This is quickly becoming a favourite channel! The humour is 11/10. Keep it up dude! Also, the first time a drove an electric vehicle (Volvo c40) I lost every ounce of hate towards them. I still prefer gas vehicles (because I’m broke and love old stuff), but my lord… That C40 had me giggling like a little girl! It feels wrong to move so fast with no noise🤣
Thank you kindly for the sincere words. I love old stuff too, and old Volvo's will continue to run for another 80+ years regardless long after I expire
The next time I see a Tesla do something questionable, I'll assume it's in full self driving mode lol. This thing kind of drives like I would to be fair, it's almost like the computer and the human is constantly saying to itself "Is the risk worth the reward?"
i thought the same thing, he was in another video awhile back testing in the snow and it seems fear is not in the vocabulary which makes for the most interesting fsd vids
Glad your posting and having as much fun as you can. Hearing your history explains how you ended up where you are and I hope that's your car. Love the sense of humor, keep it up. 👍
Tried FSD with my Father in Law today on a run to the airport- it definitely likes to shoot the gap when available, hit every pothole in Michigan, and doesn’t improvise so well in construction. Other than that I agree that it’s progress.

Tesla should definitely hire you as their marketing guy because you just sold me and my wife FSD, well at least enough to try it out...Looking forward to getting the trial on our 3 and Y.
@@boxeclectic Let's just say that it drives a hell of a lot better than my sister-in-law, which is what I would consider to be a bare minimum. So far the only issue that I noticed was more spirited driving on unprotected turns. I think you had similar issues in your video as well. Overall, I actually think that I had less issues than you did because Sacramento has a more modern/easier to understand road design compared to where you live in New England. I think I had more personal issues with not being used to letting the car doing its own thing. Took a while to get used to the whole "Jesus take the wheel" part of the process.
im not a fan of tesla, but i have to say, driving on our new england roads without marking, managing that EVIL exit in nashua, and city driving with narrow roads, parked cars, and pedestrians is all quite impressive.
Glad I found you after "the incident!" 🙂 I'm similarly impressed with 12.3.6 and I too live in a rural area. And concur with all the preface statements and logic, etc. 🙂 Looking forward to your videos! Chickens are wonderful.
Should have the four ways on or something else that let's other people know that it's the car driving not the people inside. But for me, having sat behind the wheel it's a pass.
To be fair to Tesla, they did make a "quad" that fits the actual bed of the actual the Cybertruck. They started one the drawing table with a pickupt truck on the bed of a Tesla pickup truck.
This is quite remarkable. As impressive as it is, though, where I would really want the car to take over would be during the countless white-knuckle drives I make to and from gigs in horrible weather, especially in blizzard conditions. But that's exactly when such systems tend to crumble. Maybe some day, with a vehicle that combines cameras and AI with radar and lidar and a 5-10x increase in GPS accuracy... something that's possible but that we may not see in consumer electronics any time soon.
@@lucadellasciucca967 - You might turn out to be correct. But I highly doubt it. As soon as those cameras get a few snowflakes on them... game over for Autopilot, never mind FSD.
@@lucadellasciucca967 - But if it's blind, it won't matter. And snow has a tendency to do that. As does slush or mud or even rain, if it's heavy enough.
@@MarcCoteMusic Snow can be melted. Autonomous driving in mud doesn t make much sense. Still, a cybertruck has autocleaning front camera i guess. Point being, in 5 years autonomous cars all over the place! Snow is not gonna stop it
Where's Carl? Ok, I actually have to post a real comment in response to Steve On's reference to people who don't like EVs and the implication that they are anti-science, logic and progress. What I don't like is absolutism. EVs work in some circumstances, they don't in others. I used to live in California and was one of the first owners of a Model S P85, then I ordered a P85D the night it was announced. I loved both cars. Brilliant designs, smart engineering and even though EV fast charging was in its infancy at the time (2013 for the P85, 2014 for the P85D) the fact that CA was where so many Superchargers were located made it a non-issue. Then I got tired of the nanny state-ism of California, especially when "science" was used to deprive people of individual rights (i.e., Covid), and I moved. Since I'm a hunter and outdoorsperson generally, and I love liberty, I ended up in Montana. Couldn't be happier. But EVs really don't work in most parts of Montana. For example, I went to look at some new hunting land about 200 miles from my house over the weekend. I have an older F150 and it was absolutely zero problem to do the 400 mile round trip, which included off road and high speed driving (97 is where my truck is governed and I was at that for about 80% of the trip). The biggest town on the trip was Harlowtown and there's no fast EV chargers anywhere near the route. I spend a lot of time in similarly remote areas for hunting, fishing, cutting/hauling firewood and snowmobiling. An EV simply doesn't work, especially when hauling a load and when the temps are below zero (happens a lot). And I tend to get stuck in the boonies...often in deep snow. With my F150 and its 36 gallon fuel tank, I can handle a night stuck in the snow and still get home without having to be towed once I get the truck unstuck. With an EV? No dice. Yes, if you live in an urban area or a state with a lot of fast chargers you probably don't have this issue. But I do, and as much as I love EVs and want them to succeed, it's still WAY to early for them to be the only choice. Maybe in 20 years. Until then, I'll keep driving my ICE pickup. What I would really love is a PHEV pickup, but I am not going to spend $80k+ for that when my current pickup runs great and was paid for the day I drove it off the lot.
Personally I could care less about ev , just not practical in my personal situation but if Stevon loads a video driving around the block I will watch like and comment
i watched it a few times, its the car in front of him. the tesla went in front of him.. it looks like a safe enough distance, but he IS in New England where people are just short fused.
It is rare to see a Tesla autopilot itself without any shenanigans. I was also as impressed as your two "players" were. If you don't mind my asking, what are you feeding that raccoon and why do you trust it?
Has anyone EVER caught a Tesla device or system self learning? Years into their "self learning", cars would take to the outside berm (crash) on the same damn old curve still. And try to ram a lane divider that killed a Tesla driver a week prior.
There is no self learning from a specific car. Tesla needs to specifically train the scenario and update the fleet. Still need to pay attention at all times while using FSD.
It's nice that you signed up to demo this "self driving" car. It fine that you're risking your life. It's f#cking bullsh't that you are risking mine. Nobody asked me.
he drives professionally been doing it a long time. i think its wild of tesla too, but its def starting to be better than the people on their phones around us
Data showed Tesla FSD + human supervision was about 8x less incident per miles. Meanwhile a year has passed, FSD got A LOT better. Do i need to write the conclusion?! They shouldn t ask you anything, you seem quite uninformed.
When you cutting the videos, it feels fake.. I mean, staged... So would be much better if you just keep videos uncut, you know? Let's show some mistakes too it's okay.
@@TonyMarinaro-c2o Watching an hour of self driving doesn t mean having long span attention. People that go to Lord of the rings marathons would have the world record!
I included the sped up timelapse of the drive for that reason. It was 9.5 hours of footage from several days and driving, and all the rest of it the car did execute beautifully.
So Firstly, good to see your gettting better, even though you have a limp❗️ I think I can understand that your probably not allowed to talk about the race car accident & will when your able & willing, until then, more car videos please 🙏🏻 I used to watch Richs channel for you mr humour and positive vibes👍🏻👌🫵🏼🤣😅‼️
of all FSD videos, this one was the best
Thanks for the ride and commentary. Keep 'em coming.
