Falcon Field is the closest airport to me. Mesa Gateway is second. I actually did most of my initial flight training at Chandler though - before I started recording.

pretty happy with it. I started using FSD when it was first available and you had to have a safety score. It has come a long way and it very useful for me most of the time. I'm looking forward to the day I dont have to monitor it, which I think will be coming sooner than most people think.

the setting sun does pose an issue sometimes - especially when it is on the horizon and the light is directly in the camera. BUT, the percentage of the times that it affects my drives is relatively low. It usually just warns that a camera is occluded and that I need to take over until the sun is not coming directly into the camera lens.

it will sometimes come out of attention monitoring but it usually goes back. i wear sunglasses when I drive and sometimes when the attention monitoring kicks off i actually take my sunglasses off momentarily so that i can re-engage the attention monitoring. but that is pretty rare - it normally comes back by itself. it's not really that big of a deal for me

then you're missing the whole point.

Yeah... Let me point out a disclaimer in the first line "FSD,IMO"... Cheerio mate!

okay, yeah. um it proves itself everyday. It drives safer than a human.

have you even tried it recently

I did not pay anything to upgrade to HW3. I bought my M3 used from Tesla with less than 9k miles on it. It included HW3, acceleration boost, and FSD.

I honestly dont care about views. it was just an interesting observation. I started this channel with the thought that no one would watch because driving is boring. Then people starting watching and then people started subscribing. the goal of my videos isn't to have fancy graphics, music, or a narrative. There is no story. it is to document the progress of FSD and how it has affected my drives in the area where I drive. I don't force drives through busy traffic just for interesting content to capture more viewers. I just document my drives. that's why. and i don't really care about anything else. watch or dont. i don't care. Those are my thoughts in general. having said that, thanks for watching and i'm glad you enjoyed it.

I appreciate you!

FSD is the Full Self Driving "product" which is the AI hardware and software that drives the car by itself. The FSD system includes the cameras, the computer, the inference software, and the output to the controls. I think of the screen as just the display that shows many things. I have it set to show the road view when I'm driving. it does have indications that FSD is engaged, but it by itself is not FSD. The screen is like a giant tablet attached to the car. It has a touch screen and you can go into settings to change preferences, view maps and set navigation, play games and watch videos, open a web browser, etc. some of the things like watch videos you can only do in park at the moment. Also, the road view is included with the car regardless if you purchase FSD. it is an attempt to show the car's surroundings so that you don't necessarily have to look in your blind spot, for example, while changing lanes. The display shows you traffic or other obstacles surrounding your car. When you go to park your car, sensors will show you how close you get to objects, so when I pull into the garage it will actually tell me in inches how far I am from the wall of the garage. but that part of it is NOT FSD and included in the software by default when you purchase the car.

since March 2021

In Arizona, HOV lanes are only open to vehicles with two or more occupants during weekday rush hours, from 6-9 AM and 3-7 PM. At other times, any vehicle can use the HOV lane unless there are other posted restrictions. Additionally, I have an AZ EV plate with allows access during the restricted hours so I am able to drive in the HOV late whenever I want, however, most of my driving right now is in the times outside of rush hours. I'm sure if there is an HOV setting in the car, I have selected that years ago. Maybe you can point me to the setting so that I can verify?

​@@Phenix9-TM3 no I meant in the future they will need to handle that.

oh gotcha

i got my car used in 2021 from Tesla and included FSD when I bought it.

@ How much mileage did the car have when you bought it?

about 9k

you can set the speed. otherwise, FSD usually goes fairly slow to be honest

HW3

no

Tesla has said that with the rollout of each new major update, they will give 30 days free so that people can try out the software and see its features and capabilites.

@@Phenix9-TM3 I thought it's a bribe to vote for Trump.

no

really?

@highlanderc according to The Driven Australia, someone used FSD and hit an animal in the middle of the highway at night in about 50 metres far away. Because Cameras can't see clearly in the dark. Unless you use radar. Radar can detect objects in any situation. You can search for the recent news on The Driven. Radar is very expensive.

at what timestamp on the video?

@@Phenix9-TM3 It must have been my mistake. At the beginning, after the screen came back on, it looked as if your arrow was pointed in the wrong direction. I've been watching your other videos. It seems you start in the same location, and I noticed the arrow is always like that.

@@jaymeromero3954 looks okay to me...

probably closer to 4-5 minutes actually.

It has been pretty much perfect for me so far, only minor things here and there.

yes
