- Putting Tesla’s Autopilot to the ultimate test in my Model Y: The Worst Los Angeles Freeway Interchanges! LA Traffic is notoriously bad, and the design of the freeways is no help. How can autopilot handle merging onto the 101, 110, 210, 605, 10, and 5?
Software: 2020.28.6 in Model Y.
Lane Change Confirmations: Off
Following Distance: 1
Speed Based Lane Changes: Average

Tesla sells a Full Self Diving Package for $8000 for all of their cars, and the main feature of this package is Navigate on Autopilot, which Tesla says includes
“automatic Driving from Highway on-ramp to off-ramp including interchanges and overtaking slower cars”. So essentially, once I get on the freeway, the car should be able to drive me all the way until my exit, no matter where I route it.
So, I decided to put Autopilot to the ultimate test, and route myself through some of the craziest freeway interchanges in Los Angeles, during rush hour.
I started by routing myself from the 210 over to USC which required me to take the 210. 605, 10, 101, and 110. Then I did a bunch more crazy interchanges downtown and out in Glendale, and we had some success, and some failures from Autopilot. The video will be a little out of order since it took a bit to really get into the heat of traffic, but I’ll be sure to let you know everything that’s going on.
For the purposes of the test, I let the software determine everything, and had Lane change confirmations turned off. So if I’m hanging out in the passing lane, or doing any stupid driving maneuvers, it’s the software okay….not me! Normally I would take over in these scenarios but I wanted to see what the car would do for this video.
Also for all of you Tesla nerds out there, I’m on software version 2020.28.6 in the Model Y with Hardware 3.0, speed based lane changes are on Average, and my following distance is set to 1. . Alright lets get into it.
For today’s test, I’m driving in my Tesla Model Y, and using Full Self Driving, or FSD with Navigate on Autopilot with Lane Change Confirmations turned off. I try lots of crazy freeway interchanges, merges, and intersections all throughout downtown Los Angeles during rush hour, and see how Autopilot can handle in LA Traffic. LA Traffic Autopilot.
You’ll see times when Autopilot does a great merge, or a terrible merge, as well as some cases of the Model Y doing phantom braking. You’ll get to see just how non-courteous LA drivers are, and see how angry they can be from time to time. I’m glad it wasn’t an accident in one of those “Autopilot Accident” videos, and overall I’m glad that in general, Autopilot seems to do incredibly well.
Tesla’s Full Self Driving package includes:
Auto Lane Change
Autopark
Navigate on Autopilot
Recognize and Respond to Traffic Lights and Stop Signs
Summon
And soon: Autosteer on City Streets.

We saw some pretty big extremes from Autopilot today putting it through some really tough circumstances with crazy freeway onramps, merges, interchanges, and lane changes.=. Sometimes it did a really great job and did no better or worse than I would have done, but sometimes it just sat there and waited for a gap and did a really poor job.
Overall, really exciting technology, and I’m super excited to see what the future holds. Also just to reiterate, I don’t use it to this extent every time I drive. ‘d typically take over much sooner in all of the times it failed throughout this video.

Ryan Shaw Full self driving is already activated???
Horrible test with out actually letting the car do its thing to see what would actually happen. Scared little driver
Let the car work you are really bad at using Tesla self driving not the car
Hallo
Would be awesome to see a 1-year later update!
Would be super interesting to see a highway full of self-driving Teslas. I imagine the traffic would flow pretty seamlessly
@@timduncan8450 this. They're not trained to drive with other Teslas, why would that be any better?
