That is a great recommendation! Yes I will make sure that is part of the description for each video going forward. Thanks! ❤️

Thank you I know you say it in the videos but I just hate to go back in the video and try to find where you said it at 😩

@ You are 100% correct. About to update the pretext now in the description about is there for all future videos. I need to go out to my Tesla first to make sure I get them right 🤣

I know right! I was speechless!

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for watching and commenting!!! ❤️

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback! Yes, I get the sense that most folks really like this style of having the driver on screen, but small and at bottom, and to NOT alter the actual driving view.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Thank you! ❤️

You could be right, I’ve been trying different combinations. But yesterday I kept the hat on and took off the sunglasses and never got nagged again for over an hour. So I think it’s mainly the sunglasses

@ just try it…. next time it complains while you’re wearing sunnies… leave them on and take your cap off and wait a minute or three. It is instant to respond normally but if eye monitoring stops and it switches to hand monitoring, it only checks if eyes available again at intervals of a minute or so. I think a lot of people misinterpret what works because they think it should re-enable quickly.

🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯

Thanks! Yea, I keep forgetting that in the heat of the moment 🤣

That’s awesome!!! I need to find some new places now. I’m wearing out the HEBs 🤣

You’re gonna love it! I always enjoy watching this software evolve! And it did great! I did encounter a couple of interventions: downtown and at Rice U. but nothing they won’t get corrected. Sometimes these new updates need to marinate about a week.

@@johnchristopher7697 Great video, JC. I especially liked the ending, when the car switched three lanes to exit. I can’t wait to try it tomorrow on my way to work. Question: When that female student was crossing, and you stopped, did the Tesla miss the stop sign and continue forward? I'm unsure if there was a limit line for the stop sign, but I saw a pedestrian crossing before that. Thanks

@ That final lane changing had me speechless. And you now know it’s hard to make me stop talking 🤣🤣🤣

That’s awesome Jay! Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks Jay! ❤️

That’s awesome! I had my first drive with 12.5.6.3 today as well, it was great! I did a two hour drive and took it through the wringer (highways, 610 loop, downtown, museum district, Rice U, etc), and it was sooooo smooth. I did experience a couple of issues, but nothing major, and sure they will be worked out. I will upload the videos later today. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I hear that may be coming soon with Grok voice assistant in all Teslas. I agree, it would be really nice!

Thank you for those kind words! Semper Fi! It was my pleasure! ❤️🇺🇸🫡

Thank you! I really appreciate that Jay!

@@johnchristopher7697 Anytime My Guy

Love it! Good morning Jay!

Happy Tuesday to you now Jay! 😂❤️

@@jakobwest4811 That’s awesome! Congratulations! Let me know if you have any questions at all. I would be happy to discuss them during my next FSD drive video. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I use it everyday all the time. But then again I’m wholeheartedly passionate about FSD and autonomy and want to help improve the software. A lot of folks just love to drive their Teslas. So whatever gives you the most enjoyment. If you’re looking to get more comfortable with it then I would suggest just a little at a time. And maybe increase a little each day. Don’t do anything you’re not comfortable with. Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️

That’s a great question! I have actually encountered this situation a handful of times. The last few times Tesla FSD basically just stayed behind the slow vehicle until another vehicle behind the Tesla made a move to go around the slow vehicle and us, and the the Tesla followed the passing vehicle if there was room to do so. But it has not been brave enough to do it on its own. But it used to not do this at all on previous software versions. So definitely improving but also not there yet. Thanks for watching and commenting! Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions. ❤️

@johnchristopher7697 thank you for responding to my question. I'm hoping in the future to own a Tesla. Where I live there's a lot of rural roads and it's inevitable to get behind a slow driver or the occasional farm equipment. Here's hoping through future FSD updates it will get the nerve to pass these types of vehicles. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I enjoy watching your videos. Like you I'm open this technology will save thousands of lives by removing bed drivers out of the equation. In addition giving other individuals like those with visual disabilities the ability of self-sufficiency abd Independence

Thanks for the feedback Jay! I think I will do more of these as I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from them.

Haha! Yes sir! ❤️🤣

Thank you so much! It's a pleasure to do these videos, and appreciate the feedback on preferences for video style. I’ve gotten a lot of good comments like yours to keep doing the Picture in Picture commentaries. So I will! And thank you for watching and commenting! ❤️

@ keep it up brother! I also do like your input on X Spaces too.

Thank you brother! I really appreciate that! Yes I try to join in on others X Spaces from time to time, and really enjoy chatting with folks there.

