Understandably you are far more picky about vid quality particulars than any of us viewers. I have to struggle to discern the detail changes you are referring to typically.
@aidrivr The AI's cautiousness, perceived as poor driving, might actually be its anticipation of unpredictable events, like other drivers speeding or breaking laws. It sensibly drives slower than average humans, who often disregard these potential risks. So, I wouldn't put to much emphasis on people honking because you're driving slow.
One thing to add to the Ai is that if it learn where the marking are. Or it has a built in map and from there it shows everything to which he gain its logic.
Your editing is constantly getting so much better. The perfect combination of dashboard and interior camera views, the yellow arrows with sound effect, the slow-motion replays, and the seamless transitions between outside and inside views are obviously a ton of work but really improve the production value. And yes, I like the wide-angle view, and yes, I like the intervention counter, and yes! Add a honk counter.
one of my biggest peeves i spot in this video is the red blinkers, it just pisses me the hell off as its so hard to tell if you have them on, why not just use orange blinkers?
@@justacasualguy13 Totally agree. All the new models from like 2018-20 are using same color lights for blinkers as they use for brakes. Very confusing and annoyting. Totally get you and I'm surprised how government passes these laws
The new aspect ratio is actually better for most smartphones nowadays, because most of them are 20:9 or 21:9 now. As a 20:9 smartphone user I must say that the 2:1 ratio is the best, because it just barely doesn't cover the front camera notch, which is perfect. Also the intervention counter is amazing, binaural audio is more immersive and has a lot of potential. Good job, keep it up.
You still have the highest quality fsd testing conent there is! I follow you for a long time now, 5th earliest patreon and I still appreciate every video you upload. Great job!
btw, i always love how you wait until there's a dull moment in the driving to mention things not directly related to the driving, like the video format for example. You never spend too much breath on those off-topic subjects and get RIGHT back to the driving commentary. perfect! speaking of the formatting, I didnt notice it and dont mind it.
Drawing a line between navigation by route and nav by vision is very impressive. I wonder if it can figure out other ways to nav like using landmarks or highway signs.
Video resolution looks fine. Didn't notice really until you mentioned it. Honk counter sounds good. Also, would love to see a heart rate monitor. It would be interesting to track your stress level that way across multiple versions of FSD Beta.
21:19 I think you missed it, but that approach does have a yield sign, but oddly far back from the intersection. So it is not a completely uncontrolled intersection. FSD definitely should have yielded there.
I will add my voice to the choir: I only watch other FSD video's because of the unprotected left progress (yes, that one) and the others getting new versions earlier. But your vids are next level, it takes you a lot of work, I know, but you give us _exactly_ what any FSD follower want. The highs and the lows, the personal and the factual, and your technical skills just adding value to the content.
Been watching as many FSD videos as I can for the last 2 yrs and your videos are by far the best in terms of editing, insightful commentary and video shots. Thumbs up from a Canadian FSD-beta tester! Thank you!
The binaural audio sounds great when it's not clipping, and the 2:1 aspect ratio gives your video a dramatic quality. The counter is a good idea. Definitely some well deserved honks this drive. Your videos do a great job at documenting the changes in each release. Thank you for your hard work!
This was an EXCELLENT video. One of the best I've watched. Very informative and very clear, visually. I have no problem with this format. Thanks for your effort.
Never even noticed the resolution change till you mentioned it, I don't mind it as no important info is missing and the top and bottom of the video wouldn't be showing the road anyway which is the most important part
I still go back and watch the old FSD Beta videos to remind myself of our progress over the past couple of years... Its genuinely magical seeing the whole journey from boxes, goofy road mapping, and fighting a war doing unprotected left-hand turns to what we have today... Cant wait for part 2 and all the future videos... 😀😀
wdym Our progress? Is this fsd system the official Tesla version that got an update or is this some community driven developement improving on the official version? (just stumbled upon this video, I can't tell by the comments)
I was looking forward for a video from you every hour since the new version of FSD has been released. You simply make the BEST FSD videos among all Beta testers out there. I know you had some tough times before, so i am extremely thankful that it at least seems you're doing much better and that you decided to continue making Beta-Videos. Big big shot out to you, these videos are awesome. I love your commentary, your visualisations, your 3rd person camera on the car, showing also some more boring sections of the drive so that we can get a good feeling on how good FSD already is, just everything is perfect. Keep up that great work!