@@jldstuff393 At least they wouldn't accelerate when they see you're trying to lane change (probably)
@@Kowan lol true at least they're not aggressive and vindictive
@@jldstuff393 imagine, random tesla remembers your tesla drives like a jerk and everytime it sees you, it'll try and run you off the road lol
@@Kowan petty AI lol
Watching Americans drive on the highway in the US always gives me anxiety. I'm from Germany and there are strict laws which mandate you to always stay in the furthest right lane unless you need to overtake someone. You are also absolutely not allowed to ever overtake anyone on the right. This makes driving really smooth and it feels like a perfect choreographed dance between all vehicles (Obviously we have bad drivers, too, but it feels like those are 95% fewer than in America). Those rules are obviously in part due to the fact that we don't have speed limits on many sections and therefore the left lane usually has people going 150-200 mph. But seeing people just weave in and out, overtake left and right, sit in the left lane while going slow is just pure madness to me. I'm not sure if Teslas Autopilot in Europe has some kind of different software to follow these rules, but if it doesn't, it's absolutely not usable on the german highway since it is vital to for example move to the right when someone comes up to you from behind at max speed and you need to anticipate this already when the car is hundreds of meters away.
Sorry for my messed up english, I hope you guys get what I'm trying to say.
I could be wrong, but last time I checked the US driving test is mainly an exam, not including much actual road experience. This surely doesn't help that case, especially considering every other road user there is on their phone. In Europe thankfully very few people use their phones whilst driving now, there's really heavy fines for it. Like you said too, we don't undertake either, if someone tries to undertake it upsets everyone else on the road. :)
In regards to Tesla Autopilot in Europe, yeah, it's different. It won't undertake anyone, if you're about to undertake them they'll show up as a darkened car on the display which means the car is following them, in this case, it'll just match their speed and give you space to move in behind them. When I visited France it was interesting because a lot of people there sat in the middle lane but would be going slower than the right-hand lane, causing Autopilot to brake quite hard to avoid undertaking them.
Germany has an excellent Autobahn System. In the US, if there are more than two lanes, I have no problem passing someone on the right and no problem being passed on the right. And even on two lanes, if someone is creeping in the left lane, you have no alternative than to pass on the right.
@@arningad In Europe it's extremely frowned upon to pass on the right so we just sit in the left lane behind someone until they move. Some people indicate behind them and flash their highbeam to get them to move out of the lane.
Passing on the right is a bit scary for us because it's usually pretty rare, I guess we don't expect it. :)
@@VoxelLoop It's not only rare, but it's highly illegal (at least in germany). Thanks for the clarification regarding autopilot
Definitely more the trucks fault, the driver had a completely open lane to the right to get in earlier, and that would have avoided it. You have an autopilot, that truck has an auto-douchebag.
@Blaise Ayika Ah the stupid troll
Tesla is training its AI with data from people driving in the real world.
Here's the problem...
People are stupid.
True. It might get bad data from people taking over when they didn't need to.
Tesla should make their AI learning drivers behavior in southeast asia street.... guaranteed it gonna "hang" 😁
@@thomasjuniardi3559 Yeah good luck in peak hours in Bangkok, actually anytime in Bangkok!
I just really don't care about self-driving. To me its just like why what are you gaining from it
@Will Reese yah if you suck at driving. I think its pretty cool and all. It just gives me no added value to my life
Tesla cars need a sign that lights up when using autopilot that says:
“Autopilot Engaged; please forgive me I’m a trainee.”
Or “Elon is driving.”
That would make someone's day for sure.
I don't know about that, what if there's a short seller driving near by?
Agree
I laughed when I first read this but seriously, SOME human drivers would do well to see this kind of warning. This would be like a slow car using it'S FLASHERS/HAZARD lights - everyone around would know to be cautious around this car.
They make a rear trunk magnet that says “I’m probably not driving” with the Autopilot icon.
That moment when a Tesla is driving itself and is trying to merge, but another Tesla, probably driving itself, won’t let it on at 5:15
😂😂😫
Real life simulation 😂😂 people really don’t like people merging
Another Tesla around 3:50
Automatic aggression mode
5:19 even the other Tesla didn't let you in, and what if it also was on autopilot. That's the next update Teslas talking to each other on the road.
I thougut all tesla vehicles talk to each other
I imagine it wasn't on Autopilot otherwise it could have kept a huge gap in front and the Model Y would have moved into it. :)
That would be cool... like synchronized swimming in caddy shack.. hahaha
Cars x movie
You are in LA, you need Mad Max mode, or don't use NOA.
