, this area really puts the self-driving through its paces. In my area (Scottsdale AZ) everything is built on damn near perfect grid. We have very little/no construction, cars don't park on the side of the road, our highways are 4-5 lanes wide with uniform on and off ramps, etc.
It's an incredible piece of technology that is mindblowing in how effective it is, but I wouldn't want to use it at all for the same reasons you listed in this video.
This is a great video format. Real time. Marques is a great narrator, feels like we're in the car having a real convo with him even with just him being the person who's talking 😂
honestly just having the camera view alone is worth a lot, you can so quickly spot and empty parking spot or anything else you might not notice right away, very useful
You have camera view in every new modern car that has good cruise control. The problem is that Elon still claims that this is FDS, but it is not and will not be, ever (which is completely OK, if you call it right name) Further training of the neural network with this hardware only gives diminishing returns, and this can be seen in every update. Additional hardware is required.
I’ve been curious about these cars for a while, but what really drew me in is the way you guided us with your thoughts of it through the process that made me want to keep watching start to finish! Good job! 👍🏻😎
This technology is becoming NEXT LEVEL man. I'm in love with it and the progress it's making. Happy to have been a part of it for ~2 years so far :) I think another 2 years and I'm having laid in the back while it's driving us LOL
Thank you for that video! 🙌 It completely captures my experience when I'm driving in FSD Beta. I find myself talking to the car the same way. Offering subtle warnings ⚠️ and advice 👨👦👦 in hope she's listening and accepts this new knowledge we're putting forth. 🤭 This is exactly how it feels and I think you've inspired me to maybe live stream my FSD Beta trips. I love using my FSD on the streets to challenge it and see what she can do. My girlfriend thinks I let it go too far sometimes. But I'm always optimistic she'll avoid the potentially bad outcome we see in front of us (but she doesn't). I appreciate your hard work and authenticity. 😃🙏
Currently driving across country with my FSD beta and I got to admit its pretty impressive for what it is and it does help me beat the boredom of driving itself but everytime I hop in this car I always have the same thought floating in the back of my mind. We squandered the train. A side thought though whenever I pass through a state that rains or snows, the cameras are rendered completely useless locking both FSD and Autopilot, so I’m curious what the work around would be in order to fit that strange future Elon musk pitched (like a middle schooler telling his class to vote for him for class president and he’ll throw a pizza party). Guess in Elons mind california and Texas are the only 2 states that exist.
Yes you brought up a pretty good point about FSD is camera only operated and the cameras could get dirty, icy, or something covers the cameras while driving such as mud, salt, etc. It is kind of a fair weathered FSD vehicle at this time. May not be very good in Chicago winter weather, but who knows???
Loved this video. Never seen an uncut version of full self driving on something other than ideal conditions. It doesn't look like something I'd use regularly. But I live in the city. Maybe I'd feel different on country roads.
No its FAR worse out of town... it doesn't really think about things like road camber, struggles with worn markings (plenty of instances where it ends up oncoming lane after a steep bend), and non-normal vehicles send it into dangerous identification loops. This is a great tool for the interstate if you take over manually for the bits of road works, but while in cities ect its just too cautious, its actually dangerous on country roads.
"I'm not embarressed I'm just driving like an old lady" That was hillarious! Great video of an amazing piece of tech, thanks for doing it and sharing it. Hope the heart rate has settled down now. 😄
The most heart stopping moment for me was waiting to turn onto the highway with traffic at high speed going past, my heart was racing most of the video, well done Marques
Great video! FYI, FSD beta currently switches over to the old autopilot stack on highways (indicated by the red lines marking drivable space disappearing on the HUD) - so the FSD Chill/Normal/Aggressive setting won’t apply. The long-awaited v11 is unifying the stack and will either come with Holiday Update for people with FSD or in another update before the end of the year.
the problem with every update is.. on pc software the worst thing you can get is a blue screen.. on cars.. rip.. on the other hand people in 50 years will still be as bad at driving while ai will become exquisite ... unless it becomes self aware ...
@@jaxxrr It has multiple completely redundant systems for the FSD. Even when you hard reboot (press and hold the scroll wheels until the screen turns black), it keeps working in the background.
@@davidc2072 you did not get my point.. I ment with updates there can be new bugs that make the car swerve into a crowd or other stuff like that.. even after long periods of the car being perfectly safe..
Please make updates every few months to see how it's getting better! Best unbiased FSD test ever. Also great to mention "embarrassing" driving of FSD, which is not really acceptable even if the car does it right.
The are a few self driving channels out there. Whole Mars Catalog and AI DRIVR both have a lot of videos. If you want to watch less opinions and more driving then Whole Mars Catalog is better.
Keep in mind. THIS is how you are supposed to use this software right now. It is not complete, and still learning. It is good that the software is overly cautious rather than the other way around, aggressive. Although it leads to some embarrassing moments it also ensures safety. It's in beta for a reason. Great job showing the feature Marques
It's like the Tesla is a student driver and you are the driving instructor! I was terrified for you yet amazed at the technology we have today Edit: I might try it out like you did, but there's no way I would trust it regularly
Like someone said before, this felt like teaching your kid how to drive. I applaud you on your narration and patience. I would've taken over way more times during the drive. It's big step forward not to where I've seen the unmanned taxis in California. But impressive, nonetheless.
I think these driverless taxis have had a very thorough training on that specific city with all its special cases. Tesla tries to solve self-driving independent of the location. Have you seen Tesla Joy's drive through the desert? Self driving along a dirt road with no marking (not even a clear edge)...
When driving in the suburbs I feel orders of magnitude less stress when letting FSD drive than driving in one of the largest cities in America. The density of the city increases the possible bogeys that the FSD computer has to navigate around. Even some humans hate driving in a dense city.
In its current state, it feels like you are babysitting someone learning to drive and it feels much more stressful than just driving myself.
It’s much better than your average new driver though!
@@wrxdrunkie no it is not.
True
I only use it on long routes, and it’s damn good with that too.
Good analogy
I think this is the best video I have seen on fsd, showing the stress you are under, even when it is working as expected. When I was teaching my daughter to drive, this is exactly what it felt like. You are nervous, ready to intervene but desperately trying not to.
Great comparison. I actually tell my wife that my Tesla drives better than my daughter. She only has her permit. And for good reason! I seriously feel safer in my Tesla on FSD than I do when she drives.
Dirty Tesla has a great video with his wife that shows her nervousness with it
He was rarely over 40 miles an hour. Didn’t really have much to be so nervous about.
Hopefully soon this will be lowered as trust increases.
Haha. Yea but that's how I was with my first experience with active cruise control, until I got used to it then it became relaxing - I miss it when I don't have it now.
Could be the same here. After a bit of practice and getting to know its limitations it might be fine.
I feel like this video is a great representation of how good Marques is as a tech reviewer and UA-camr. Sitting in a car that drives itself, one take, no cuts and still having a great and fluent monologue about the car, the traffic... Great watch!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What really makes him great tech reviewer for me is his honest openion based on what he experiences .. I totally trust his evaluation to any current tech. So do all his subscribers and viewers . I mean u cant pay him to cheat . Hes not that kind of a guy . I think if he wasnt then tesla would've payed thausants to make him view self driving as total future and a totally trustable tech

