So sorry for your hardship. Sounds like your wife helps! I’m 73 & still looking & yes, hoping. Hang in there, I guess maybe be bit more self-accepting of your limitations & not force things to the point of being unhealthful or feeling the martyr? Anyway, the K-rail you freaked out at, early on, are designed wide at their base, so even if run up on, most vehicles will be well clear. I.e., No matter how close they may “feel,” they ain’t gonna jump out at ya. You have some of the best FSD narratives, though being perhaps overly subjective may detract from their value. Btw, what do you think of FSD Navigator voice, rather than being directive (“In 500 feet turn right.”) instead be informative (“We are slowing to turn right onto …” or “In about a minute we will start merging right to take the … exit.”), while in control? And if you don’t mind, as a new M3P FSD owner & those other of us with no chance of scoring into the Beta, do you have any idea of how far behind regular Auto Navigation is behind the Beta? Are there safety issues in post-Beta that are fixed in Beta that are prioritized for OTAUs? E.g., On my road-trip to TeslaCon & Starbase from SoCal, I noticed that it had trouble knowing to slow down from high speeds for curves & instead chose to just “go for it” without slowing. However, like a 15yo, once it realized it was over its head (you could feel it coming), rather than just slow down a bit to at least reduce G-loading, it would just “throw its hands up” hoping you were there to keep us from running straight off the road. I was able to replicate this behavior fairly consistently, especially on right handlers. Are you Beta testers able to note such things & let your followers know if/when the are corrected in Beta & have actually made it into general release? TIAFYH!
First of all - love the birds eye view. Looks incredible. Second of all - bravo to you about opening up about your mental health. Hope you feel better soon and continue to make great content. I don't own a Tesla, but your videos are very entertaining nonetheless!
Yeah, birds eye view is cool. I would suggest you do it once every few videos, but I d recommend you do not make your video editing process longer, important to not spend hours and hours in video editing, not good for moral. Try to keep your workflow as fast as possible.
I totally agree with this comment! But I would suggest you keeping this angle but adding another one that could be either your view or the view of your hood
I think one of the best features to work on is AI driven reverse. Reversing is one of the most accident prone maneuvers when driving, but an AI won’t have the same problems that humans do when reversing.
I will keep saying this repeatedly, you're by far the best FSD channel on UA-cam. Unbiased, informative, funny. Every time Tesla releases a new FSD version I look forward to your video on it because I know that you'll be one of the only ones who truly shows both the ups and downs. I also really prefer the way you record commentary over top of the video instead of the live commentary most other channels do. It makes it sound far more professional. That being said, take all the time you need to recover and deal with your personal stuff. Your health is far more important than getting videos out as soon as possible. We'll all be here, whenever you're ready. Also, tell your wife she's truly fantastic.
Mental health is super important and you have to do what makes you feel best! I also love seeing your videos they always make my day better so thank you for putting them out! Also I enjoy both styles. Maybe having the third person camera to show alternate angles and then switching back to the first person view? As long as it’s not too much work that is. Anyway looking forward to more videos!
Hey man, don't know if you will ever see this. But I have also noticed personally over the past few months that I am not feeling myself and having a hard time doing what I love (coding) and I really do feel for you! You have an amazing channel with amazing videos, keep it up. Get better soon man.
I really appreciate everything that you do. Your vulnerability is inspiring. Please keep pushing through the darkness. I look forward to your next video whenever it is released ❤️
To be honest after ten transactions, to many service visits count and the pathetic scheduling of powerwall installation, I am torn between hating Tesla’s management skills and being heavily invested.
@@travelingteslastyle765 Hate to hear that angle but improvement starts with criticism be it internal or external, I bet the farm on TSLA yrs ago too. Truth needs to be shared and Tesla will improve.
This view is really cool (other than the consistent wobble). I think the normal view makes sense for most drives, but this really highlights just how close things are for tighter scenarios
Mr. AI DRIVR, it's easy to fix the wobble using tracking in your editing software of choice. The license plate looks like a nice contrasty place. Although personally the wobble didn't bother me that much.
Another way of fixing the wobble I tought is mechanical, by using 2 sticks instead of one, making a sort of slim triangle. Great view though, maybe even a bit higher could help see the distance of the obstacles etc.
Birds eye view rig is super cool, please keep it! Incredibly brave sending all that equipment out on those narrow roads. I imagine you're getting killer data for the Tesla Brain. Great stuff!
idk, it does looks a bit weird like car is not real but animation from game, that always spot on focus on car, very vibrant deep colors compared to surroundings, constant somewhat unnatural wiggles, just can't get that "this is real" feeling there but more like 'it's virtual reality'....
I really hope your life starts to go better from now on, and great to hear you've got a plan for making things better. Just a note, I'm a researcher pursuing a PhD in an area related to autonomous vehicles and I have to say your videos have really helped me keep up to date with the state of the art and actually see how things are preforming. If you dove into other areas of AI, I'd appreciate your persepctive for sure. Thanks for all the effort, and all the best going forward.
The birds-eye view is really cool! I think the mounting could be slightly more rigid so it doesn't wobble, but other than that, I think that it provides a great perspective on how close it goes to the surrounding obstacles.
@@tomh2572 can you explain how this works? I feel like if it’s a more rigid pole it’ll wobble more, but if you have like 3 rigid posts supporting it then that would reduce wobble
@@PotionSplasher In my opinion, if it's really rigidly attached to the car, any bumps/vibrations will shake the video and cause it to blur, unless the car has really smooth suspension. You're right about having three rigid points though.
I persona don't like wide screen view. It's one of the reasons why I can't stand GoPro. I want things to look "normal", and would gladly sacrifice a significant amount of area for that.
@@ent2220 Yeah agreed, I always thought they were a gimmick lens back when they started turning up on go-pro's, but nope. For some reason people like them. I'm all good seeing less, but with no warpage/curvature
Beautiful perspective, wish you didn't have to choose between this one and your normal one, both are top notch. Your videos are the ones I look forward to the most of all the FSD videos out there, keep up the good work.
6:20 The problem was the camera couldn't detect the right side of the road. It was looking into the driveway and registered that as the road, but the Van being parked there halted navigation. When you manually pulled forward, you can see the navigation map correctly re-draw the road after passing the driveway. It seems like the software has a hard time distinguishing the appropriate path of travel if the road bends behind a wall.
Seems like it has problems doing a lot of basic things that by version 10 of the software you'd assume have been heavily ironed out by now lol... I mean it's been a decade, tons of money and AI poured into this technology and it still has so many issues it can't be trusted to just run you to the grocery store. Kind of amazing to me after all the logged data and stuff that it has to be hand held like this to get a proper outcome...
And this is good data for them to see when they go to make this into a full version, them seeing drivers take over and why and what the ai did next and what the driver did next to see if the ai could do something simaler.
@@jetjazz05 I feel the same way, it feels programmed in many cases and not "learned", much more like a machine than anything resembling intelligence. That's my personal pet peeve with the word "AI", it's more scripted than intelligent. When I tell my google assistant to play music or check if a certain country is in the EU, in the first case it gives me every single time the exact same response for 4 yrs now no matter how I phrase and read it out loud the whole Wikipedia page with all countries in the second case... We are still far far away from true AI and self-driving cameras, sensors, and processing power will have to advance orders of magnitude but the grunt work has to be laid down sooner or later it's good that development is happening non the less. I'm just skeptical that the data is really biased towards the American way of driving, big cars, mostly long commutes, wider roads, car-centric infrastructure a lot of lights and signs. In Europe where a lot of roads are narrower, commutes are much shorter, there are more pedestrians, bikes, cars are also much smaller and the culture around driving is different it might get a wrong idea and especially in countries like India or Thailand where driving a car is an art and life-threatening experience at the same time I don't see tesla ever finding itself among that chaos.
@@jetjazz05 Yes, basic things for your brain which is a freakin' quantum computer that has experienced the world for decades, not for a standard computer
Never seen this channel before. Excellent filming/camera work and commentary :) Personally I'm against self driving vehicles on principle, at least for a few more decades/until it unequivocally matches and/or exceeds the average human perception and ability. With that being said, its fascinating to watch and analyse how the AI handles things at present stage. I also have to concede that although I'm currently against the working idea, the AI demonstrated in this video does drive notably better than many humans in the counties I live and work in (Southern UK) , though I suppose that's only saying so much lol. Great video.
I understand what you're saying but the problem is that overall human drivers are getting worse. I believe the Tesla FSD is about to the point where I trust it more than other drivers.