@Ken Y That is what I was going to suggest as well.
Mad MAX mode should be the default for any driver in heavy traffic situation or RUSH HOUR traffic because that is how humans drive, and it may be the only way to have it successfully deal with traffic situations with aggressive or stupid human drivers!
When FSD can handle rush-hour traffic in Bombay (Mumbai) India, then, and only then, will I call the technology mature! ;-)
Car will go nuts with all that chaos 😅
What about holes in the road, traffic signs covered by branches, rude drivers in Romania?
The $8k purchase is for the future when 100% full self driving is actually available
16:04 Seems like it read the red light on the overpass above you as a signal you blew through
Yup, pretty sure that’s what happened.
good eye!
Omg this video gives me so much anxiety lolz
Really enjoyed this video Ryan (and all your videos for that matter). I just got my Model Y with FSD delivered a few weeks ago but I don' have the huevos to do what your 'e doing. So thank you for taking the risk and showing us all the challenges Tesla's FSD is facing. Great job buddy and stay safe.
Thank you! I really needed to see this. The ability of a Tesla to handle highway drive from entry to exit drive is what I wanted to see. Great video!
I think your autopilot videos show the real life situations better than any I’ve seen on TH-cam! Great job!
“I can just imagine it will be worse in other places in the world” my guy ur sooo wrong, traffic in Europe is waaaay better
Yeah I imagine some places are way better, and some are worse
I lived in Germany for 20 years and I have to agree most places are great. For instant in Germany entering and exiting the highways are always the same (might be a few exceptions) in the US we have all kinds of crazy intersections.
I am also a bit surprised by the reptile driving behaviour from some of the drivers in LA.
you have not seen places like Cairo Egypt or bangladesh
I live in Tehran and I can't believe people in LA drive pretty much the same like here, I thought it is only a third world issue!
Dude, you do awesome, useful videos.
That scares me as I watched. I guess you know you can always take control immediately. But just watching feels stressful.
Hoping/expecting it'll improve as time goes by.
YOU NEED TO BE IN MAD MAX MODE BOSS 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Exactly!
AGGREED
Elon literally dubbed it “LA traffic mode”
MAD MAD MAD MODE AND LET AUTOPILOT HONK
As always Ryan, great video. It is hard to imagine a tougher place for auto pilot than the LA freeways during heavy traffic.
Interesting video! Although it's been nearly 15 years since I was in the States, I lived in SoCal for more than half a century and so am very familiar with the LA freeway system. You did a good job of showing how autopilot is learning to cope with the system, and it was easy for me to understand the difficulties. Thanks!
The Hollywood stretch of the 101 with the fast no-slack drivers is a blood pressure raiser for sure, (no shortage of things to keep your eyes on). What a test you gave the Tesla, during the first lane change attempt to get lined up for the 110 split. Good video. Thanks.
Even the M3 didn’t let you in, wow
I said the exact same thing. Thought Tesla owners might help each other out.
For a second I thought you were talking about a BMW M3 😂
Nobody "let's you in" here. Especially in DTLA, you either take it or you're stuck
@@anthonysalama7945 BMW is dead.
Blaise Ayika 💯
Maybe put up a sign says "Self-Driving in Demo" so people won't be so pissed off.
then it wouldn't be a realistic drive because people would be too helpful - I think
BMW has a solution for this, where a blue light will start blinking at the middle dashboard to notify other drivers that you are in Autonomous Driving Mode. But L.A. drivers are just aholes what can I say.
@thinkabout right now AP is like a student driver. Most driver dont read right away. So it still be realistic in most cases. It will be a bit more forgiving and avoid road rage.
@rho y. Who would know what that light is for? I wouldnt if you didnt tell me.
@@hansenluu Once Autonomous Driving become more common. It's only a practical solution to have that signal to make others more aware. But who knows, maybe FSD will become so good, they will not need it in 3-4 years.