thanks for letting us know you're an engineer
@@EspressoIsDrugsthat’s true! If all cars are self driving it will leave 0 room for human error. The cars will always know where it is and what is around it. I hope they can implement this in the future for now I can only dream :(

That’s the kind of self-driving videos we should see-honest and not speed-up ones. I enjoyed this autopilot review. Thank you, Marques.
Thats the ONLY type of fsd videos ive ever watched. 100% honest no edit videos.. not sure what media youve been exposed to

Years later and you still seem to be one of the most trustworthy reviewers out there (tech and otherwise). Keep up the good work!
He lives in New Jersey, so dissapointed in him
He's been pretty biased a few times which made me unsubscribe but this video is nice anyways
@@mr_petabyte Why did you say that?
@@Zeuswashington In a few videos he seemed to be biased towards apple and kind of personally annoyed by google which made his videos feel biased and not just about the tech and it's features but way to much about what he feels like and not what's actually the case
Sadly he didn't fully inform himself before making this video. He said that he had the car in "assertive" mode but that is for FSD beta, and in the highway he had navigate on autopilot (the inferior version) enabled and the settings for that are in another place.
Great video! As an airplane pilot, when people say “don’t you just use the autopilot?” The narrative you gave is exactly how we feel and no one understands it unless they’ve used some sort of autopilot. It can be more stressful using autopilot for us in certain situations as we are essentially just making sure it does what it’s supposed to…so our vigilance is even higher!
Argh! My whole life has been a lie! I have always just assumed auto pilot worked perfectly 😮
I don’t know why I assumed that. And it sounds like I’m not alone.
"Ummm...what's it doing?"
"Why is it doing that?"
Did you ever watch the movie Flight. It's a good movie.
@@adriangale I mean it sort of does, if we mean things like sticking to the flight plan during the cruise stage. If you're in an Airbus under normal law (normal, full automation) it's more the plane babysitting you than the other way around - like during the terrain escape maneuver you can do the "pedal to the metal" airplane equivalent and it will prevent the otherwise very likely stall, so pilots just do it and are saved by the automation each time, and it's a regular procedure.
For example part of Air France 447 disaster was that for a while there was no full automation (due to period of missing flight parameters), and pilots were "allowed" to stall the aircraft which they ultimately did. In comparison it's certainly more other way around in an aircraft than it is in Tesla right now, not that it's perfect or completely hands-off of course.
Dude this video was kinda relaxing. It felt like me and Marques were just really good friends with me in the back seat, just having a conversation on the way to the studio. I LOVED THIS
I just want to point out that you did a great job talking during this whole thing. I’m not sure if you had a script pre planned so you had talking points or just did a really good job because you’re a natural. Either way keeping an audience engaged with your explanation was top notch.
I think it was live! Super impressive
Lol, really? He's narrating and adding contextual information. Are you that bad at talking?
this is his job..
@@musguelha14 Are you that bad at kindness?
He’s been doing things like this for a very long time, he’s great at what he’s does. There’s no script
Would love to see you do the full self driving in other weather conditions. As you mentioned it only uses cameras so it would be cool to see it in like rain, or snow.
I expect more phantom braking.
Lane detection already is an issue in fog, it would be even more erratic.
The cameras all have heaters and the rain typically wipes off from the wipers and wind from the speed.
@@isaiahlouisb2 Even mild fog in Seattle plus bad angles due to hills cause it to confuse single and double lines separating road directions. I've had issues in Magnolia/Queen Anne where many of the road lines have been rubbed off badly so they aren't fully continuous.
@@isaiahlouisb2 How do heaters help with all the visibility issues from snow, rain, fog,etc?
Marques really knows how to keep engagement. I watch this whole video from start to finish without leaving my seat. I can’t imagine he had a script for this either because it’s a demo and he’s reacting in real time. Dude is awesome.
you don't think you could talk about a car while you're driving that car?
@@Geoffrey___The key is to be engaging. The fact that you weren’t intelligent enough to see the nuance in such a basic statement proves to me that you would not be engaging at all.