4:35 "... the beta does a nice job of getting through this narrow road...". This is why I'm confident this tech isn't ready for the UK/Europe yet, that is a perfectly normal 2way road width for the UK, which would have human drivers doing 40-50mph in opposing directions, which may cause issues for the AI.
its not rare in France that I need to eat more than 50cm grass (in both meanings : wheel going 50cm in the bank, covered by 50cm high grass ) to cross some one in opposite direction. and you MUST NOT slow down below 35 mph, because you need inertia to get out of it. if you go too slow in wet mud, you get stuck in it. it may be different with a 4x4 (since Tesla has independent motors on each side it's almost a 4x4 ) but with my legacy car with legacy differential (no limiting diff ), if I stop in the mud, I stay there forever. so need inertia to let the car go in the grass, then get out. if you stop with one wheel in grass or wet mud, you just can't get out. this means, I have to know the weather, can guess if there is plain flat earth under the grass (and not a tranch ), and be confident that without any traction, inertia and front left wheel will be enough to get me out. on some roads this is a daily challenge. especially in rainy days.
@@ninjabieber7695 If you drive in the countryside on a road that isn't experiencing much traffic, that is exactly what you'll expect. Narrow roads with no road markings. No lighting, and sometimes very tight corners. And I'm talking about Denmark. Still, we get very few deaths in traffic, with 135 deaths in 2021.
Thank you for being honest about your struggle with anxiety, I experienced a sudden anxiety increase last year that led to short term serious problems and I just want to say giving yourself the space and speaking with professionals is the right thing to do. Your videos are awesome and it is inspiring to hear your confidence knowing that this is your passion. It’s not going anywhere and neither are your fans. Focus on taking care of yourself and making the changes you need to. It is possible to get through anxiety and come out the other side feeling awesome.
Hope you’re finding the balance you need in your life. Great video and love the honesty about mental health tagged at end, we are all much the same in many regards, refreshing and authentic it’s appreciated
First, I like this format a lot actually with bird’s eye view of your Model S and below the visualization. Second, your creativity, the length you go to show edge cases, your editing and patience with the meticulous nature of putting this all together through production are all greatly appreciated. The personal share was unexpected and I welcome it. I agree with others, sharing vulnerably with just what life has thrown your way is very humanizing. I realize while writing this how ironic that your sharing your human experience when featuring AI ;) I can offer nothing but encouragement and yes expanding the channel to other aspects of AI especially infrastructure and transit would be appealing for sure. Hope the wind is in your sails soon and look for the bright spots when things get dim.
Love your content! And the new perspective is really cool - truly video game style. Anyway, I've struggled with some anxiety and stress issues myself. For me, cold baths in the ocean, sauna, a walk in the woods, or rock climbing really helps. Anyway, I hope you'll find your footing, lots of positive energy from Stockholm, Sweden!
Came for the video but it hit me in the feels when you talked about the hard time you've been going through. I've been feeling similar lately and it was nice to hear someone else talking about their own struggles with motivation and mental health. I hope you move through these hard times and find the balance you seek in life. Keep up the great work
I'm so sorry to hear that you've been struggling lately. This is my first time seeing one of you videos and I found it really enjoyable. I think it's great to have someone testing out this technology most of us don't have access to in real, difficult situations. I truly hope you feel better and keep up the great work! 👍
i’m at a crossroads in my life after having a mental breakdown from the stress at work and with school. it’s really inspiring to know that even the people i look up to face problems in life like this, and that i’m not alone. i’d love to see more AI content from you, as it’s my dream career to go into autonomy!
Hey! This is the first video of yours that I'm watching. Its very interesting but I think the most valuable and special part is sharing about anxiety and being both blunt and honest about it. It could legitimately be a wake-up call for someone who's struggling with it and either feels to ashamed to talk about it, or simply doesn't understand what's going on inside them. I just wanted to say that. Kudos to you, for an interesting video, good commentary and really heartfelt message. :)
I really like this view. It is like a real life version of the FSD display on the car's screen. Gives the viewer a good understanding of what is around the car. Glad to hear you have a plan for your anxiety and have good supports. That's really important. Hope things get better for you. It's Sunday already here in Australia and, yes, I have called my mum.
I also agree, but would also like to see sometimes the fron-view to see whats in front, because that's so small. Perhaps there can be both (e.g. top: overview, bottom left display, bottom right fron view?).
New subscriber! Thanks for how sincere you are. Good on you for keeping integrity and making sure you post when you know you’ll be your best self. Full respect from me. Keep leaning on your support and know you’re in my thoughts!
The more of these "difficult US drives" I see being handled well, the more confidence I have it will be able to do the equivalent but "standard"/common roads in Europe. 👍 Maybe even the Irish/French etc. ones that are single car width and two-way. 😉 Now we just need to be given it to test/train...
Yeah, FSD has seriously come a long way. Though I don't think Tesla's current lineup is a great fit for the euro market, with maybe the model 3 being the exception. They'll probably need to introduce some smaller cars and hatches to better match the roads.
@@MrHaloMinecrafter here in the Netherlands you see a lot of Tesla's. Nowadays the model 3 has the biggest share in the market here, followed by the model X, and a couple years ago you would see a lot of model S's.
@@MrHaloMinecrafter Not necessary. Sadly many „cool people“ buy Suvs and big cars here, too. There are multiple model Y in my neighborhood, as well as X. Some model 3s and interestingly nearly no S. Oh, I’m in Germany, directly between 3 very big cities, the next one just 15 minutes on the autobahn away…
Love these videos. I, too, struggle with my self worth and struggle to put the time into my YT when my mental health is taking a nose dive. The supportive family makes all the difference. As for Beta, it's amazing how much better it is in the USA compared to Canada. I feel like my M3P wouldn't handle situations like you've shown with any grace at all up here.
Hey, just know that as a fan we support you and please try to get help if you can. You are worth a lot to me and many others, listening to your stories helps me get away from it all of makes me enjoy doing dishes. As someone with self worth problems myself, know that you are loved and to me you're worth so much man!
First of all, love the plate! Imo i like the camera perspective, considering its an AI driving the car, having a 3rd person view of the surroundings of it, gives us a good perception on how the AI adjusts distance-speed wise to the many obstacles on the road. Maybe you could implement a secondary camera, either a 1st person view or maybe a roof camera, idk hope it helps, keep up the good work
Wonderful video, as always. Even though we might miss some information about what is happening immediately in front of the car, I personally think this new view brings in much more information about the environment, the whole context, the distance from the curb, etc, even when the car brakes slightly. My only suggestion would be to try that view again a little (just a little) closer to the car, trying to get a better view of what's happening immediately ahead. Great job!
I've missed your videos and I'm sorry to hear you've been going through a tough time. Look after yourself and do what you love. You have a real talent for this stuff. I really liked your previous format but this new format is AWESOME! I hope you continue to feel better and are able to produce more of your videos.
subbed to help out your mental health my man. I too have been dealing with major mental changes ... anxiety/panic and I fully understand not feeling yourself. Godspeed.
I'm apparently among many who appreciate everything you do to show us the progress of Tesla's software, but please do let your wellbeing take priority.
The UA-cam algorithm suggested this video to me. After watching, I found the video interesting, if not my usual kind of content, but I was struck by your vulnerability and honesty when you opened up about yourself. So first of all, thanks for being real-it’s helpful to those of us who struggle with anxiety to know that others share our struggle. That honesty got you a new subscriber. I hope you’re doing okay, and I’m glad to hear you have support. Looking forward to the next video (but no pressure). 😉👍
Hey man just so you know this is my first video and I didn't notice anything negative about your personality here. This work you're doing is incredible. I wish you all the best in all your endeavors.
My thoughts too! I'd love to see it work its way around Inverclyde lol I travel up to Caithness for work and I'd be curious how it'd handle some of the roads up towards Thurso
Its awesome that you have a supportive wife, sometimes you just need a chance to refresh and recharge. Last year my wife supported me in walking away from a 25 year position and a few months later I was able to find a new job in a new field, the difference to my headspace is incredible. Could not have done it without that support.
Do you mean to tell me, apart from the 3 or 4 moments he pointed out, this car drove itself for 15 minutes? Through narrow streets, non-functioning traffic lights, cyclists, pedestrians on the road with pets and even situations where it encounters indecisive drivers? That's insane. I'm thinking an autonomous flying vehicle would be a way easier task for a computer than this. I'm impressed, I thought the self drive thing was only a highway function. I think Nikola Tesla would be proud to see his name on this.
@@natsoph1924 id assume a self flying plane would be possible and probably easier for developers. As long as the plane stays en route and is able to determine height, speed and angle then I don't see how a self flying plane isn't already here.
This is really cool, I love the little glimpses of doing things that would make a human uncomfortable like driving super close to a barrier and folding the mirrors. Automatic reverse is a great function to work on. I've had to reverse quickly to avoid a truck hitting me in the front quarter recently while it was turning too sharp in front and it made me think AI could make these decisions really fast. Any way good luck with the job situation!