Great videos Ryan, I watch all your videos And I love don’t have a Tesla. Keep up the great work .. Bet it works better in rural roads like where I live in Coastal South Carolina 👍
Love your videos Ryan! With the specific intricacies of LA freeways and the multitude of Teslas on the road in Southern California, Tesla should program an "LA Mode" for Autopilot. Make it a generally more aggressive form of driving to adapt. Enjoying my MYP Stealth in West LA!
I've had my model Y for a couple weeks and use AP as much as I can. One of my biggest fears / concerns with this feature is getting rear ended. Like you said, its become a habit to look in the rearview mirror when AP starts slowing down. As time goes on I'm sure they can work out these kinks but as of 2020, really gotta be careful of phantom breaking and just breaking in general. A little too harsh / quick for the humans behind to react lol. Great video btw!!
Looks like there is a traffic light facing your direction in the top left at 16:04. It's the light for the exit ramp. This also matches what's on-screen with it being at the top left.
Great video. It's always great to see how it handles imperfect situations.
Definitely don’t miss those frwy! Great video.. Brings back “great” memories . 👍
Fantastic video Ryan! I appreciate that there is no circumstantial chit chat like some channels e.g. Dirty T..
I liked and appreciate your review. Very real and honest review.
Man I love these videos, you definetly film and edit them super well. I haven't seen anyone shoot Tesla videos with a mixture of two interior perspectives PLUS a 360° camera on top. That is so cool! Gets me really hyped up about Giga Berlin, haha! (I live in Germany)
So far it is the best Tesla test video I have ever seen. Very insightful, and professional !
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Super helpful video! I live in Salt Lake City where drivers are also very aggressive. Been trying to decide whether I want to upgrade FSD. This helped a lot.
He had it on average mode which is wrong for LA traffic. I always have it on Mad Max mode and it works great.
Thank you, very informative video
Good video, found perfect oportunities to improve.
I really enjoy these vids especially this style.😃
This was fascinating to watch. I'm in LA and know all of these spots all too well. I'm usually too afraid to even use my Autopilot so this was helpful and nerve wracking all at once! lol
Thank you for training the network
Awesome video Ryan! I nolonger live in L.A. but I know all those freeways. L.A. has some of the oldest freeways i.e. 110. 10 to the 110 and vis-versa are supper cray.
Glad you did the test so people can understand the capabilities of the platform. Its there to assist you but definitely not ready for prime time.
Sometimes AP works phenomenally and other days it does some dumb shit. If anything take home message is that the software will releave some of the stree but one should always pay attention.
Best car ever!
I watch all the commercials ALL the way through so it can help you. Thanks for your videos! Keep em' coming Ryan!
Haha thanks! I appreciate it. Thanks for the support!
I agree that one of Autopilot's biggest shortcomings is stopping way too fast for stopped cars. Thankfully, they seem to have improved the acceleration at green lights after a red.
Very in-depth! 😊 good job!
You need to put it into mad max mode for more aggressive lane changes which you need in the worse parts of this video
To me... This is your best video so far!!
Totally agree with you, my model 3 auto pilot brakes way too hard and abruptly, I even tried changing the setting from 3 car lengths away from the car in front of me to 4 but it still accelerates so fast and slams on the brakes in stop and go traffic. Hope that gets fixed in an update later on!
@5:30 to make sure you don't kick yourself out of auto pilot mode, instead of applying pressure on the steering wheel, just scroll the volume or the speed limit roller on the steering wheel up/ down for a second. It does the trick. I recently drove over 800km while doing that on auto pilot (not FSD) on a really long road trip.
Great video!
Hi Ryan, great video. Try picture in picture for 360 deg camera on top and swap them instead of hard cuts if possible. Appreciate your hard work.
Thank you! It is almost like the car needs to be labeled "Student Driver" for LA drivers to give the car a little room to learn.