As somebody that has used FSD for maybe a year now in the beta, I can confidently say that your "sum up" of "It's kind of sloppy, but it works...." is probably the best way to describe FSD in it's current iteration.
Do you want to be a driver? Or a manager ....Cruise control and slow traffic stop/start is enough ... FSD is bullsh!t ... and will be for another 10 years of development. I'll take another look then.
Should be revised to, "It's sloppy, but it kinda works."
@@hieroglyph321 I think the op is agreeing with Marques
"It is very unreliable, and doesn't really work that well" is what I would say.
Besides the always troubling human un-predictableness this testing is done on 3rd world roads, man the US roads are bad
Your commentary is hilarious. Love how you share your nervousness and fair assessment of FSD. I’d definitely be a regular viewer of your drives to track progress.
With current hardware, not much more progress will happen. This will remain in perpetual beta until Elon finds a new CEO and cashes out as much as possible.
@@Ashan360 Jokes aside, if this means eventually Tesla will add Lidar to their vehicles and stop pretending its terrible, it's a good thing.
@@abubakrakram6208 yeah. They need to add lidar
And people don't have that kind of patience nowadays 😂
It's gonna progress with time..
That was the most stressful drive I've ever been on . . . And I wasn't even there. I think I held my breath a few times. Thanks for sharing with us Marques!
Same! I always felt that self driving was a risky endeavor, but this video made it clear. Self driving is definitely not for me!
wrg, no stress x etc nmw
Those suspensions.. ouch
hearing Marques sigh at 4:30 out of nervousness has me anxious too
I feel stressed every time I have to drive on highways with lots of merging and lane changing. So much so that I try to stay on simpler paths so I don't have to worry about it. Would be nice if AI learned easier routes for it so you can choose to go a bit longer route in exchange for less worrying about it.
For this to work, you will need all cars on the roads to be self driven to talk to each other and use a lot of radar information and bigger information ahead.
exactly, we are a ways from that.
Give it 30 years
I mean that don’t sound too far in the future tbh…
Until then, don't allow this substandard crap to be legal
@@jerryboics9550that would halt innovation
The stressed out vibe that Marques gave during this drive makes me feel like I wouldn't trust it to drive me somewhere, the amount of doubting it does in the drive and the sketchy disengage in that tollbooth with the cone where it headed straight into the barrier and panicked.. idk if I would trust it to let it drive itself somewhere.
it makes you nervous
but i can say for highway driving it is fantastic . and now with the full street driving . it can come off of exits a lot smoother than what it use to
@@dom_z3480 I can see the progress of Autopilot and Full FSD and I think it's great that it can do so much more over the past few years.. But I wouldn't lie down or stop paying attention with it. It makes you stay on high alert
@@christianocampos158 That's why it is "FSD-Beta" right now. It *is* not finished yet, and you *must* be ready to take over at any time. So I think it should not be compared with the expectation, that it drives itself somewhere. I feel like too many people (in general) just don't know what "Beta" means, or they ignore it, because it is currently named "FSD-Beta" but everyone is just writing/saying FSD, but that's not what it is yet!
Of course there's stress involved. It takes time to improve and build trust. You can't go from 0 to 1 within a moment.
Man, my heart rate was high, just watching the video. You could probably make a 10 part TV series of you just driving to work and you’ll probably get loads of viewers
That effect wears down pretty quick after watching a few FSD beta videos.
There are whole channels which basically just do that
AI drivr is my recommendation if you want to see channels like that
This was a perfectly complex drive to film. I loved how it wasn't too crazy, but just enough obstacles to really challenge the AI.
And only 2 traffic violations, or one every 10 minutes! Almost on par with an average honda civic driver
Not to be negative but literally every video I've seen on UA-cam of self driving challenges the crap out of it and puts the driver in harms way or impeding traffic. It's not a system you can get right most of the time.
@Tyler I live in a rural area in Sweden, trust me when I say that the Tesla would have no clue what to do. There are different unexpected things happening in rural areas compared to city-like conditions. Roads will all of a sudden have no markings, signs will be missing, roads will be missing from the map, some areas might even have gravel roads.
