Individual creator exploring FSD/autonomy safety and EV tech through discussion and experimentation.

Going to the dentist today and still amazed at how well Tesla's FSD gets me from one place to another, finds a space, parks, and takes it out of gear. It's just as inconsistent as to whether it fronts or backs into a space. Now if it would just unfasten my seat belt and open the door, we'd be good.

Living downtown you see a lot of this, people just in the way. I have to admit, Tesla's FSD did a pretty good job of navigating around these obstacles. The parked truck and the parked car, with a third vehicle moving around...

Another recent instance where Tesla's FSD just can't pick a lane. After spending time getting out of the 7th St turn lane, it decides it wants to exit anyway. Then once off the exit, it can't seem to decide which...

Over the weekend, we were treated to a fairly dystopian view of Route 51, south bound into Phoenix, as part of a pavement improvement project. This weekend's work removed surface pavement from this stretch in preparation for diamond grinding. Between the...

Fun fact: Tesla's FSD is so cautious, if you can figure out if they are using it, it's easy to prevent them from merging. Even other Teslas take advantage of it! 🤦T

I know it’s me, but I think things like this are very funny. There are very few cars in the parking lot, the spaces are wide open, and it still takes Tesla’s FSD three corrections to park. When it started...

Waymo's been in and around Phoenix since before 2020 and driving autonomously even in parts of Scottsdale and the surrounding cities for years. It is now very odd seeing a driver behind the wheel. I am sure there are loads of...

I appreciate that Tesla's FSD actively watches out for pedestrians. Even if they are not sure of what I am going to do. It's hard to tell if the system's hesitation is because of the pedestrians not sure if I am...

I like the extra help Tesla's FSD provides while navigating the bike lanes in downtown. The bike lanes are intertwined with car lanes so the additional "eyes" are useful. It's also interesting that, just like human drivers, crossing the double yellow...