I was going to ask suggest him to put up a sign. "Self Driving: Demo"
Nah...you the driver should have used Mad Max mode in LA traffic. I use it and had no issues with the different interchanges.
16:07 maybe it was the traffic light on the overpass above you. Just a thought 🤔
Thanks for this video. I recently upgraded to Fsd. Took a drive with my wife on NoA. She definitely was not happy with the car not being able to anticipate other vehicles. Similar to you a truck had it’s indicator on trying to change lanes and my car keep going the speed and didn’t slow until it realized the truck had crossed the dotted line. Also there is a couple ramps where my lane ends and joins another lane from a different ramp and my car rides the lane all the way till the end then just crosses over with no indication. I definitely think mapping is a problem for Fsd and with that approved it would solve a lot of the headaches of it
Very interesting breakdown of the current state of play. It'd be cool to see you run the same route semi regularly to see the improvements over time. I guess as it gets better and better the videos will get shorter and shorter 😇
Its an incredibly good system, with a lot to learn , great videos , more please 🙏
Very good content. Also appreciate the work involved in editing, etc.............
Thanks! Much appreciated. This was definitely a long edit haha
I really like the 360 camera view, so cool
16:00 @Ryan Shaw My guess is that it sees the traffic lights on top of the overpass. Glad you pointed out the phantom braking issue because I'm thinking of getting a Model Y but have been wondering about the phantom braking.
Terranwolf - None of the phantom braking (PB) examples Ryan talked about were real head-bobbers (extreme braking to avoid metal-to-metal).
And by the time you’d get a Y (since you haven’t ordered one yet), AI will be much better (PB going on then will be about hard-scape, not some mythical red light at 10:00 high...) Also, as many other comments mentioned, intense rush-hour FSD calls for “Mad Max” mode (shudda ben called, “Intense Mode” - Elon needs to get a li’l more Sirius about traffic safety, esp. when working w/ Germany).
As for what was going on w/ Ryan, it’s psychology: E.g., “Phantom braking is what you do when I’m riding shotgun and look up after you braked - and DON’T see anything...” That’s what Ryan’s experiencing w/ the majority of the PB cases in the video, cuz he’s multitasking to make this video.
Look at his eyes when he’s narrating - he’s as distracted as if he was on a call w/ his wife who has to go to school again cuz Harold hit a kid for laughing at his name - you’ll see him being pulled back to ea. braking instance he wasn’t paying direct attention to.
In industrial work situations, the company safety/workers comp guy wouldn’t let him continue doing these videos w/o assistance (FSD or not).
That first slow down with that truck behind you was actually good.... You keep your distance in traffic... That's how you lol traffic jams... I cruise like that in traffic and eventually everyone else notices "hey he's not hitting his brakes every 5 seconds" lol
Ryan - excellent video. Still a way to go until we have true FSD, but videos like yours provide valuable insight to the AI folks at Tesla. I wonder how much more improvement we are going to see in FSD prior to the release of the total rewrite to leverage the latest chip set. Keep up the good work.
Why the phantom breaking happened - The traffic light was on up and to the left there. On the bridge. You can see the lights on the screen actually resemble where the lights are (look in the top left of the wide view). It just didn't realize that the traffic light was above it, not in front of it, for a second.
No doubt, LA's traffic is the ultimate test of any self driving system. When Tesla's Autopilot and FSD can pass LA's traffic test then it will be ready for deployment everywhere in the U.S.
Congested traffic is just one type of hazardous driving. It also needs to prove itself in bad weather conditions such as snow-packed roads, blizzards, and high winds; on poorly-maintained roads with potholes; on lanes shared with bicycles, and suburban streets where pedestrians are crossing or children playing.
@@linemanap some place in India is one of the worst !!
Given the comments here to use Mad Max mode cuz it was 💯 successful on the freeways, FSD is ready now. If you do a lot of on-the-road driving & plan to keep the car 8 years, you’ll only pay $80 a mo.for a real benefit in stress relief.