I'm quite convinced that full self driving cars will not be a thing until we combine smart cars with smart roads (i.e markers in asphalt, communication between vehicles, government uploading all construction to some centralized road network server etc.).
There are just too many unknowns for an ML taught car to deal with.
@@85Portar In America we have every country road mapped unless it is brand new and it gets added quickly. So rural areas it works almost flawlessly, especially one lane on each side roads. Roads are always painted, some signs missing, but not important ones.
@@85Portar The beauty of Tesla vision is its not completely rely on navigation data, and road markings. If the sign is missing, you can also not see that. Somewhere between 2020-2021 they seriously changed how cars act on the environment rather than navigation data. In early stage of fsd beta, it couldn't be able to handle construction sites or closed roads but now it can avoid them and if it can not pass through, it can recalculate the path.
I was a Navy carrier pilot back in the day. I flew the A-7 Corsair. There was a link between the carrier and the aircraft that allowed it to automatically land on the carrier without the pilot doing anything but, literally, NOBODY ever used it. It was too stressful. One glitch and you're dead in an instant. All the A-7s have now been replaced by the much more sophisticated F-18 Hornet. Automatic landings are common today with the "Magic Carpet" system.
The stress he feels with the Tesla fully under automated control is the type of stress the pilots felt when they were not at the controls while landing on the aircraft carrier.
In your words, effectively…we aren’t there yet. I agree with that assessment.
I like to hope that what we're seeing today is the same kind of child version of what will someday become fully developed life changing technology.
That was one of the best review videos I’ve ever seen. Your personal interaction and observations in the car were priceless. Very informative. Great job.
The issue here is more then the car driving autopilot. Its the risks. If we have an car that can drive safely on a road for 10 miles, but does something unusual during 50 meters, a sudden break, a bad steering, anything out of the ordinary for say 1-2 seconds can lead to a car crash, injury, a unexpected family car incident. That what AI is, its steering yes, but if one little goes ascrew, you might lose a limb.
basically, if he trusted the AI, he hit those traffic cones , and drive through a toll with a cone, after those incidents we have no idea how the AI would have reacted. prob two crashes during one single 20min drive to work.
Totally priceless! I'd have been a nervous wreck... it's hard enough to know when to "nudge" a human driver with words. but to just have options to take control or trust. that's rough. Regarding this exactly: I expect it would have come to a sudden stop before hitting the single toll booth cone. and then he'd have to remove the cone, or back up. manually. Both embarrassing and dumb. And Re the line of traffic cones it was approaching without scooting over... I think it would have run some down... and then stopped. also not good. I was on the edge of my seat watching this the entire time. I know know I should never be a tester for this sort of thing... or even a student driver instructor. :D
Minus the fact he can't figure out the difference between NoA and Beta
He wasn’t even using FSD
There's just something about Marques that I just enjoy listening to/watching. His voice or intonation or stance or all of the above. I have FSD Beta and love it but I can't sit to listen/watch other videos. This one is engaging at each minute at each turn. Thank you Marques!
He has great insights and is a natural speaker.
I've been running the FSD beta on my Model S for a few months now. It went from trying to kill me 2-3 times on every drive, to only trying to kill me about once every trip. A lot of big improvements in the last few months, but given that I still have a lot to live for I'm not ready to turn it on and go to sleep just yet.
Now Elon has turned his attention to trying to get people killed on Twitter. Pro tip: NEVER take a job with him. Because if you ever piss him off, he'll sic his goons on you and your family.
😂 not ready to sleep just yet. Oh man I’m dying from that one!
😂

😆😆
As someone who just bought a new Model Y and didn't buy FSD, I'm honestly pretty impressed with the lane changes shown here- especially with what its able to do on the highway. I don't know if its $15,000 safer but it does appear relatively safe to me with an attentive driver at the wheel.