Seeing your new video felt like finally breathing after holding my breath. 😂 I hope you're able to successfully navigate your situation. I took someone's advice and was surprised to find that my baseline and peak anxiety levels were much lower after I quit caffeine in Feb. Not completely gone but the volume was lowered enough for me to think more clearly. Anyways, good luck!
Glad to see you back. It is always good to take a break when going through rough patches in life. Love both the old an new overlays. You do a great job in both, so do whatever is easier.
I just found this channel and wow I'm hooked, I'm now gonna binge your videos, also u seem like a really genuine person with a heart of gold so please keep pushing to get through these mental struggles, also your voice makes me wanna be friends with u, keep up the amazing work ❤
Really happy to see this long video this weekend! Thank you for taking the time to record and edit these videos and thank you for sharing always.We appreciate you AIDRIVR and will support you always :)
You are good at this. Please keep going, just broaden out to include more Tesla subjects. Bet you could double your subscriber base. Good luck with the reset. Everyone needs a Control ALT Delete sometime. Thank you for all the great content, it is always much appreciated. It’s not the quantity…
Hey dude. I'm going through your channel binge watching and I wanna say that your content has HUGELY improved over the past year and a half. I really hope you see the numbers on your most recent video and understand that we love your FSD content. Very enthusiastic about seeing more FSD content from this channel
Hang in there buddy. You will beat this and come out happier in the end. Getting to know what causes us stress and anxiety and going through and solving those issues makes us come out better in the end. Good luck ✌️
Thanks a lot for sharing this with us! I've recently been feeling the same things and I admit it's quite difficult to pursue hobbies and such under the overhead cloud of stress and sadness... Let's get back on track towards the amazing videos and content 💪🏼
Hey Buddy, great work on this vid and especially being open enough to tell us about the issues that you've been having. I hear you loud and clear, there are so many things that attack our mental and physical health and it can seem impossible to overcome them at times. Family and friends support was the thing that helped me when things were not going well. Im feeling so much better now, I hope the same results will be your outcome as well.
5:15 - difficult roads.... Hahahaha good one :'). Come to Europe and see how things work out. It's awesome to see the progress, don't get me wrong, but it would be extremely frustrating to be driven in this in my area. That said, it's amazing progress. I expect it to improve leaps and bounds in the next 5 to 10 years.
Love the new view. Many others have the standard view so I think it’s worth it to give a different outlook. Certainly allows from more visibility. In fact this might be my favorite footage of the FSD beta.
I'm a first time viewer. Glad to hear you're taking care of yourself. Also been struggling with anxiety and depression more recently. I'm glad you have a great community building around you!
My friend, we appreciate you and all that you do for the community. I wish you well in other areas of your life, but remember AI is a passion, but real people matter the most. You and your loved ones always come first!! Be well…prayers for things to work it self out for the better.
What can I say. You’re videos are perfection. *Chefs Kiss*. The innovative editing, the in-depth analysis synthesised for all of us normies, and diverse FSD scenarios tied with your engaging commentary just makes the videos well, perfect! Keep it up man! And don’t worry! We love your videos, and don’t mind how long it takes, love you man! Please stay safe, and enjoy yourself!
This content was super enjoyable and really well made, love the camera angles and to see what the car is thinking, especially with such nice commentary, keep on rocking and experimenting, thanks for the good content!
GOSH DARN, I had a heart attack when you said 6 months, just kidding, I’ll always be here, no matter how long it takes. Some Feedback: - Add the original angle when nothing much is happening and add this new (360) angle when something happens that we can’t see, etc. extremely right spot, pedestrian behind - Is it possible to add the 360 in the middle of the car, so you would have even more creative liberty while editing Other than this, the videos are PERFECTION.
Love the Berkeley hills testing! It's a great place for unintuitive driving experiences - please keep testing here. And +1 for mental health. I will continue supporting you on Patreon. FWIW I would hire you in an instant when I get my next startup funded.
Thank you for the thoughtful and human approach to these videos. I’m sure they take 15 times as long to make as they do to watch. You are doing a fantastic job of documenting the evolution of FSD through the various releases in these highly complex and difficult situations, many of which I would have to stop and consider the appropriate action. Thanks. As I was watching this, I realized that while this type of driving is critical to achieve autonomy, it is not actually how I would use it as a consumer. I need improvements in the other end of the spectrum, long long high speed freeway driving. Your comments about how the car reacts more like a person are exactly my “comfort” issues around FSD freeway driving. Cheating to the side of a lane when passing a large vehicle, setting up a high speed turn by starting outside in the lane, turning on a radius to get inside at the apex and moving back out as you exit. Also, the compute speed often seems just a millisecond slow with “S” turns, construction lane shifts, and decreasing radius turns while light breaking. I appreciate that videos on these would be very time consuming and expensive to make, but I sense that developer time is being spent on these situations, at the expense of what I consider to be the biggest use case for FDS. Thank you for all that you do, and stay grateful to have such a fantastic partner.
You are one of the first UA-camrs I have seen that has respect for the lives of others. I wholeheartedly appreciate that. As a pedestrian, as a driver, as a human. You also do an amazing job at pointing the good and bad, in a neutral way. Also, I truly hope that you can power through and deal with the "life” in your personal/work life, because you sound like a good dude it, and you know the sun always redeems what the dark brings us. Keep your head up, keep making videos, and maybe do something for yourself, like your favorite ice cream or a movie with your wife. Don’t forget yourself and what matters to you bro.
I love your videos so much! You bring in some positives and negatives. You aren't biased and your voice sounds really nice. Keep up the great work, and good luck with getting back on track from your mental health. Take your time, you got this!
I hope everything works out for you. Please take whatever time you need. It's amazing how just drinking a lot more water and taking long walks or jogs everyday can clear your body and mind. Thanks for upload when you can.
Upload at your pace, your well being is far more important than uploading a video "on time" for us. I appreciate what you do and always look forward to them! Hopefully you we everything sorted out and are happy once more!
POV: its my first video i have seen from you and i like it. Thats the right video i was searching for. I love Tesla Autopolit (full self driving) videos.
First time watcher here, watched all the way though.. I really enjoyed this and I really think you should consider exploring more of the artificial intelligence side or neural net side of things. When you brought up your curiosity as to why the vehicle makes certain decisions over others in similar situations was wondering the same thing, it would be cool to find out.
Totally feel you on the mental sanity, and i’m glad you took some time off instead of forcing yourself to do things you don’t have the will to do at the time. Great to hear you’ve been able to actively work on it though, and i hope our support helps, even if just a little :)
This vid was so enjoyable, Imma sub. You talk so calmly I loved it. Hope you get better mentally and anxiety eventually winds down man, have a nice one!
Not sure how I ended up here.. But, I really enjoyed the last bit of just quietly riding along town in a Tesla. I didn't even know I wanted this type of ASMR lol but now I need more, much more.
Hey man, Firstly I hope you know you don't owe us (your fanbase) anything. Your mental health is so overly important to your success. I truly love your content. You do what I would wanna do if I had a Tesla. Not only that but you're able to talk about it in a very intellectual way. I'm sorry you're going through whatever you're going through. I do look forward to any uploads from you. Thanks for taking the time it takes to do this. Personally, I like the video game third person view. I'm sure it takes more effort than the other one and it is a little harder to focus on those what is in front and what the visualizer is showing at the same time. However, I think it gives good insight into the whole situation. As far as talking about other non-Tesla related AI things have you thought about trying to compare a Comma AI system to Autopilot? I've yet to see anyone do that recently and while it requires some logistical hurdles it would definitely go right into your channels topics. I hope you feel better man. Your fan base is loyal and is more concerned about your own health than the content you put out. Thanks again for doing what you do.
First timer here, never seen your videos. But I love this content! Very interesting to watch, I especially love your voice and the way you explain and talk. You seem very calm and confident. Even though I don't know what your situation is, don't forget to keep your head up! Better times will come. You gained a new subscriber :)
"really narrow roads" - heh, I'd be impressed if one of these things ever made it down to the beach in Cornwall (UK) during the Summer. When both mirrors are touching the hedges but now you have 4x4's towing caravans to the front and rear... 😳 Those roads are wider than the ones we hold Rallying events on - cars flying down gravel dirt roads at 70mph 😮 I'm sure we will see AI perform at that level one day
Your honesty and genuine thoughts regarding your personal struggles earned you a subscriber sir. I think being honest with your followers and not having “forced” content will gain you much more respect and success, ultimately, than you can imagine. I know you don’t want to feel like you’re venting to your followers, but maybe in a weird, controlled sorta way… it can be rolled into your content in a relevantly way. We’re here for your brother, keep your head up, you got this.