Was really planning to buy a Tesla Y for the morning LA commutes from SB. Thanks for showing the Tesla autopilot still has a bunch of kinks, especially vs LA drivers.
You're a brave man to be doing this 😂
A 360 camera on the hood makes it look like a far more dangerous drive that it really is.
It's necessary though. I like that he's doing this.
The autonomous driving software will just keep getting better and better and better over time with there upgrades, so there's no worry really, the beautiful thing is is that you can upgrade by a touch of a button. It's amazing. Tesla rules!!!
I loved this vid! Hopefully you will redo this once the autopilot rework gets done. Also it would be awesome to see a year over year thoughts vid
Thanks! And yeah I hope the rework comes soon enough, and it’s clear enough to do a comparison!
Ryan Shaw - @16:00, it was the red light on the overpass. The "Phantom Braking" almost always happens because it thinks that it is on the other road being crossed over/under. I'm almost 98% sure of it.
Nerves of steel doing this in your brand new Model Y! 😎
I've noticed when setting the Follow Distance in heavy traffic improves when set to 1 (close and response). Thanks Ryan.
Thank you! And yeah I actually had it at a following distance of 1
Bro, awesome content! Nice analysis of FSD from August! How's it run now?
Great video. Glad I’m not buying FSD yet. I’m wondering why Tesla doesn’t use maps in conjunction with cameras to anticipate stop signs, etc. Also, did I hear it’s getting rid of the use of radar and limiting to just using cameras?
Appreciate all your good reports on the car I’m about to take delivery, I’m more than happy to use auto pilot but I’ll stay away from full self driving until it’s perfected more, they do tell you when you want to buy the car that is still in beta it’s not completely perfected
Super interesting video. I always thought NoA in the US is ahead of NoA in Germany. But it looks pretty much the same. I experienced the same situations like you
very in-depth! 👍
Hahah - that is why I had a motorcycle when I lived in LA. Got to miss the 210, 405 and 10 freeway!
Great video. The bonus is, every time you took over, a report was generated for Tesla to review and get better.
Still not sure whether to include FSD with my MoY. Still seems pretty far to go, although perhaps less congested highways it might be more relaxing and enjoyable.
Looked nerve wracking. I've gathered there's a lot of Teslas on the road there in CA, had no idea that many though.
Off the 10 west exit on Fremont and valley you’ll see a very good pizzeria called Victoria’s. Great video.
I’ve watched every one of your videos and am subscribed. It has been interesting to see your evolution over time as you’ve had more time with your car and become more confident with your video production skills too.
I must say, at this point it feels like you are maybe a few/handful videos away from posting about how you decided to sell your Tesla. Am I misreading things?
On a 10 scale, where are you in terms of satisfaction with your car and overall experience as an owner?
Thanks for watching, and the kind words! I’m surprised you’d say that, since I’ve been pretty clear in my review videos that this is the best car I’ve ever driven. I have no plan to sell this car. I’m probably 8/10 for my satisfaction. Autopilot wasn’t as good as I expected when I ordered, but I still love it, and fit and finish was worse than I expected as well
i've noticed phantom breaking with Nav on AP when 1) bright sunlight blinds the front cams 2) flashing yellow crossings with a sign that has a stoplight printed on it 3) passing thru a section where an overpass may have a stoplight on it above/near me (as if the computer knows geographically that there should a stoplight at my location) or 4)....for no obvious reason that I could discern.
I’ve heard that sometime it brakes for overpass shadows. I’ve had some AP (not FSB) occasions where that seemed the reason, but it’s not consistent.
My car will sometimes cycle the windshield wipers for overpass shadows.
Haha I was always wondering why my car would randomly do that on the 5, but now I know why!🤣
Nice content 👍🏼
Wow, it seemed like it did an amazing job given the conditions. It will only get better over time. I use FSD all the time and you definitely learn over time what it’s strengths and weaknesses are and you know when to be extra ready to take over. It really is at teenager on learner’s permit level but that in itself is pretty damn amazing.