I have the same feeling about the highway. I live in Florida and our highways are actually pretty good for this, no real elevation changes, well marked lanes, no pothole damage from freezing winters like up north and long sweeping curves. But we once off the Highway it feels like a suicide mission
Bingo- clean and clear highways in florida and some other parts of US and it works perfectly. Stop signs? Absolutely not.
right its that last 5% of autonomous driving that will take decades to fill. 1st 90% is easy.

This is exactly what's in my mind
Indeed
I did not know I would enjoy 20mins plus of a man driving in a car but somehow you made it even exciting! Your narrating skills and choice of words is excellent. I noticed the beep you did when the police car approached, I wonder why? Also, how you switched the video from camera to phone camera while the audio was unchanged *chefs kiss*
The raw emotions here are so accurate. I have the beta as well and this is exactly how I feel on every drive with it. I'm surprised it took this long for a UA-cam channel to come out with a video that could portray these feelings so accurately with FSD.
Honestly, I'd love to see it try and go around my hometown, the roads are usually only 20-30 feet wide with on street parking and regular buses. Taxing to drive normally, I don't know how Autopilot would handle having to duck into gaps of parked cars every so often
Pretty much nailed our experience with FSD beta. Had it for a while now and it is at best a student driver around town. Still love using "enhanced auto pilot" on long trips but it has a way to go for driving on surface streets. Thanks Marques!
This is more then a video, it's an experience. Fantastic stuff.

FSD is actually flawless in CA because Tesla AI team is in CA so most of the testing is done there
It would have handled that situation though. I’ve driven cross country with the car doing almost the entire drive and have seen damn near every situation you would see day to day. Embarrassing moments happen. Sometimes you just have to say ‘f it’
@Daniel Wolf Thats literally what it is😂
I have to say that you have did a great job reviewing while this stressful drive! I’m impressed. Great job as usual.
As an Airline Pilot, we basically treat an autopilot the same way. It’s nice to have so you aren’t manually manipulating controls all the time, but you are constantly monitoring it because it does weird things or gives up sometimes.
An airline pilot myself, about to give the same comment as you just did. Autopilot is a helpful tool but planes don't simply goes from A to B in a straight line, you need to navigate (aside from climb and descend) by pilot's input. So does Tesla's Autopilot, it is acceptable on highway but I'd rather turn it off for city traffic and manually drive the car, bet that's gonna be more relaxed compared to autopilot on.
Is there any possibility AI will take over pilot job in the near future?
@@nhathoang9862 Similar thing I've heard from Train drivers. ATO tends to be very capable but every now and then it will just give up for whatever reason and as such train drivers will be sitting ready to take over (at least for those running in ATO corridors, those running with more archaic signalling are of course driving fully manually as there is nothing for the ATO to work with)
@@pessiescobar4707 Autonomous airplane, as a concept, has been around for the last decade or so. Airlines have been pitching to manufacturers to reduce the minimum pilot required to operate a passenger transport jet down to a single pilot crew (cost saving, obviously). The question is would manufacturers like Airbus or Boeing, and more importantly, would humans (regulators and passengers) feel safe for that to happen in the future? I simply can't answer that. Personally speaking, I'd rather fly with a colleague than an AI who's pretending to be my colleague.
Hey I wonder, do you manually land the plane or is also autoplot capable of landing?
Thanks
As a Software Engineer who has worked in computer vision projects I am nothing but impressed... I know everyone is saying it still sucks and isnt full auto drive but honestly it's come so far the number of variables it has to deal with is insane...
I totally agree. Sure, it’s taking way longer that he said it would, but what Elon project hasn’t? It’s still miles ahead of any other actual self driving. Even just on highways for road trips I would be happy with that. I rented a Honda with lane assist and active cruise a while back and just having that was amazing for Highway driving with young kids.
Yeah my question is what happens if the program crashes or freezes... It's not like we have not experienced that on our other devices such as pc or laptop
The point is that it's a bad idea. Not how impressive the technology is.
@@Dragon-Believer Well, it IS a bad idea if it lulls drivers into inattention and I guess it surely will. The car either is competent to drive without human input or it is not. It appears pretty clear that, as of yet anyway, it is not.
@@terrydanks computers are good at computer things. Driving is not one of them.
I would love to see a test drive like this in some night and normal rain conditions, just rain shower at dark. That's more demanding for me as a driver on the busy streets with all the reflections than the snow itself. Specially with strictly visual based system.
I don't think I'd let it drive me on the busy traffic roads, but since I'm used using to adaptive cruise control I would be very happy with this level of assistance on the longer inter-town drives, specially on a long roadtrip.