Arround the world writing this, living in Turkey atm. I kind of understand what you going through, just dont stop keep it going at the end you will be suprise how far you ve come my friend. If there is no struggle there is no big mans, I mean, hard times create a great man. keep that in mind and never ever give up on life love your videos keep it coming one step more close to Mars Project.
I hope you sort things out, love the videos! I'm very interested in channels like Not Just Bikes, which explains the difference between car-centric and people-centeric street design. I life in the Netherlands myself, and I believe a very different approach to city design (the one used in the Netherlands) would be beneficial for other countries as well. I'm curious whether you agree with this and how you would see a full version of autopilot being used and sold in a country designed like that, because I feel like autopilot/FSD Beta is primarily focused on a relatively closed circuit of only cars, with few points of conflicts with pedestrians and cyclist. This could be a problem if autopilot would be used in countries like the Netherlands, because there are so many more (unpredictable) people on the road. A soul crushing commute doesn't exist in the Netherlands, and I truly believe the only way those commutes can be eliminated in other countries is not by implementing FSD, but changing the infrastructure so that it is focused on people, not cars. I'm very interested in your opinion about this. Again, love to all of your videos, keep up the good work!
I think FSD would do really well in the Netherlands, at least in most cases. There are situations where it would just sit for extended periods of time, as it tries to not injure the bicyclists around it, but from my point of view, the roads in the Netherlands are quite OK. I'd be more worried about the other manufacturers, as Tesla copes much better with the chaos that is non-car traffic and small roads. I could totally imagine residential roads like it was navigating along in this video being part of some town, e.g. Middelburg (on Zeeland). I don't know about large cities like Amsterdam.
I'm so excited for reverse handling where the AI can resolve the really difficult situations by backing up a little. Also how is this perspective created?
First time watching. I hope you're feeling better about your mental struggles now and I really enjoyed the content. You're really good at this and your commentary makes me feel immersed. Wish you and your family the best!
Really good video! Love the view, love tesla, love AI. This FSD is really amazing even it is in beta. Maybe you can consider putting two of these cameras and merge the view so that we can see the side of the car and get a chance to observe how close it gets to the obstacles. I would like to see more content like this where FSD is challenged :)
Both Waymo and Cruise have released videos of them doing this with a safety driver a while ago. They're more cautious when there's no safety driver, as they should.
@@johnnguyen3834 sure… in a playpen. It can’t do anything outside of the mapped perimeter. What happens when you live a few blocks outside of the perimeter? 😂😂😂
@@GET2222 How do you know it can't do anything outside of a mapped perimeter? Have you not seen videos produced by Waymo back in 2009 of them driving outside of the perimeter? And no, 2009 is not a typo. Don't be confused between the difference of where a car can go with an operator versus what is being served in a Robotaxi. Tesla has no area they can serve without a driver at all.
Nice content mate! So happy to announce that I have gained financial freedom by investing in digital currency. Now I know that multi creation of various streams of income is the ideal Principle for financial sustainability.

This is the first video of yours that I've seen. Don't worry about "being the person" that we've subscribed to. You're you no matter what, and I'm confident that your videos will be quality no matter what. Best wishes!
Hey man this is the first video I've watched from you and you obviously are a great person and will strive no matter what life throws at you so keep being yourself and do what you love sweet content brotha
Thank you so much for doing this videos!!! You´re amazing!! About the birds eye view, I really like it to see the distances for the other stuff around. Maybe you can use the inner car camera sometimes and change to the birdseye view when there is something significant around...
You’re doing awesome my guy! I hope you’re doing a lot better now! You sound like a guine human being that is also helping AI technology for everyone. I hope you get better my guy, your mental state is most important
Subscribed. Liked. The video perspective was what drew me in. I'd love for a vid or two to cover what and how you have your camera's set up, what happens in post, how you get the interesting video game like view you've saved in your hip pocket, etc. Kind of a 'behind the scenes' view.
I like the camera angle, I think it would be nice to have it higher/further forward until you can almost see the hood. I hope you are able to do what you want. We all struggle sometimes.
Damn man shit got real there in the ASMR style part. You sound like you are another person talking about you and how your are doing. It's super great to be able to acknowledge what you are really feeling. That's not easy to do and great to hear about your super supportive wife! Thanks for the great content. I really like the new perspective because of how it gives a better overview of what the car sees, those things can see EVERYTHING with their sensors. Best of luck with it all. Subscribed!
I hope you are doing well. Great idea about adding AI content in general. I did enjoy the video along with to the point comments. I’d like to see more AI content hence sending my appreciation and big thanks!
this is the first video of yours I watch thanks to recommendation, and I like that camera angle quite well! the hasn't been a moment where I was like "wow I wish I could view more from the front" or something. I'm on a big scree on my pc tho, maybe on a small mobile screen? I dunno. wishing you luck with anything you're going through. you deserve to be in a comfortable place, doing what you love. no matter what it is and how much it affects this channel or how we view you, we're not here to judge, and I'm happy to support you by watching these videos. take care!
You are the best channel by far when it comes to autonomous driving and insights. While the promise of Semi-Autonomous driving as an aid is very promising, I feel the selling of of autonomous full self driving is decades (if not longer) away. Can you imagine the nightmare scenario of being in the backseat of the car not focusing on what is happening as the car attempts to navigate roads to become stuck and give up (cars honking, traffic piling up, impatient drivers trying to get around your vehicle, etc.)? The 1st bridge to full autonomous self driving should have been a drivers aid that is extremely robust (and learning) but gives the driver early opportunity to take over when conditions warrant. This may take a decade to become a potential fully autonomous vehicle but it would have given the public and regulators time to grow with the technology and sort out who has the best approach (not marketing) to getting to fully autonomous driving. We did not get from the Wright Brothers to Airbus A350s in one generation of aircraft and expecting to go to FSD in a decade was/is overreach and hubris.
I have watched several of these videos through the years. Sometimes they are good, sometimes alright. This is entertaining and interesting with the growth, yet it has a calming effect. You have a new sub. Here is another 👍because I am allowed only one otherwise.
Really nice video man the progress that self-driving cars have made is very encouraging. First time encountering your channel you seem like a nice dude subcribed :)
Subscribed after watching this cool video you made man, new viewer, I’m glad you talked about your life and the car and the software and showed it working well. Keep being you.
Hope you get through your rough patch. Thanks for posting, great work as always. A suggestion - the tough work of putting videos together will give you some required positive feedback and help propel you out of the funk.
So much love in the comments. Thank you guys, seriously
Awesome video, do whatever you enjoy we’re not picky 😄
So sorry for your hardship. Sounds like your wife helps! I’m 73 & still looking & yes, hoping. Hang in there, I guess maybe be bit more self-accepting of your limitations & not force things to the point of being unhealthful or feeling the martyr?
Anyway, the K-rail you freaked out at, early on, are designed wide at their base, so even if run up on, most vehicles will be well clear. I.e., No matter how close they may “feel,” they ain’t gonna jump out at ya. You have some of the best FSD narratives, though being perhaps overly subjective may detract from their value.
Btw, what do you think of FSD Navigator voice, rather than being directive (“In 500 feet turn right.”) instead be informative (“We are slowing to turn right onto …” or “In about a minute we will start merging right to take the … exit.”), while in control?
And if you don’t mind, as a new M3P FSD owner & those other of us with no chance of scoring into the Beta, do you have any idea of how far behind regular Auto Navigation is behind the Beta? Are there safety issues in post-Beta that are fixed in Beta that are prioritized for OTAUs? E.g., On my road-trip to TeslaCon & Starbase from SoCal, I noticed that it had trouble knowing to slow down from high speeds for curves & instead chose to just “go for it” without slowing. However, like a 15yo, once it realized it was over its head (you could feel it coming), rather than just slow down a bit to at least reduce G-loading, it would just “throw its hands up” hoping you were there to keep us from running straight off the road. I was able to replicate this behavior fairly consistently, especially on right handlers. Are you Beta testers able to note such things & let your followers know if/when the are corrected in Beta & have actually made it into general release? TIAFYH!
Awesome video and take care of you firts.
The only time you can win this game is right now, in this moment.
Then put that cam on the center of the roof, man!
First of all - love the birds eye view. Looks incredible.
Second of all - bravo to you about opening up about your mental health. Hope you feel better soon and continue to make great content. I don't own a Tesla, but your videos are very entertaining nonetheless!
I really like the birds eye view too. Maybe keep it, but switch to a front view for close calls
Yeah, birds eye view is cool. I would suggest you do it once every few videos, but I d recommend you do not make your video editing process longer, important to not spend hours and hours in video editing, not good for moral. Try to keep your workflow as fast as possible.
Yeah the "third person" is amazing. You see a lot more of what's happening around the car!