I took time to think this over while washing dishes; you should be getting paid a handsome penny for imparting confidence in the system as you do. That has be selling the software for Tesla. Always candid about shortcomings, but at the same time demonstrating in a challenging environment how far Tesla's engineers have brought this ADAS. Aside from that, it's great to see the assertiveness that's been reached, it points to real progress. Finally, let's get you to 1M Subscribers!
The turn signals really need to be fixed. I had someone cut across my driving path because they thought I was turning but really I was going straight. Improper use of turn signals can cause accidents.
… I think it’s more interesting to have the new audio, the way you have it in this video. No problem. And no need to apologize left and right all the time. You’re doing a superb job!
Im a new viewer (fan) and just wanted to say how much I appreciate all the effort youve put into this recording setup. By far the best one out there and your full commentary takes it to the next level. You have by far the best content of your kind.
With all the bad press SF has been getting lately it’s nice to be reminded of how gorgeous The City can be. Lived there in the 70s and always glad for a reason to be back. Thanks for virtually transporting me.
Fsd saw that area to the left of the Amazon delivery van as a sidewalk; it appeared to me. My favorite comment In the video was the autopilot knew the other car would stop when it made the holeshot around the delivery van at the end of the video. 😅 that's fricken awesome when we start assuming its intelligence level is that high. I let it miss an off-ramp on purpose to see how it fixed the route. My passenger looked at me like I lost my mind and said I couldn't believe you let it do that. I said I was just wondering what it was thinking. They laughed and said it was a car. It doesn't think! I laughed and said then how is it? We were still riding along while it's making every decision? I'm a robotics mechanic and everyday I except the car to be perfect in it's execution of some beautiful smooth lane change off a cliff. I feel confident ill be fine with the mistake as long as it did it well. Great video again, and I like the video sizing and layout.
Small question, do you feel safe so far while letting the car drive automaticly? I'm surprised at how consistent and decently reliable it already is (even though it's still far from finished)
Love the new intervention and disengagement counters! :) I kind of preferred the old aspect ratio but don't have strong feelings on that :) Elon said the next version should use AI for the path planner, so maybe we'll see some improvements there! :D
It’s interesting how an AI driver is essentially an automated unit tester for the San Francisco road system. It’s excellent at finding all of the road areas that need to be improved!
19:12 that's an offal snapshot to send back. Thats exactly what I would want my car to do especially in aggressive mode, as this is. can I suggest switching to normal if the intention is to match robo taxies or to have a smooth ride instead of "aggressive"
I actually like the wind noise in the background. Gives the video a nice atmosphere, kind of like you are really there. And I love the idea of a honk counter 😄
interesting point - it's a bit like AIDriver added a music track as background to the commentary, but used a "wind noise" ambient selection - one that happened to be synced to the video. Not a bad idea, really - it's less distracting than other music selections, which is useful for those of us trying to gauge FSD's progress. And still works when he has the windows rolled up in the rain! ... wind noise ambient that wasn't synced to the vid would be a fun way to mess with our minds ... 😉
these are such easy driving scenarios compared to a city like Boston. This level 2 cruise control is lightyears away from being a reliable "robotaxi". the gulf between this version and far safer than a human in all situations is monumental. And oh, cameras alone cannot see around objects. end of story.
I think currently this is a bad idea because the moment you get comfortable is most likely when it will make a mistake (as shown in this video). We are at a crossroad between bad drivers and people who are relying on technology (camera's/huds/parking sensors etc). Ironically the best time for this tech will be if/when all cars are self-driving, Because it could be programmed to optimise speed/spacing and communicate with other cars. Of course there are unpredictable things like extreme weather and animals/people walking in front without warning.
Mine keeps changing lanes incessantly even on chill mode with “minimal lane changes” enabled - it’s making good progress but don’t feel I can let it do its thing for very long yet. Today had a super fast jerk to the left out of nowhere freaked me and everyone else out. Had to take control. Still… progress.
I'd vote for a return to 16:9. The difference on phones is small an people can just punch in if they are fine with losing information. But on a 16:10 or even higher computer screen the slit-view is somewhat annoying.