I have used basic auto pilot many times while pouring rain during night time. Not only did it see better than me (rendered lane lines further than I could see), but I felt so much safer having it activated so I could focus more on emergency situations rather than focusing on staying in the lane.
You were a lot more calm with that semi truck parking than I would have been.
Getting pissed off and honking, or whatever, isn't going to change a thing. The truck isn't going to move, so you just ignore and drive around, like it was a big dumb cardboard box on the road or some other inanimate object. Who cares if you lose 30 seconds of your day? Not exactly life changing.
I was thinking exactly the same. 😆
Give way and help. If you get mad and honk its only going to take longer
@@Killer99215 Yeah offer help instead, unlike this idiot's comment
Well you all three 👆are obviously saints 😂
One of the most important things to do when driving is it behave “as expected.” This changes by region (due to cultural norms) and also by road conditions. I think the embarrassment you’re feeling is partly that same sense of what is currently expected of you by others. When the car drives differently than a human, that strangeness isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s legitimately dangerous to put the onus of reacting to the unexpected on other drivers, even when technically correct.
When I got FSD Beta, I used to be so stressed on the drive that by the end of the trip my back would hurt like crazy 😂. Overtime, you get to adapt to it and now I’m definitely more relaxed with it. I use it maybe 25-35% of the time.
I've had it for a few months and can't ever get a half decent left turn at most intersections in my town, those disengagements are my deal breaker for being unable to use it 🥲

I’ve had it for about 8 months and it definitely gets to a point where it’s comfortable and predictable. You end up learning how to manage those “embarrassing moments” with the gas petal without disengaging. It makes driving super chill.
That’s awesome to hear! Seems so cool
I will second this. After a week of driving, I had identified all of the potential disengagement moments or things that it did not do well and I take over then. For me, it has significantly improved my daily commute of an hour, which includes city and highway driving with a lot of traffic.
Yeah I don’t think he mentioned the tapping accelerator to tell it to go. It takes some time to get used to the quirks but you learn to live with them and predict them a bit

@@CJ30123 Well obviously not. But thats not what he said, is it? he said it makes driving super chill when you're used to its quirks, and that is very much true.
This review seems unbiased and honest. I also like the kind of tests that "AI DRIVR" performs. He doesn't let the embarrassment factor force him to intervene, but really tries to let the car figure it out as much as humanly possible.

Its amazing how big distances are in the US. 20min commute but most of it it's doing 45 (in a residential area too) and 60 on a highway, covering a very considerable distance. In europe a trip like this would mean you had to cross half the city or even more, but here it is a run-of-the-mill commute, and possibly on the shorter side.
To be fair we have states the size of some European countries soooo.
@@cocoisadog while this is true, I was mostly referring to the size of the cities. In the US, while they are larger, they are not as dense, because of huge urban and suburban sprawl
@@bobdimitrakakis8183 I guess some of the reason for the lower density is that a lot of modern America was build with cars in mind.
In Texas, you can drive for 7 hours, and still be in the same State.
I live in the province of Ontario in Canada which is so big that it has 2 time zones lol. Takes us over 21 hours to cross over into a different province. But of course, except Toronto, nothing is as densely populated as Europe here.
One of the major limitations I’ve found is that “creeping for visibility” thing. It really needs a couple of cameras mounted way at the front corners of the car pointed left and right to help it see around corners. There’s an intersection near my house where it takes like 15 - 20 seconds to finally get a good look at cross traffic before it’s comfortable making the turn. And, as you said, it’s the embarrassment that makes me disengage. The thing that sucks about this is that there is no software solution to this problem because if it can’t see, it can’t see.
Yes exactly two cameras integrated at the end of the headlight assembly, one pointing right and one pointing left would help the system so much! Elon take notes!
Somehow humans can do all this creeping for visibility while their head is positioned further behind blinker cameras. I think it has to do more with the car knowing where to stop for most visibility while not stopping too far so I'd say it's possible to do with the current camera setup.
I'm not sure that's true. Humans are able to see and make a good judgement even when sitting inside the car, cameras on the front should have even better visibility. I think it's just (understandably) over cautious and takes an approach "move slowly until clear" rather than "move until it's not clear".
@@arturpotyraa8397 given that it's a safety critical system I would guess the engineers deliberately program it to stop further back and creep slower just to ensure the safety of the passengers, better 'slow' than sorry I guess
Yes, ever yvehicle needs at least four full-hd lidar drones on each corner, 10 meters ahead of the car and one on top checking for attacking pigeons from above.
Thanks!
Man…loved seeing Marques’s natural reaction’s throughout the video. As usual great content from the team…
I've had FSD beta for about 6 months. Most of the UA-camrs show city driving. I drive mostly country roads. The car struggles with large country intersections, stopping way too short, waiting too long to go, creeping for way to much distance and even into the cross road before it decides to go. It's trust it driving straight on the roads but I almost always take over at intersections. I agree with you, it can be very embarrassing to just let it drive like a 12 year old at intersections or more complicated areas.
I find FSD works great in heavy traffic and multiple lane roads. You put it on an open country road and it has no idea what to do.
hopefully you keep letting FSD try those difficult roads, it will make valuable data for the neural network.
@@Kr0n1k8 Seems like that's sign of what the developers are working hardest on. This is way far away from real self-driving and NHTSA needs to be paying attention!
I really hate the complete stop at intersections when there is no other car around but it isn’t teslas fault. I remember when the car would do rolling stop but the NHTSB put a stop to that
That's where I would be driving. The 'main' road on my way to and from work is a very narrow two lane that's a short cut for semi's getting to industrial parks on either end. I't posted 45 everyone drives 55, corn fields on each side with patches of wooded areas very close to the road. No shoulder at all. If it's raining or snowing it scares me how close on coming traffic is to the center line. Oh, potholes, lot's of them,
Do you think it could handle that situation without intervention or non stop butt puckering?
I found my heart rate slightly elevated a few times during this video, but I enjoyed it immensely thank you for always giving the full-on experience. Please do more of these it was a pleasure.
I felt that too 😂
22:30 Best line in this video 🙌😂 and after that it's capability to see / observe soo much! is Just mind boggling 🤯 Thank God you showed the bit in the end 🙏
Just a heads-up that Navigate-on-Autopilot settings are separate from Full-Self-Driving Beta settings. That's why you had to confirm lane changes, and felt that it was being less assertive on the highway.
Yea, this video was mainly showing driving in 'Navigate-on-Autopilot'. As soon as you go on a highway it switches from Full-Self-Driving Beta to Navigate-on-Autopilot. You can identify Navigate-on-Autopilot by the road markings that are not flickering, for those wondering.
For the record, you can turn off the lane change confirmation even for NoA
@@orcslayer900 True, but still on the old stack the blinker will stay on for like 4 seconds before actually initiating the lane change, annoying. Single stack soon Copium