This type of honest review is great because anyone that jumps in a Tesla expecting it to fully drive itself is going to be both disappointed and in danger. Great video!
Just curious if the distance in stop and go is affected by the car length distance setting? Do you have it set for like 7 car lengths and is that why it was leaving such a large gap? Also: love your channel. Lived in SoCal for 12 years and used to reverse commute from Studio City to Pasadena so I've enjoyed seeing the old areas!
"The road marking are really terrible in LA" - then calling Autopilot is just totally miss-leading, its an auto/driver assist facility that may be the best auto/driver assist on the market but it is years away from being anything close to autonomous driving. Poor road marking, hazards, poor weather, emergency vehicles, road works, broken down vehicles are common everyday problems, poor road markings are probably among the easiest hazard to cater for.
Thank you for writing down the software version. It is almost irrelevant for an autopilot video without mentioning the version. Hope you mention the version in the video commentary.
16:04 actually I think it was the weird fence on the bridge with the bright sky/sun behind which might have tripped AP in thinking that there's a traffic light.
16:26 that maneuver was totally fine. The lane split and the car was indicating it was going to use the left one.
Well done. I know the drive very well.
Interesting content as the technology evolves. If you were configuring an MY today would you consider upgrading to FSD?
I would, but if I wasn't making content with it, I probably would hold off until there was more functionality.
Great video! Must've taken you forever to edit! What 360 camera did you use? It's much better than the gen 1 Samsung 360 that I have. I also found it interesting how many times you were around other Tesla's while trying to merge
Yeah it did haha. I used the GoPro Max: amzn.to/2BhxNBy
Very informative video, I know this route and it was good to have your back camera view. I’m in the market for a Tesla and not sure this version of auto~pilot is worth the 8k price tag?
If you’re only in the market, the Tesla you’d buy will not have his version. It’ll be at least the current Beta w/ updates for what was learned by AI in the meanwhile, esp. by the expert drivers now using it.
@@mikemccarthy1638 Is there an EV that has better AI should take a look at?
I'm curious what mount you're using for your 360 camera on the exterior of your car. Seems pretty secure!
There were some traffic lights on the overpass. Autopilot must have seen them and the shadow and "thought" it was an intersection.
This happens to me all the time!
Or maybe it read that from the map data not realizing the road went under the other one rather than being an intersection?
True, and Tesla will have to learn to exclude that while on freeway.
suggest enabling the onscreen camera views for rear and sides, during your video shoot interior, so we can see the cars around at the specific moments.
Ryan you should redo the same route after the architectural update of FSD that Musk just talked about coming in a few weeks?
Also that phantom breaking around 16:00 could have been the above upper left traffic light or the lattice work in the overpass with the sun could have seemed like a red light (maybe?). Umm....L.A. traffic looks horrific and if Tesla can get it right there, it should be flawless almost anywhere. Nice work!
You should try the same test it’s a put the car in mad max mode. It’s more aggressive and it’s driving from what I’ve seen.
Autopilot with stop light and stop sign detection can be confused when the traffic light is above on an over pass or below on a lower level. This can cause phantom braking for a traffic light above or below the car.
Nice video. Can you try interchange going 405 N to 118 W and then 118 E to 405 S? It will not work correctly and will miss both interchanges.
Yeah I have the standard “self drive” that came with my Model 3 and I hardly use it. There are a few reasons.. first, it can be down right scary! Second, there is a lot of phantom braking, third the constant trying to get up to freeway speed in stop and go traffic.
User error, read the manual idiot
Love your video! The title says Tesla Autopilot, but you're actually using full self driving, correct? I wonder why it's not mentioned in the title. LA freeway driving is definitely one of the ultimate tests on FSD. Would you share what setting you had for following distance in Autopilot as well as the auto lane change mode (mild? mad max?) Different settings could have caused different behaviors in traffic. My Model Y has FSD also, but living in northern CA won't give me that many chances to do such tests on FSD. Besides, I don't have your bravery either. :-)
