Tesla FSD Hesitates on Green Left Turns, Misreads Speed Zones
Tesla FSD (Supervised) v14.2.2.5 Sudden braking on greenlight protected left hand turns. At Van Ness and Broadway there's two lanes of arrow-lighted protected left hand turns. Today the MY braked hard even when light was green. I tapped accelerator and we proceeded. Its happened before at varying degrees in recent days. I'd had the front-facing camera (the one with mount inside the cabin) cleaned/cleared and updated so not sure if that's it. Coming out of the Broadway tunnel, in Hurry mode, FSD is also slow to recognize the shift from 35mph to 20mph. I have had one warning ticket (oops). Some days it does recognize the 20 zone and you see it change quickly on the display. That's often when there's cars slowing in front of you. If its clear, it often stays on 35mph.