During 2004-2006, I was a participant in the ULL (University of Louisiana, Lafayette) Master's degree program, where the team contributed to the creation of the "CajunBot" autonomous vehicle. Looking back, it's remarkable how far technology has progressed beyond our initial expectations. The development of vehicles like Tesla's self-driving cars has truly impressed me, back then, we relied on six laser radars and extensive computing power to compute optimal routes. For Two decades the intersections remain one of the most intricate aspects of self-driving vehicle programming.
It appears that the ultimate resolution will entail the automation of every individual car on the road. Once this level of automation is achieved, communication, negotiation, and decision-making among vehicles will greatly simplify driving tasks. This could potentially lead to the realization of concepts like "SDV Uber," where self-driving vehicles operate seamlessly and efficiently while "Human" take the back seat and enjoy the ride :)
As always, thanks for the video.
I’ve had the FSD beta since October of last year. There’s a learning curve to understanding what the car is capable of. You have to reset all expectations every single update. You need to understand car will fail at certain things 100% of the time because they’re not programmed in.
But it’s fun seeing the tech evolve
The cars like what do i DOOO
Well to answer your question real quick. In heavy rain the autopilot shuts off and gives you a warning saying inclement weather does not allow for FSD.
Doesn't sound like full self driving....
@@DetlefEick Hence FSD Beta. It's improving rapidly through real world testing
@@DetlefEick it’s a beta…
This demonstration was way more impressive than what I thought fsd was at currently, I would not trust it on these jersey toll merges or some of the funky intersections, but the fact that it was able to navigate that unusual shaped roundabout and can *almost* recognize construction lanes made of cones is very promising for the near future
I'm convinced that the only way this works is when every other car on the road is also self-driving otherwise i just don't see how to close the gap between human driving behavior and AI. The nervousness and embarrassment is a direct output of that gap and I think it's not a matter of getting better but the inevitable result of erring on the side of caution which if you think about it, a machine really *has* to do.
Came here to say the same thing.
Ehhh no. not really the only issue with other drives who are driving them selves is when they do something critically wrong then that could cause a self driving car to get confused. However even those events can be countered as the car will soon be able to make its own decisions based on the type of road and how drivers are driving. This will lead to a safer experience and the car will be able to handle complex fast moving events which a typical person could get overloaded with.
Clearly it’s ability to map the world around you and give a real time representation of everything shows it’s just a matter of perfecting that and getting its decision making time up and perfected
True story: back in 2009, I was in the military and I was assigned to work on a self driving vehicle with a bunch of smart guys in California.