Thank you for watching and commenting! And I completely understand your feelings. At this point I have done about 60-70 of these sessions, to the point I know all of the security guards and cart guys by first name :-) lol, so it has definitely given me confidence that the technology is there. Also, currently it doesn't go very fast (about 6 mph), and I have it on video on my iPhone the entire time so I can stop the car with my phone. I've also generated conversations and new friends in the parking lots with the technology. So overall just a huge plus. But again, completely understand where you are coming from. Hope you come back to watch more! And let me know if you have any requests. I am retired, so I have the time :-) lol

What is your max distance? Mine doesn’t seem to go that far away.

@ Max distance is still 270 feet. Fortunately HEB parking lots aren’t that long, so I can do most of it from the curb.

@ Thanks. Usually I’m too scared to try it at HEB, so I’ll lug my Sushi Wednesday haul to the car. 😂

Absolutely! Thanks Jay!

I totally agree! It's a really nice touch to the night time drives!

Thanks Jay!

That was so cute! One of the big reasons I love doing these is the reactions of the kids. I’m like the birthday party clown you can hire 🤣🤣🤣

@@brianhummel4509 There is a video tonight from another FSD driver where it avoided two deer. Thanks for watching and commenting on my video!!! ❤️

🤣🤣🤣 Do it Jay!!!

Love Chris Cornell! RIP! ❤️

Thank you! I use a suction cup mount with an extender in the middle of my roof that holds my GoPro about head level. Glad you enjoyed it! And then you for watching and commenting! ❤️

It’s why you learned in driver’s ed to keep multiple car lengths distance from another car. How many deaths from human manual drivers could be avoided if people obeyed this law. Anyway, happy the cat is alive (as I’m sure you are too), and happy you watched and commented. Thank you! ❤️

crazy takeaway.

@@spongeintel9323 I agree. This was a crazy takeaway from seeing an animal’s life being saved. But I thank you for watching and commenting once again. My algorithm thanks you! 🤣❤️

@@johnchristopher7697 in a perfect world everyone drives with two car lengths in between and is giving 100% attention to the road 100% of the time. we don't live in a perfect world. my point remains that I hope the auto-driving is capable of adapting to complex situations, I won't be the one finding out

@ Totally understand. For me, it’s my post retirement life mission. To end the Vietnam Wars worth of death our country endures every year. Thanks again for commenting! ❤️

Thank you! I’m glad you liked the in-facing camera view! I agree! I think I will do more of these style!

❤️❤️❤️

Haha! You are so right! The biggest issues with Houston are just the immense amount of sprawl. You can literally drive for 100 miles and never leave the Houston metro area. The other thing is the humidity in the summer. Thank goodness Teslas have great AC 😂

Thank you so much for these kind words! Now that I’m retired this is my passion, absolutely love doing them. And thank you for watching and commenting!! ❤️

Agree

Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions as well. I would be happy to try and answer them during my future videos.

@@johnchristopher7697 Will do

😂😂😂

Thanks! Yes, I was able to keep an eye on it the whole time. Both by watching it in person and the video camera on my iPhone. The Tesla app for smart summon shows you a video of the car at all times. Thank for watching and commenting! ❤️

It would make the same decision as a human would in the same situation. The neural net is trained on the best human drivers. So it would do exactly what you would do. So, what would you do?

@@johnchristopher7697 the specific scenario that scares me is a small animal running in front of a Tesla which is being tailgated. Will the Tesla kill the small animal to avoid a rear end collision? What if I’m going around a bend at speed, with questionable traction (gravel, rain) will it cause me to understeer off a cliff due to hasty automatic brake input? Who’s legally to blame for self driving mishap? Probably the driver, probably best to stay away unless you really trust that shit 😬

that philosophical question always always bothered me when i first discussed it as part of a class in college. It's basically the trolley question: pull the lever and save one person, or leave it and kill him to save five. I never understood why i had a problem with it until very recently. The problem is that it is JUST a thought experiment. The REALITY of a situation will always be very different, with a different context and different set of circumstances. We cannot use our thoughts to interact with reality, there will always be action required, and a thought experiment is, essentially, a fantasy that exists outside of reality. In other words, I don't believe that a Tesla, for example, will have to choose to kill this lifeform over that lifeform, because the car is really exceptional, but also the chances of it finding itself in a situation where it HAS to kill something in order to minimize harm is nearly zero.

@ as your paragraph length suggests, it’s a complex question. I’d rather make the call if I’m going to be liable

@@dillyhaha yeah sorry, let me shorten it: it's a non-issue

Thank you! I am currently on 12.5.4.2. However I was on an earlier version during the time of this video, I was in 12.5.4.1. I just received the new software a few days ago and uploaded some videos of that as well. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Sad to hear you don’t like it. Thank you for watching and commenting regardless. ❤️