I totally agree with this comment! But I would suggest you keeping this angle but adding another one that could be either your view or the view of your hood
How did he record with this perspective? How does this bird vision work?
I think one of the best features to work on is AI driven reverse. Reversing is one of the most accident prone maneuvers when driving, but an AI won’t have the same problems that humans do when reversing.
I will keep saying this repeatedly, you're by far the best FSD channel on UA-cam. Unbiased, informative, funny. Every time Tesla releases a new FSD version I look forward to your video on it because I know that you'll be one of the only ones who truly shows both the ups and downs. I also really prefer the way you record commentary over top of the video instead of the live commentary most other channels do. It makes it sound far more professional. That being said, take all the time you need to recover and deal with your personal stuff. Your health is far more important than getting videos out as soon as possible. We'll all be here, whenever you're ready. Also, tell your wife she's truly fantastic.
Mental health is super important and you have to do what makes you feel best! I also love seeing your videos they always make my day better so thank you for putting them out! Also I enjoy both styles. Maybe having the third person camera to show alternate angles and then switching back to the first person view? As long as it’s not too much work that is. Anyway looking forward to more videos!
Hey man, don't know if you will ever see this. But I have also noticed personally over the past few months that I am not feeling myself and having a hard time doing what I love (coding) and I really do feel for you! You have an amazing channel with amazing videos, keep it up. Get better soon man.
I really appreciate everything that you do. Your vulnerability is inspiring. Please keep pushing through the darkness. I look forward to your next video whenever it is released ❤️
To be honest after ten transactions, to many service visits count and the pathetic scheduling of powerwall installation, I am torn between hating Tesla’s management skills and being heavily invested.
@@travelingteslastyle765 I feel your pain... Be well, and I hope the joy returns.
@@travelingteslastyle765 Hate to hear that angle but improvement starts with criticism be it internal or external, I bet the farm on TSLA yrs ago too. Truth needs to be shared and Tesla will improve.
bro what are you taking about??
@@silver1407 These guys are in a cult lmao
This view is really cool (other than the consistent wobble). I think the normal view makes sense for most drives, but this really highlights just how close things are for tighter scenarios
Mr. AI DRIVR, it's easy to fix the wobble using tracking in your editing software of choice. The license plate looks like a nice contrasty place. Although personally the wobble didn't bother me that much.
Another way of fixing the wobble I tought is mechanical, by using 2 sticks instead of one, making a sort of slim triangle. Great view though, maybe even a bit higher could help see the distance of the obstacles etc.
Birds eye view rig is super cool, please keep it! Incredibly brave sending all that equipment out on those narrow roads. I imagine you're getting killer data for the Tesla Brain. Great stuff!
idk, it does looks a bit weird like car is not real but animation from game, that always spot on focus on car, very vibrant deep colors compared to surroundings, constant somewhat unnatural wiggles, just can't get that "this is real" feeling there but more like 'it's virtual reality'....
@@peteriskrumings8771 wtf are you talking about
@@peteriskrumings8771 bruh quit drugs
i think further back be better
Oh lame. I thought that view was made from the cameras in the car. Not some lame camera on a stick this guy stuck on his car
I really like the overhead view, particularly in how the car aligns itself relative to the double yellow.
Perhaps overhead and through-windshield side by side, over path planning?
I really hope your life starts to go better from now on, and great to hear you've got a plan for making things better.
Just a note, I'm a researcher pursuing a PhD in an area related to autonomous vehicles and I have to say your videos have really helped me keep up to date with the state of the art and actually see how things are preforming. If you dove into other areas of AI, I'd appreciate your persepctive for sure.
Thanks for all the effort, and all the best going forward.
Thank you for the kind words Patrick!
The birds-eye view is really cool! I think the mounting could be slightly more rigid so it doesn't wobble, but other than that, I think that it provides a great perspective on how close it goes to the surrounding obstacles.
If you made it more rigid it would wobble more
@@tomh2572 can you explain how this works? I feel like if it’s a more rigid pole it’ll wobble more, but if you have like 3 rigid posts supporting it then that would reduce wobble
@@PotionSplasher In my opinion, if it's really rigidly attached to the car, any bumps/vibrations will shake the video and cause it to blur, unless the car has really smooth suspension. You're right about having three rigid points though.
I persona don't like wide screen view. It's one of the reasons why I can't stand GoPro. I want things to look "normal", and would gladly sacrifice a significant amount of area for that.
@@ent2220 Yeah agreed, I always thought they were a gimmick lens back when they started turning up on go-pro's, but nope. For some reason people like them. I'm all good seeing less, but with no warpage/curvature
Beautiful perspective, wish you didn't have to choose between this one and your normal one, both are top notch. Your videos are the ones I look forward to the most of all the FSD videos out there, keep up the good work.
Agreed
Yes these are (pardon cliché) truly next level.
I'd like the through windshield and overhead side by side above the path planning.
6:20 The problem was the camera couldn't detect the right side of the road. It was looking into the driveway and registered that as the road, but the Van being parked there halted navigation. When you manually pulled forward, you can see the navigation map correctly re-draw the road after passing the driveway. It seems like the software has a hard time distinguishing the appropriate path of travel if the road bends behind a wall.
Seems like it has problems doing a lot of basic things that by version 10 of the software you'd assume have been heavily ironed out by now lol... I mean it's been a decade, tons of money and AI poured into this technology and it still has so many issues it can't be trusted to just run you to the grocery store. Kind of amazing to me after all the logged data and stuff that it has to be hand held like this to get a proper outcome...
@@jetjazz05 None of the stuff in this video are "basic things," this is a terrible driving environment for a human driver let alone AI controlled.
And this is good data for them to see when they go to make this into a full version, them seeing drivers take over and why and what the ai did next and what the driver did next to see if the ai could do something simaler.
@@jetjazz05 I feel the same way, it feels programmed in many cases and not "learned", much more like a machine than anything resembling intelligence. That's my personal pet peeve with the word "AI", it's more scripted than intelligent. When I tell my google assistant to play music or check if a certain country is in the EU, in the first case it gives me every single time the exact same response for 4 yrs now no matter how I phrase and read it out loud the whole Wikipedia page with all countries in the second case...
We are still far far away from true AI and self-driving cameras, sensors, and processing power will have to advance orders of magnitude but the grunt work has to be laid down sooner or later it's good that development is happening non the less.
I'm just skeptical that the data is really biased towards the American way of driving, big cars, mostly long commutes, wider roads, car-centric infrastructure a lot of lights and signs. In Europe where a lot of roads are narrower, commutes are much shorter, there are more pedestrians, bikes, cars are also much smaller and the culture around driving is different it might get a wrong idea and especially in countries like India or Thailand where driving a car is an art and life-threatening experience at the same time I don't see tesla ever finding itself among that chaos.
@@jetjazz05 Yes, basic things for your brain which is a freakin' quantum computer that has experienced the world for decades, not for a standard computer
Never seen this channel before. Excellent filming/camera work and commentary :)
Personally I'm against self driving vehicles on principle, at least for a few more decades/until it unequivocally matches and/or exceeds the average human perception and ability. With that being said, its fascinating to watch and analyse how the AI handles things at present stage. I also have to concede that although I'm currently against the working idea, the AI demonstrated in this video does drive notably better than many humans in the counties I live and work in (Southern UK) , though I suppose that's only saying so much lol. Great video.
I understand what you're saying but the problem is that overall human drivers are getting worse. I believe the Tesla FSD is about to the point where I trust it more than other drivers.
4:35 "... the beta does a nice job of getting through this narrow road...". This is why I'm confident this tech isn't ready for the UK/Europe yet, that is a perfectly normal 2way road width for the UK, which would have human drivers doing 40-50mph in opposing directions, which may cause issues for the AI.
Wow if wat u said is true that is actually super dangerous. It didn’t even have two lanes it was like one and a half 🤣
not true at all. think 35
its not rare in France that I need to eat more than 50cm grass (in both meanings : wheel going 50cm in the bank, covered by 50cm high grass ) to cross some one in opposite direction. and you MUST NOT slow down below 35 mph, because you need inertia to get out of it. if you go too slow in wet mud, you get stuck in it. it may be different with a 4x4 (since Tesla has independent motors on each side it's almost a 4x4 ) but with my legacy car with legacy differential (no limiting diff ), if I stop in the mud, I stay there forever. so need inertia to let the car go in the grass, then get out. if you stop with one wheel in grass or wet mud, you just can't get out.
this means, I have to know the weather, can guess if there is plain flat earth under the grass (and not a tranch ), and be confident that without any traction, inertia and front left wheel will be enough to get me out.
on some roads this is a daily challenge. especially in rainy days.