When I imagine going through those streets for the first time, I'd be making much more mistakes and taking more time to make a decision. This FSD drives like a local. That's very impressive. The moment Tesla tried to change lanes in the middle of intersection was so cocky, I'd only do that being local and very confident. My mind is blown
We don't need to see empty sky, so wider aspect ratio is better in almost all cases. Since the actual camera FoV is much wider than the angle subtended by the screen when we watch, the wider aspect ratio helps the brain more easily interpret it, especially the 180deg view of the pole cam. I hate shorts on TH-cam.
To everyone watching right now. We are witnessing history in the making. Once FSD is solved we will look back and just appreciate all the work that everyone has been putting into this massive project. Great video man
13:54 That steering towards the future where the pedestrians will be is an artifact of not planning ahead, but planning for the present. Which is kinda true for pedestrians, as they can stop at any moment, so planning for the future does not work like for cars, which carry more speed and mass and *will* move forward no matter what. So there needs to be done two predictions: - Which is the path the human will take in the future? - How likely is he/she *not* further progressing in this path? If the second value is low, the car will try to *drive around* the pedestrian, predicting he/she will stop. This is important behavior for pedestrian crossings on traffic lights for example.
Slightly odd comment here: how is this supposed to adapt to other driving cultures/laws worldwide? Is Tesla expecting it to or are they going to limit which version drives where?
Self driving bèta can only be used in North America currently, and tesla adapted the software for these types of roads. I live in europe, where, as you say, driving culture and traffic rules are vastly different (in fact, I don't think EU rules even allow fsd vehicles). When fsd goes intercontinental, tesla will probably adapt the software for different types of roads.
@@lukesepter3250 Hey, thanks for explaining that! I have been watching FSD videos for over a year now but in no video ever have I heard or catched that the FSD beta is released only in North America! I always thought the beta is being tested in Europe and maybe other continents too. Well, if it's like that then Tesla will have to re-teach the beta almost everything anew when it gets released in India :)
@Sebas Tian here in the Netherlands, autopilot on highways and clear b roads is the most advanced autonomous driving we get from tesla, which is basically adaptive cruise and auto steering and auto lane switching on indicating. In that sense, tesla also doesn't have that much of a market lead here compared to other brands in self driving territory. For example, I have driven Nissans (leaf, x-trail, ariya) that performs similarly, and nissan is also able to detect roundabouts and stop-start traffic on b roads etc. in the adaptive cc and automatically adapts its speed for them. Don't know how tesla performs in that sense, and I'm also curious about the progression of tesla fsd over here. And yes I can imagine tesla will have to re-arrange a few things for Indian infrastructure😂
Pretty amazing, but still too many mistakes. Why the hell are people breaking the law? Where are the cops? 13:20 So dumb... I wouldn't even do it for views. And why they get so many views is beyond me. I hate shorts.
Seems like one of the improved visuals is human walking animations. Love the aspect ratio. Favourite thing though, is the audio - love hearing the cars pass by. Somehow the lighting is better than previous vids, too (though that might just be the time of year). Very high quality. Happy to be a Patreon!
I didn't actually notice the slim black bars on my 16:9 TV until you mentioned the change in resolution. Since the change is very minor I'd say it's ok for a while. 17:15 since you mentioned audio: I'm pretty sure you have audio channels inverted for this recording. I actually had to check if I was wearing my headphones correctly since I was hearing the left passing cars on my right ear... and the the right side passing motorcyclist at 17:15 on my left ear... The big truck pulling up to your left at 18:04 being heard on the right pretty much confirms it.
I’m really digging the aspect ratio. One of the first things I thought of when I saw it. I like it because I don’t have to fit the picture to screen and cut off the bottom of the video, this way I can see the fsd better. Thanks man.
As a German I just about died when your car just cut through the intersection ignoring the through traffic, that was insane. Guess it was mostly just following the car in front of you? Totally unacceptable ... unless you're US urban drivers, then its just another monday lol --- on the other hand, the car finding its way out of the parking lot despite completely wrong mapping data is kinda impressive! The indecisive turn signals annoy me as well, and I'm just a viewer. As for your feedback: I wouldn't even have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out - the difference is just not that large. The black bars + wide resolution are fairly common in media and movies, so it's not that big of a deal. Your editing and video structure are what's important, and you're doing it wonderfully! although it's unfortunate your camera died at the end - the outside view is a bit jittery so it's less comfortable to watch than the inside camera. Audio is fine, I like that I can hear all the stuff going on around you, more immersive that way.