I have had full self driving beta since it’s initial release. Your experience and description is the fairest I have seen. My experience is very similar to yours, and I like the way you describe it. It is neither perfect, as some suggest, or horrible as others say. As you said, you still need to pay attention, intervene from time to time, and realize that using it can be stressful. The only exception I would note is that I have found it to be very good on long highway drives in the southwest. However, any city drives or mixed city and short highway drives are stressful.
If you’ve also driven a car with conventional adaptive cruise control, be interested to know how much easier you find highway driving with FSD or autopilot.
@@publicmark I have driven a conventional car with adaptive cruise control, but that was a number of years ago, so I don’t know where the technology is now. I will say, however, that I believe Tesla’s full self driving on the highway is a superior experience.
@@patlopez2093 you should try a modern system like the latest Mercedes or BMW system, it can do lane changes like autopilot and keeps the vehicle perfectly centered. and GM's super cruise is totally hands free, and that's objectively superior to "autopilot" on highways.
keep up the great production.
My friend used his FSD to drive us downtown (10km) in a winter city and yes, it was like having a new driver take you somewhere and driving extremely overly cautious. It also doesn't seem to take into account the temperature or road conditions because we were a block away from my destination and it decided to punch the gas around a minor bend and I'm pretty sure we would have crashed into the cars that were parked lol. That was the only time he intervened but we made it safe otherwise
I’d say we won’t really see a peak for self driving cars until most cars on the road are self driving and begin to communicate with each other.
True said 👍
yeah and at that point they'll be sending assassin robots that look like humans back in time to cause Judgement Day.
Almost like public transportation is a good option
the systems just have to get better, which they will do over time
And for that to happen, cars will need to be cloud devices... and that means wireless carjacking will be a concern.
I'm starting to think the "busses and trains git gud" route is the more practical and sane one.
I'll admit, this area really puts the self-driving through its paces. In my area (Scottsdale AZ) everything is built on damn near perfect grid. We have very little/no construction, cars don't park on the side of the road, our highways are 4-5 lanes wide with uniform on and off ramps, etc.

honestly just having the camera view alone is worth a lot, you can so quickly spot and empty parking spot or anything else you might not notice right away, very useful
You have camera view in every new modern car that has good cruise control. The problem is that Elon still claims that this is FDS, but it is not and will not be, ever (which is completely OK, if you call it right name)

Currently driving across country with my FSD beta and I got to admit its pretty impressive for what it is and it does help me beat the boredom of driving itself but everytime I hop in this car I always have the same thought floating in the back of my mind.
We squandered the train.
A side thought though whenever I pass through a state that rains or snows, the cameras are rendered completely useless locking both FSD and Autopilot, so I’m curious what the work around would be in order to fit that strange future Elon musk pitched (like a middle schooler telling his class to vote for him for class president and he’ll throw a pizza party).

Loved this video. Never seen an uncut version of full self driving on something other than ideal conditions. It doesn't look like something I'd use regularly. But I live in the city. Maybe I'd feel different on country roads.
No its FAR worse out of town... it doesn't really think about things like road camber, struggles with worn markings (plenty of instances where it ends up oncoming lane after a steep bend), and non-normal vehicles send it into dangerous identification loops. This is a great tool for the interstate if you take over manually for the bits of road works, but while in cities ect its just too cautious, its actually dangerous on country roads.

FYI, FSD beta currently switches over to the old autopilot stack on highways (indicated by the red lines marking drivable space disappearing on the HUD) - so the FSD Chill/Normal/Aggressive setting won’t apply. The long-awaited v11 is unifying the stack and will either come with Holiday Update for people with FSD or in another update before the end of the year.

Like someone said before, this felt like teaching your kid how to drive. I applaud you on your narration and patience. I would've taken over way more times during the drive. It's big step forward not to where I've seen the unmanned taxis in California. But impressive, nonetheless.
I think these driverless taxis have had a very thorough training on that specific city with all its special cases. Tesla tries to solve self-driving independent of the location. Have you seen Tesla Joy's drive through the desert? Self driving along a dirt road with no marking (not even a clear edge)...
Are the unmanned taxis an independent mfg?
FSD Stress is real, especially in a big city with so many possible traffic scenarios. But it's also mind blowing how fast this system is progressing.
I haven’t been seeing it’s progress for very long, how much has it improved in the past few years.
10 years, 300,000 cars, over 40,000,000 mile, and it still can't pass the driver test. How long did it take you to pass?

There are some things the AI is good at, but the system can’t replace the real time reactions of a human driver. Perhaps it never will.
When driving in the suburbs I feel orders of magnitude less stress when letting FSD drive than driving in one of the largest cities in America. The density of the city increases the possible bogeys that the FSD computer has to navigate around. Even some humans hate driving in a dense city.
Scary to watch it go so confidentially and quick. Great Autopilot progress!