@@ninjabieber7695 If you drive in the countryside on a road that isn't experiencing much traffic, that is exactly what you'll expect. Narrow roads with no road markings. No lighting, and sometimes very tight corners. And I'm talking about Denmark. Still, we get very few deaths in traffic, with 135 deaths in 2021.
no one cares
Thank you for being honest about your struggle with anxiety, I experienced a sudden anxiety increase last year that led to short term serious problems and I just want to say giving yourself the space and speaking with professionals is the right thing to do. Your videos are awesome and it is inspiring to hear your confidence knowing that this is your passion. It’s not going anywhere and neither are your fans. Focus on taking care of yourself and making the changes you need to. It is possible to get through anxiety and come out the other side feeling awesome.
Hope you’re finding the balance you need in your life. Great video and love the honesty about mental health tagged at end, we are all much the same in many regards, refreshing and authentic it’s appreciated
First, I like this format a lot actually with bird’s eye view of your Model S and below the visualization.
Second, your creativity, the length you go to show edge cases, your editing and patience with the meticulous nature of putting this all together through production are all greatly appreciated.
The personal share was unexpected and I welcome it. I agree with others, sharing vulnerably with just what life has thrown your way is very humanizing. I realize while writing this how ironic that your sharing your human experience when featuring AI ;)
I can offer nothing but encouragement and yes expanding the channel to other aspects of AI especially infrastructure and transit would be appealing for sure.
Hope the wind is in your sails soon and look for the bright spots when things get dim.
Love your content! And the new perspective is really cool - truly video game style. Anyway, I've struggled with some anxiety and stress issues myself. For me, cold baths in the ocean, sauna, a walk in the woods, or rock climbing really helps. Anyway, I hope you'll find your footing, lots of positive energy from Stockholm, Sweden!
Thank you for the kind words Erik!
Wim Hof like ? I like his method a lot !
Came for the video but it hit me in the feels when you talked about the hard time you've been going through. I've been feeling similar lately and it was nice to hear someone else talking about their own struggles with motivation and mental health. I hope you move through these hard times and find the balance you seek in life. Keep up the great work
I'm so sorry to hear that you've been struggling lately. This is my first time seeing one of you videos and I found it really enjoyable. I think it's great to have someone testing out this technology most of us don't have access to in real, difficult situations. I truly hope you feel better and keep up the great work! 👍
i’m at a crossroads in my life after having a mental breakdown from the stress at work and with school. it’s really inspiring to know that even the people i look up to face problems in life like this, and that i’m not alone. i’d love to see more AI content from you, as it’s my dream career to go into autonomy!
Hey! This is the first video of yours that I'm watching. Its very interesting but I think the most valuable and special part is sharing about anxiety and being both blunt and honest about it. It could legitimately be a wake-up call for someone who's struggling with it and either feels to ashamed to talk about it, or simply doesn't understand what's going on inside them. I just wanted to say that.
Kudos to you, for an interesting video, good commentary and really heartfelt message. :)
Just awesome! Can't wait what the next years will bring!
fancy seeing you here
I really like this view. It is like a real life version of the FSD display on the car's screen. Gives the viewer a good understanding of what is around the car. Glad to hear you have a plan for your anxiety and have good supports. That's really important. Hope things get better for you. It's Sunday already here in Australia and, yes, I have called my mum.
same...this view is the best imo
Agree. I love how this angle is so easy to compare with the FSD view. Hello fellow Australian Tesla fan. 🙂👋
I also agree, but would also like to see sometimes the fron-view to see whats in front, because that's so small. Perhaps there can be both (e.g. top: overview, bottom left display, bottom right fron view?).
G'day James
@@ssilk One way to help with that is to move the camera to the side a bit.
New subscriber! Thanks for how sincere you are. Good on you for keeping integrity and making sure you post when you know you’ll be your best self. Full respect from me. Keep leaning on your support and know you’re in my thoughts!
The more of these "difficult US drives" I see being handled well, the more confidence I have it will be able to do the equivalent but "standard"/common roads in Europe. 👍 Maybe even the Irish/French etc. ones that are single car width and two-way. 😉 Now we just need to be given it to test/train...
Yeah, FSD has seriously come a long way. Though I don't think Tesla's current lineup is a great fit for the euro market, with maybe the model 3 being the exception. They'll probably need to introduce some smaller cars and hatches to better match the roads.
They should test these in asian or African crowded cities
@@MrHaloMinecrafter here in the Netherlands you see a lot of Tesla's. Nowadays the model 3 has the biggest share in the market here, followed by the model X, and a couple years ago you would see a lot of model S's.
Yeah I didn't know the US had roads like these.
@@MrHaloMinecrafter Not necessary. Sadly many „cool people“ buy Suvs and big cars here, too. There are multiple model Y in my neighborhood, as well as X. Some model 3s and interestingly nearly no S. Oh, I’m in Germany, directly between 3 very big cities, the next one just 15 minutes on the autobahn away…
Love these videos. I, too, struggle with my self worth and struggle to put the time into my YT when my mental health is taking a nose dive. The supportive family makes all the difference.
As for Beta, it's amazing how much better it is in the USA compared to Canada. I feel like my M3P wouldn't handle situations like you've shown with any grace at all up here.
Brahmacharya and intense sadhana will make you divine. Infinite power knowledge and ecstasy must be yours if you strive🙏 Rama Rama Rama
Hey, just know that as a fan we support you and please try to get help if you can. You are worth a lot to me and many others, listening to your stories helps me get away from it all of makes me enjoy doing dishes.
As someone with self worth problems myself, know that you are loved and to me you're worth so much man!
First of all, love the plate! Imo i like the camera perspective, considering its an AI driving the car, having a 3rd person view of the surroundings of it, gives us a good perception on how the AI adjusts distance-speed wise to the many obstacles on the road. Maybe you could implement a secondary camera, either a 1st person view or maybe a roof camera, idk hope it helps, keep up the good work
Wonderful video, as always. Even though we might miss some information about what is happening immediately in front of the car, I personally think this new view brings in much more information about the environment, the whole context, the distance from the curb, etc, even when the car brakes slightly.
My only suggestion would be to try that view again a little (just a little) closer to the car, trying to get a better view of what's happening immediately ahead. Great job!
I've missed your videos and I'm sorry to hear you've been going through a tough time. Look after yourself and do what you love. You have a real talent for this stuff. I really liked your previous format but this new format is AWESOME! I hope you continue to feel better and are able to produce more of your videos.
subbed to help out your mental health my man. I too have been dealing with major mental changes ... anxiety/panic and I fully understand not feeling yourself. Godspeed.
I'm apparently among many who appreciate everything you do to show us the progress of Tesla's software, but please do let your wellbeing take priority.
Just sad!! You are delusional
@@Acidburn3141 Why do you say that?
The UA-cam algorithm suggested this video to me. After watching, I found the video interesting, if not my usual kind of content, but I was struck by your vulnerability and honesty when you opened up about yourself. So first of all, thanks for being real-it’s helpful to those of us who struggle with anxiety to know that others share our struggle. That honesty got you a new subscriber. I hope you’re doing okay, and I’m glad to hear you have support. Looking forward to the next video (but no pressure). 😉👍
Hey man just so you know this is my first video and I didn't notice anything negative about your personality here. This work you're doing is incredible. I wish you all the best in all your endeavors.
I really never thought I’d see FSD being able to handle the country roads in Scotland, but honestly some of these roads are pretty tight. Great stuff!
My thoughts too! I'd love to see it work its way around Inverclyde lol
I travel up to Caithness for work and I'd be curious how it'd handle some of the roads up towards Thurso
Just give it unpainted, unfinished roads we have in Texas.
Scotland is exactly what I was thinking too, this type of road is everywhere.
call me when it can handle gypsies on their pickup trucks drifting into the main road from outside of one's field of vision
@@BankruptGreek soon.
Publicly acknowledging your struggle shows character and strength. I'm sure you will get through this and be happier than ever.
lol it shows simpness and weakness
love your inspiration and i really hope you can get through this dark period you are having. got a new follower!
Its awesome that you have a supportive wife, sometimes you just need a chance to refresh and recharge. Last year my wife supported me in walking away from a 25 year position and a few months later I was able to find a new job in a new field, the difference to my headspace is incredible. Could not have done it without that support.
Well done 👍
Do you mean to tell me, apart from the 3 or 4 moments he pointed out, this car drove itself for 15 minutes? Through narrow streets, non-functioning traffic lights, cyclists, pedestrians on the road with pets and even situations where it encounters indecisive drivers? That's insane. I'm thinking an autonomous flying vehicle would be a way easier task for a computer than this. I'm impressed, I thought the self drive thing was only a highway function. I think Nikola Tesla would be proud to see his name on this.
What's also super impressive is the main hurdle still to get over afaik is the software. The have probably most the hard ware implemented already!