Yep, you can pull it off on a motorbike when you can aim at the lanes you're turning towards before you stop and have a tonne of acceleration when the light changes, but you probably shouldn't 🤣 In all seriousness it does appear like the oncoming cars weren't paying attention, so the first driver sent it. Autopilot certainly didn't understand the nuance of the situation
By far the most entertaining content on FSD and even on youtube as a whole right now! Could the new visualisation be the Busses? At 4:40 the bus is not displayed as the usual semi!
Great job with everything you do from the editing to the commentary. As for the aspect ratio, I didn't even notice it until you said it but it perfectly fills my phone, Samsung GS9 screen
@@kempo_95 Yeah I sometimes like to wave my gf's boobs around when I'm selling lemonade too.. so yeah, if the point of the "short" videos made for mobile phone kiddie addicts is more temporary youtube cash for OP then fair enough.. :)
Watching on my 16:9 monitor: The trade-off is absolutely worth it. The wider view is much more like what you'd be trying to see while actually driving - you move your head side to side, not up and down!
Seems to me that FSD when perfected and can see in all directions and make moves that would give your average driver that can only look in One Direction a heart attack.. another word for aggressive might be confident... the biggest marker that FSD is ready for Primetime might be aggressive / confident Behavior
9:10 in true american fashion, FSD doesnt care about the right lane principle, eh? ps: 19:02 how can it decide that. The line is clearly solid. Unless an emergency avoidance, this is a no-go, is it not?
In my opinion, 16:9 is the sweet spot for TH-cam videos. It looks great on 16:9 devices like monitors or TVs but it also doesn’t have huge black bars on devices with wide aspect ratios like phones or devices with taller aspect ratios like tablets or laptops.
5:07 - Obstructed roads are steady but do cars still disappear when they drive behind another car and then reappear when they get past the obstructing car? 8:17 - Well, you do have that 3-D camera on a pole stuck to to your car. 23:07 - Maybe that Model 3 honk was just a "Hi AI Driver" honk.
By the way, the exterior camera is more suitable for intersections and areas with more cars. In contrast, the interior camera is better for small streets as it provides a clearer view of the steering wheel. This is my personal opinion, but I think it's a good idea! Also, I love yours videos!
I quite enjoy the 2:1 ratio! Great vid as always :) Edit: it would be nice if you could duck or mute the audio when the internal camera dies. Those beeps were quite high pitched and unpleasant, especially in headphones.
You do have a very distinctive plate on your Tesla so I'm not surprised people are saying hi 👍 Your veiw from in ide the car 2:1 is great and the intervention tracker.. very clear. Imo the fact that certain parts of the journey are boring is a glimpse of the future, FSD is the chauffeur that we all need for safer driving Turn signal ambiguity is a problem that needs refining for definite
ปีที่แล้ว
Haven't noticed anything different with aspect ratio watching on mobile phone, so I guess it's good if it gets you more views because you deserve it ;) Love the new counters, honk counter could be a great and funny new addition. I'm always happy to see a new video from you even thought it's "long" because I know I will watch it until the end and won't be bored even a second. Keep up the amazing work! Thank you! Best regards from Croatia :)
I really like the wider aspect ratio To be honest wouln’t it be better to upload shorts and long format videos to the same channel? And also you can use descript to make auto captions for your shorts
I can't explain why I like watching you drive about, but I do. Self driving has come a long way in such a short time. It almost feels like it got it's learners 3 years ago, and at roughly the pace of a human, has learned how to be a better driver. By now, it's really as good as someone who has been driving for a year on a full license (it's 2 years from 16 years old on learners where I live). Sure, it sucks sometimes, but so do real drivers.
It’s always a great day when you post a new video :) Regarding the shorts, other creators split a wide view into top and bottom, so for shorts you could have the visualization on the bottom half of the video and the normal view on the top? (Without overlaying the visualization) Just a thought for how to get around the handcuffs they put on you regarding the aspect ratio. Or maybe visualization paired with the third person view? Either way, your videos are amazing, keep up the great work!
Was in a Cruise car a couple weeks ago and it did the exact same left turn from Divisadero to Lombardt almost hitting a Vespa rider. Something about that intersection really messes with self driving
I love the new aspect ratio. Fits my phone 100%. Also, if you go back to 16:9 please move UI away from top/bottom as I want to zoom so my whole screen is filled and still see speed etc.