Flyings cars fundamentally don’t work because of noise, imagine having like 100 helicopters flying around your house at all times.
@@natsoph1924 he meant, as a developer is easier to create the AI, not the principle itself
@@LAMBofLUCI oh I see makes sense, Thankyou :)
@@natsoph1924 id assume a self flying plane would be possible and probably easier for developers. As long as the plane stays en route and is able to determine height, speed and angle then I don't see how a self flying plane isn't already here.
This is really cool, I love the little glimpses of doing things that would make a human uncomfortable like driving super close to a barrier and folding the mirrors. Automatic reverse is a great function to work on. I've had to reverse quickly to avoid a truck hitting me in the front quarter recently while it was turning too sharp in front and it made me think AI could make these decisions really fast. Any way good luck with the job situation!
Seeing your new video felt like finally breathing after holding my breath. 😂 I hope you're able to successfully navigate your situation. I took someone's advice and was surprised to find that my baseline and peak anxiety levels were much lower after I quit caffeine in Feb. Not completely gone but the volume was lowered enough for me to think more clearly. Anyways, good luck!
Glad to see you back. It is always good to take a break when going through rough patches in life. Love both the old an new overlays. You do a great job in both, so do whatever is easier.
I just found this channel and wow I'm hooked, I'm now gonna binge your videos, also u seem like a really genuine person with a heart of gold so please keep pushing to get through these mental struggles, also your voice makes me wanna be friends with u, keep up the amazing work ❤
Really happy to see this long video this weekend! Thank you for taking the time to record and edit these videos and thank you for sharing always.We appreciate you AIDRIVR and will support you always :)

I really hope you see the numbers on your most recent video and understand that we love your FSD content. Very enthusiastic about seeing more FSD content from this channel
Really appreciate that, thank you!
@@AIDRIVR Hell yes! I was hoping you'd see this comment cuz you deserve a ton of love for what you do
Hang in there buddy. You will beat this and come out happier in the end. Getting to know what causes us stress and anxiety and going through and solving those issues makes us come out better in the end. Good luck ✌️
Thanks a lot for sharing this with us! I've recently been feeling the same things and I admit it's quite difficult to pursue hobbies and such under the overhead cloud of stress and sadness... Let's get back on track towards the amazing videos and content 💪🏼
Hey Buddy, great work on this vid and especially being open enough to tell us about the issues that you've been having.
I hear you loud and clear, there are so many things that attack our mental and physical health and it can seem impossible to overcome them at times.
Family and friends support was the thing that helped me when things were not going well. Im feeling so much better now, I hope the same results will be your outcome as well.
5:15 - difficult roads.... Hahahaha good one :'). Come to Europe and see how things work out. It's awesome to see the progress, don't get me wrong, but it would be extremely frustrating to be driven in this in my area. That said, it's amazing progress. I expect it to improve leaps and bounds in the next 5 to 10 years.
Love the new view. Many others have the standard view so I think it’s worth it to give a different outlook. Certainly allows from more visibility. In fact this might be my favorite footage of the FSD beta.
I'm a first time viewer. Glad to hear you're taking care of yourself. Also been struggling with anxiety and depression more recently. I'm glad you have a great community building around you!
My friend, we appreciate you and all that you do for the community. I wish you well in other areas of your life, but remember AI is a passion, but real people matter the most. You and your loved ones always come first!! Be well…prayers for things to work it self out for the better.
What can I say. You’re videos are perfection. *Chefs Kiss*. The innovative editing, the in-depth analysis synthesised for all of us normies, and diverse FSD scenarios tied with your engaging commentary just makes the videos well, perfect! Keep it up man! And don’t worry! We love your videos, and don’t mind how long it takes, love you man! Please stay safe, and enjoy yourself!
Your vulnerability is really inspiring. We’re always here for you! ❤
This content was super enjoyable and really well made, love the camera angles and to see what the car is thinking, especially with such nice commentary, keep on rocking and experimenting, thanks for the good content!
GOSH DARN, I had a heart attack when you said 6 months, just kidding, I’ll always be here, no matter how long it takes.
Some Feedback:
- Add the original angle when nothing much is happening and add this new (360) angle when something happens that we can’t see, etc. extremely right spot, pedestrian behind
- Is it possible to add the 360 in the middle of the car, so you would have even more creative liberty while editing
Other than this, the videos are PERFECTION.
Love the Berkeley hills testing! It's a great place for unintuitive driving experiences - please keep testing here. And +1 for mental health. I will continue supporting you on Patreon. FWIW I would hire you in an instant when I get my next startup funded.
Thank you for the thoughtful and human approach to these videos. I’m sure they take 15 times as long to make as they do to watch. You are doing a fantastic job of documenting the evolution of FSD through the various releases in these highly complex and difficult situations, many of which I would have to stop and consider the appropriate action. Thanks. As I was watching this, I realized that while this type of driving is critical to achieve autonomy, it is not actually how I would use it as a consumer. I need improvements in the other end of the spectrum, long long high speed freeway driving. Your comments about how the car reacts more like a person are exactly my “comfort” issues around FSD freeway driving. Cheating to the side of a lane when passing a large vehicle, setting up a high speed turn by starting outside in the lane, turning on a radius to get inside at the apex and moving back out as you exit. Also, the compute speed often seems just a millisecond slow with “S” turns, construction lane shifts, and decreasing radius turns while light breaking. I appreciate that videos on these would be very time consuming and expensive to make, but I sense that developer time is being spent on these situations, at the expense of what I consider to be the biggest use case for FDS. Thank you for all that you do, and stay grateful to have such a fantastic partner.
If I could make a one minute video in 15 minutes
You are one of the first UA-camrs I have seen that has respect for the lives of others. I wholeheartedly appreciate that. As a pedestrian, as a driver, as a human. You also do an amazing job at pointing the good and bad, in a neutral way.
Also, I truly hope that you can power through and deal with the "life” in your personal/work life, because you sound like a good dude it, and you know the sun always redeems what the dark brings us. Keep your head up, keep making videos, and maybe do something for yourself, like your favorite ice cream or a movie with your wife. Don’t forget yourself and what matters to you bro.
I love your videos so much! You bring in some positives and negatives. You aren't biased and your voice sounds really nice. Keep up the great work, and good luck with getting back on track from your mental health. Take your time, you got this!
I love this setup. Just need to zoom in a bunch. We don't need so much to your left and right, or the very back of the vehicle.
I hope everything works out for you. Please take whatever time you need. It's amazing how just drinking a lot more water and taking long walks or jogs everyday can clear your body and mind. Thanks for upload when you can.
just cut the back a bit out
Upload at your pace, your well being is far more important than uploading a video "on time" for us. I appreciate what you do and always look forward to them! Hopefully you we everything sorted out and are happy once more!
POV: its my first video i have seen from you and i like it. Thats the right video i was searching for. I love Tesla Autopolit (full self driving) videos.
First time watcher here, watched all the way though.. I really enjoyed this and I really think you should consider exploring more of the artificial intelligence side or neural net side of things. When you brought up your curiosity as to why the vehicle makes certain decisions over others in similar situations was wondering the same thing, it would be cool to find out.
Huh... I am watching this video second time. Yet didn't notice it's the same video till the half of the video
Totally feel you on the mental sanity, and i’m glad you took some time off instead of forcing yourself to do things you don’t have the will to do at the time. Great to hear you’ve been able to actively work on it though, and i hope our support helps, even if just a little :)
This vid was so enjoyable, Imma sub. You talk so calmly I loved it. Hope you get better mentally and anxiety eventually winds down man, have a nice one!
Not sure how I ended up here..
But, I really enjoyed the last bit of just quietly riding along town in a Tesla.
I didn't even know I wanted this type of ASMR lol but now I need more, much more.
Hey man, Firstly I hope you know you don't owe us (your fanbase) anything. Your mental health is so overly important to your success. I truly love your content. You do what I would wanna do if I had a Tesla. Not only that but you're able to talk about it in a very intellectual way. I'm sorry you're going through whatever you're going through. I do look forward to any uploads from you. Thanks for taking the time it takes to do this. Personally, I like the video game third person view. I'm sure it takes more effort than the other one and it is a little harder to focus on those what is in front and what the visualizer is showing at the same time. However, I think it gives good insight into the whole situation. As far as talking about other non-Tesla related AI things have you thought about trying to compare a Comma AI system to Autopilot? I've yet to see anyone do that recently and while it requires some logistical hurdles it would definitely go right into your channels topics. I hope you feel better man. Your fan base is loyal and is more concerned about your own health than the content you put out. Thanks again for doing what you do.
First timer here, never seen your videos. But I love this content! Very interesting to watch, I especially love your voice and the way you explain and talk. You seem very calm and confident. Even though I don't know what your situation is, don't forget to keep your head up! Better times will come. You gained a new subscriber :)
"really narrow roads" - heh, I'd be impressed if one of these things ever made it down to the beach in Cornwall (UK) during the Summer. When both mirrors are touching the hedges but now you have 4x4's towing caravans to the front and rear... 😳
Those roads are wider than the ones we hold Rallying events on - cars flying down gravel dirt roads at 70mph 😮 I'm sure we will see AI perform at that level one day
Sooner than you might appreciate.
Your honesty and genuine thoughts regarding your personal struggles earned you a subscriber sir. I think being honest with your followers and not having “forced” content will gain you much more respect and success, ultimately, than you can imagine. I know you don’t want to feel like you’re venting to your followers, but maybe in a weird, controlled sorta way… it can be rolled into your content in a relevantly way. We’re here for your brother, keep your head up, you got this.
Arround the world writing this, living in Turkey atm. I kind of understand what you going through, just dont stop keep it going at the end you will be suprise how far you ve come my friend. If there is no struggle there is no big mans, I mean, hard times create a great man. keep that in mind and never ever give up on life love your videos keep it coming one step more close to Mars Project.
I hope you sort things out, love the videos! I'm very interested in channels like Not Just Bikes, which explains the difference between car-centric and people-centeric street design. I life in the Netherlands myself, and I believe a very different approach to city design (the one used in the Netherlands) would be beneficial for other countries as well. I'm curious whether you agree with this and how you would see a full version of autopilot being used and sold in a country designed like that, because I feel like autopilot/FSD Beta is primarily focused on a relatively closed circuit of only cars, with few points of conflicts with pedestrians and cyclist. This could be a problem if autopilot would be used in countries like the Netherlands, because there are so many more (unpredictable) people on the road.
A soul crushing commute doesn't exist in the Netherlands, and I truly believe the only way those commutes can be eliminated in other countries is not by implementing FSD, but changing the infrastructure so that it is focused on people, not cars. I'm very interested in your opinion about this.
Again, love to all of your videos, keep up the good work!
I think FSD would do really well in the Netherlands, at least in most cases. There are situations where it would just sit for extended periods of time, as it tries to not injure the bicyclists around it, but from my point of view, the roads in the Netherlands are quite OK. I'd be more worried about the other manufacturers, as Tesla copes much better with the chaos that is non-car traffic and small roads. I could totally imagine residential roads like it was navigating along in this video being part of some town, e.g. Middelburg (on Zeeland). I don't know about large cities like Amsterdam.
I'm so excited for reverse handling where the AI can resolve the really difficult situations by backing up a little. Also how is this perspective created?
First time watching. I hope you're feeling better about your mental struggles now and I really enjoyed the content. You're really good at this and your commentary makes me feel immersed. Wish you and your family the best!
Really good video! Love the view, love tesla, love AI. This FSD is really amazing even it is in beta. Maybe you can consider putting two of these cameras and merge the view so that we can see the side of the car and get a chance to observe how close it gets to the obstacles. I would like to see more content like this where FSD is challenged :)
Seriously insane moves by BETA. No way WAYMO or Cruise would EVER attempt this. Bravo.
Both Waymo and Cruise have released videos of them doing this with a safety driver a while ago. They're more cautious when there's no safety driver, as they should.
@@johnnguyen3834 sure… in a playpen.
It can’t do anything outside of the mapped perimeter. What happens when you live a few blocks outside of the perimeter? 😂😂😂
@@GET2222 How do you know it can't do anything outside of a mapped perimeter? Have you not seen videos produced by Waymo back in 2009 of them driving outside of the perimeter? And no, 2009 is not a typo. Don't be confused between the difference of where a car can go with an operator versus what is being served in a Robotaxi. Tesla has no area they can serve without a driver at all.
9:34 my first (but not last) video of this channel.
You are doing a great job, keep it going
Nice content mate! So happy to announce that I have gained financial freedom by investing in digital currency. Now I know that multi creation of various streams of income is the ideal Principle for financial sustainability.
I have secured financial freedom by investing in bonds, equities, NFT's and crypto currency the most profiting of them all..
I got 70% of my total portfolio in crypto and I have been making good profits.
I wanted to invest more in crypto, but the fluctuations in crypto value discouraged me into dumping.
@@paulvince1503 Crypto trading is the best investment anyone could get into. As it could make you rich in a blink of an eye, trading with an expert is the only key to successful trading
I have heard a lot of investing with Mr Chen R Zhang and how good is he, please how safe are the profit?
Regardless of the economic fluctuation, I'm so excited I've been earning $45,000 from my $10,000 investment everyday 10days.
@Williams Smith After I came across Bitcoin trading platform of Mrs Angela Wong Render, my financial life has totally changed.
I have heard a lot about trading and Investments with Mrs Angela Wong Render, how good she is and how she has helped people through investment.
Her good reputation already speaks for her last I invested over $100,000 with her and I've already made over $250,000 profit.
@Andrew Thomas Fortin I will leave her number just below this comment

Appreciate you being so vulnerable. Love your videos
This is the first video of yours that I've seen. Don't worry about "being the person" that we've subscribed to. You're you no matter what, and I'm confident that your videos will be quality no matter what. Best wishes!
Really incredible stuff! This is the first video of yours I have seen and I loved it. Keep it up good sir!
Hey man this is the first video I've watched from you and you obviously are a great person and will strive no matter what life throws at you so keep being yourself and do what you love sweet content brotha
Thank you so much for doing this videos!!! You´re amazing!!
About the birds eye view, I really like it to see the distances for the other stuff around. Maybe you can use the inner car camera sometimes and change to the birdseye view when there is something significant around...
You’re doing awesome my guy! I hope you’re doing a lot better now! You sound like a guine human being that is also helping AI technology for everyone. I hope you get better my guy, your mental state is most important
Excellent video -- I hope you'll feel better soon. This format was particularly enjoyable, feels true and sincere.
Subscribed. Liked. The video perspective was what drew me in. I'd love for a vid or two to cover what and how you have your camera's set up, what happens in post, how you get the interesting video game like view you've saved in your hip pocket, etc. Kind of a 'behind the scenes' view.
I like the camera angle, I think it would be nice to have it higher/further forward until you can almost see the hood.
I hope you are able to do what you want. We all struggle sometimes.
Damn man shit got real there in the ASMR style part. You sound like you are another person talking about you and how your are doing. It's super great to be able to acknowledge what you are really feeling. That's not easy to do and great to hear about your super supportive wife! Thanks for the great content. I really like the new perspective because of how it gives a better overview of what the car sees, those things can see EVERYTHING with their sensors. Best of luck with it all. Subscribed!
I hope you are doing well. Great idea about adding AI content in general.
I did enjoy the video along with to the point comments.
I’d like to see more AI content hence sending my appreciation and big thanks!
this is the first video of yours I watch thanks to recommendation, and I like that camera angle quite well! the hasn't been a moment where I was like "wow I wish I could view more from the front" or something. I'm on a big scree on my pc tho, maybe on a small mobile screen? I dunno.
wishing you luck with anything you're going through. you deserve to be in a comfortable place, doing what you love. no matter what it is and how much it affects this channel or how we view you, we're not here to judge, and I'm happy to support you by watching these videos. take care!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and leave a comment. It really means a lot :]
You are the best channel by far when it comes to autonomous driving and insights.
While the promise of Semi-Autonomous driving as an aid is very promising, I feel the selling of of autonomous full self driving is decades (if not longer) away. Can you imagine the nightmare scenario of being in the backseat of the car not focusing on what is happening as the car attempts to navigate roads to become stuck and give up (cars honking, traffic piling up, impatient drivers trying to get around your vehicle, etc.)?
The 1st bridge to full autonomous self driving should have been a drivers aid that is extremely robust (and learning) but gives the driver early opportunity to take over when conditions warrant. This may take a decade to become a potential fully autonomous vehicle but it would have given the public and regulators time to grow with the technology and sort out who has the best approach (not marketing) to getting to fully autonomous driving. We did not get from the Wright Brothers to Airbus A350s in one generation of aircraft and expecting to go to FSD in a decade was/is overreach and hubris.
I have watched several of these videos through the years. Sometimes they are good, sometimes alright. This is entertaining and interesting with the growth, yet it has a calming effect. You have a new sub. Here is another 👍because I am allowed only one otherwise.
Really nice video man the progress that self-driving cars have made is very encouraging. First time encountering your channel you seem like a nice dude subcribed :)
Subscribed after watching this cool video you made man, new viewer, I’m glad you talked about your life and the car and the software and showed it working well. Keep being you.
Hope you get through your rough patch. Thanks for posting, great work as always. A suggestion - the tough work of putting videos together will give you some required positive feedback and help propel you out of the funk.