Thanks mate for your very detailed commentaries. It might be a bit overwelming for some, but I like it so much as it's so helpful for a guy with severe visual impairment like me to follow along with what's happening in the vid :)
Unless it's an especially aesthetics driven video, like animations, game or movie trailers, or things like SloMo Guys stuff, I generally watch youtube without entering fullscreen mode, opting instead for theatre mode on the browser page, and so this aspect ratio actually fills MORE of my screen than I am used to and I like it quite a bit! Also this is the first video of yours I've seen in some time, and I love what you're doing, the composition of the different camera angles and HUD stuff is really neat. If FSD was allowed here, and Tesla would pay me to test it (or yknow, at least just make it not a COST for me to do), it makes me wish I could just drive about town, giving them data to make the system better, the tech is really cool though clearly still needs more time. Speaking of, I think a honk counter is totally warranted, yeah its kind of memey but also it is legitimately valuable information, any time you force another road user to respond to your actions, there's probably something you could have done better, "you" being the AI system in this case of course.
Im on PC at 13:46 the resolution i didn't notice the two black bars at the bottom and top of video until you mentioned so yeh it don't bother me at all

Elon said the next version should use AI for the path planner, so maybe we'll see some improvements there! :D
19:52 Cool to see how early FSD turns the 3rd pedestrian blue. Almost like it senses the three are a group.
It’s interesting how an AI driver is essentially an automated unit tester for the San Francisco road system. It’s excellent at finding all of the road areas that need to be improved!
19:12 that's an offal snapshot to send back. Thats exactly what I would want my car to do especially in aggressive mode, as this is.
can I suggest switching to normal if the intention is to match robo taxies or to have a smooth ride instead of "aggressive"
I actually like the wind noise in the background. Gives the video a nice atmosphere, kind of like you are really there. And I love the idea of a honk counter 😄
interesting point - it's a bit like AIDriver added a music track as background to the commentary, but used a "wind noise" ambient selection - one that happened to be synced to the video. Not a bad idea, really - it's less distracting than other music selections, which is useful for those of us trying to gauge FSD's progress. And still works when he has the windows rolled up in the rain! ... wind noise ambient that wasn't synced to the vid would be a fun way to mess with our minds ... 😉
these are such easy driving scenarios compared to a city like Boston. This level 2 cruise control is lightyears away from being a reliable "robotaxi". the gulf between this version and far safer than a human in all situations is monumental. And oh, cameras alone cannot see around objects. end of story.
15:13 I feel like FSD should recognize signs like “Authorized Personnel Only” and ask the driver to confirm.
I think currently this is a bad idea because the moment you get comfortable is most likely when it will make a mistake (as shown in this video). We are at a crossroad between bad drivers and people who are relying on technology (camera's/huds/parking sensors etc). Ironically the best time for this tech will be if/when all cars are self-driving, Because it could be programmed to optimise speed/spacing and communicate with other cars. Of course there are unpredictable things like extreme weather and animals/people walking in front without warning.
Ngl, I kind of get why it's illegal in my country now. It's not ready yet
Mine keeps changing lanes incessantly even on chill mode with “minimal lane changes” enabled - it’s making good progress but don’t feel I can let it do its thing for very long yet. Today had a super fast jerk to the left out of nowhere freaked me and everyone else out. Had to take control. Still… progress.
this vids are always relaxing while I drink my coffee. love it
I'd vote for a return to 16:9.
The difference on phones is small an people can just punch in if they are fine with losing information. But on a 16:10 or even higher computer screen the slit-view is somewhat annoying.
When I imagine going through those streets for the first time, I'd be making much more mistakes and taking more time to make a decision. This FSD drives like a local. That's very impressive.
The moment Tesla tried to change lanes in the middle of intersection was so cocky, I'd only do that being local and very confident.
My mind is blown
I didn't think that was very cocky. If I had clear visibility and enough space I'd do it myself as a non-local.
We don't need to see empty sky, so wider aspect ratio is better in almost all cases. Since the actual camera FoV is much wider than the angle subtended by the screen when we watch, the wider aspect ratio helps the brain more easily interpret it, especially the 180deg view of the pole cam. I hate shorts on TH-cam.
To everyone watching right now. We are witnessing history in the making. Once FSD is solved we will look back and just appreciate all the work that everyone has been putting into this massive project. Great video man
13:54 That steering towards the future where the pedestrians will be is an artifact of not planning ahead, but planning for the present. Which is kinda true for pedestrians, as they can stop at any moment, so planning for the future does not work like for cars, which carry more speed and mass and *will* move forward no matter what.
So there needs to be done two predictions:
- Which is the path the human will take in the future?
- How likely is he/she *not* further progressing in this path?
If the second value is low, the car will try to *drive around* the pedestrian, predicting he/she will stop. This is important behavior for pedestrian crossings on traffic lights for example.
Would love to see a comparison video for the different aggression settings in the fsd
12:18 getting bored behind the wheel is NOT a good thing. 🤦
Means your mind isn't ON THE ROAD.
Slightly odd comment here: how is this supposed to adapt to other driving cultures/laws worldwide? Is Tesla expecting it to or are they going to limit which version drives where?
Self driving bèta can only be used in North America currently, and tesla adapted the software for these types of roads. I live in europe, where, as you say, driving culture and traffic rules are vastly different (in fact, I don't think EU rules even allow fsd vehicles). When fsd goes intercontinental, tesla will probably adapt the software for different types of roads.
@@lukesepter3250 Hey, thanks for explaining that! I have been watching FSD videos for over a year now but in no video ever have I heard or catched that the FSD beta is released only in North America! I always thought the beta is being tested in Europe and maybe other continents too.
Well, if it's like that then Tesla will have to re-teach the beta almost everything anew when it gets released in India :)
@Sebas Tian here in the Netherlands, autopilot on highways and clear b roads is the most advanced autonomous driving we get from tesla, which is basically adaptive cruise and auto steering and auto lane switching on indicating. In that sense, tesla also doesn't have that much of a market lead here compared to other brands in self driving territory. For example, I have driven Nissans (leaf, x-trail, ariya) that performs similarly, and nissan is also able to detect roundabouts and stop-start traffic on b roads etc. in the adaptive cc and automatically adapts its speed for them. Don't know how tesla performs in that sense, and I'm also curious about the progression of tesla fsd over here.
And yes I can imagine tesla will have to re-arrange a few things for Indian infrastructure😂
19:20 was uncalled for disengagement. should’ve let the car do its thing.
4 minutes in and I’m already blown away. FSD is so close. You can feel it.
Pretty amazing, but still too many mistakes.
Why the hell are people breaking the law? Where are the cops?
13:20 So dumb... I wouldn't even do it for views. And why they get so many views is beyond me. I hate shorts.
Love this aspect ratio on my widescreen monitor and phone.
Oh god! You brave brave soul. Doing this in San Francisco lol Thanks for your testing and sharing with us. Looking forward to getting my Model Y soon.
Loving the bigger screen, the trade off is worth it! (Aspect ratio)
Seems like one of the improved visuals is human walking animations.
Love the aspect ratio. Favourite thing though, is the audio - love hearing the cars pass by. Somehow the lighting is better than previous vids, too (though that might just be the time of year).
Very high quality. Happy to be a Patreon!
2 video in a week 😻, we’re blessed
5:08 Guys I think we caught the flash in action running in the right lane
I am saying this 2-4 years earlier than I thought I would say it, but: We are really getting there!
Great video, great voiceover. Thank you!
I didn't actually notice the slim black bars on my 16:9 TV until you mentioned the change in resolution. Since the change is very minor I'd say it's ok for a while.
17:15 since you mentioned audio: I'm pretty sure you have audio channels inverted for this recording. I actually had to check if I was wearing my headphones correctly since I was hearing the left passing cars on my right ear... and the the right side passing motorcyclist at 17:15 on my left ear...
The big truck pulling up to your left at 18:04 being heard on the right pretty much confirms it.
The second these cars will start communicating between each other will make self driving really reliable and effective.
I’m really digging the aspect ratio. One of the first things I thought of when I saw it. I like it because I don’t have to fit the picture to screen and cut off the bottom of the video, this way I can see the fsd better. Thanks man.
As a German I just about died when your car just cut through the intersection ignoring the through traffic, that was insane. Guess it was mostly just following the car in front of you? Totally unacceptable ... unless you're US urban drivers, then its just another monday lol --- on the other hand, the car finding its way out of the parking lot despite completely wrong mapping data is kinda impressive! The indecisive turn signals annoy me as well, and I'm just a viewer.
As for your feedback: I wouldn't even have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out - the difference is just not that large. The black bars + wide resolution are fairly common in media and movies, so it's not that big of a deal. Your editing and video structure are what's important, and you're doing it wonderfully! although it's unfortunate your camera died at the end - the outside view is a bit jittery so it's less comfortable to watch than the inside camera.
Audio is fine, I like that I can hear all the stuff going on around you, more immersive that way.
Yep, you can pull it off on a motorbike when you can aim at the lanes you're turning towards before you stop and have a tonne of acceleration when the light changes, but you probably shouldn't 🤣 In all seriousness it does appear like the oncoming cars weren't paying attention, so the first driver sent it. Autopilot certainly didn't understand the nuance of the situation
You snooze you lose.
The 2:1 ratio is awesome! I watch your videos on my phone and it is full screen now, beautiful!
22:49 Humans 🙄 Beeing honked at for turning left is probably the rudest thing I've ever seen.
The Tesla can move a lot to the left though, leaving more space for other cars to pass
or it was another fan recognizing AI Driver
@@kempo_95 how would moving over like 40 cm make any difference for the passing cars?
@@RubenKelevra You can move over a meter or 2. From kerb to kerb there is space for 3 lanes. So you can move in the middle when you turn left.
By far the most entertaining content on FSD and even on youtube as a whole right now! Could the new visualisation be the Busses? At 4:40 the bus is not displayed as the usual semi!
Great job with everything you do from the editing to the commentary.
As for the aspect ratio, I didn't even notice it until you said it but it perfectly fills my phone, Samsung GS9 screen
It's feel like GTA San Andreas
not V?
You always have great videos. I love your videos. There is no need to apologize for small things like sound quality. Thank you for your videos.
Shorts are CRAP. Please ignore. Give us the widescreen all the time. Always. Let the mobile kiddies convert the good bits if they really want.
Shorts are how you attract new people though sadly.
@@kempo_95 Yeah I sometimes like to wave my gf's boobs around when I'm selling lemonade too.. so yeah, if the point of the "short" videos made for mobile phone kiddie addicts is more temporary youtube cash for OP then fair enough.. :)
@@kempo_95 and as far as shorts go, these kind of videos are quite suitable.
I have to say, when you speed up the footage, the sound of the sped up cars passing by is really cool.
Watching on my 16:9 monitor: The trade-off is absolutely worth it. The wider view is much more like what you'd be trying to see while actually driving - you move your head side to side, not up and down!
One super important thing is the tone of your various, it's peaceful and make it appreciable to watch. Well done for the content, hard work diserved
Seems to me that FSD when perfected and can see in all directions and make moves that would give your average driver that can only look in One Direction a heart attack.. another word for aggressive might be confident... the biggest marker that FSD is ready for Primetime might be aggressive / confident Behavior
9:10 in true american fashion, FSD doesnt care about the right lane principle, eh?
ps: 19:02 how can it decide that. The line is clearly solid. Unless an emergency avoidance, this is a no-go, is it not?
In my opinion, 16:9 is the sweet spot for TH-cam videos. It looks great on 16:9 devices like monitors or TVs but it also doesn’t have huge black bars on devices with wide aspect ratios like phones or devices with taller aspect ratios like tablets or laptops.
5:07 - Obstructed roads are steady but do cars still disappear when they drive behind another car and then reappear when they get past the obstructing car?
8:17 - Well, you do have that 3-D camera on a pole stuck to to your car.
23:07 - Maybe that Model 3 honk was just a "Hi AI Driver" honk.
2:1 (18:9) looks great on my TV. Love the content and the effort you put in for your videos. Great job 👍
By the way, the exterior camera is more suitable for intersections and areas with more cars. In contrast, the interior camera is better for small streets as it provides a clearer view of the steering wheel. This is my personal opinion, but I think it's a good idea! Also, I love yours videos!
I do like the 1:2 aspect ratio as I usually watch it on my phone. Love your content man! Longer videos would be great too!
I quite enjoy the 2:1 ratio! Great vid as always :)
Edit: it would be nice if you could duck or mute the audio when the internal camera dies. Those beeps were quite high pitched and unpleasant, especially in headphones.
You do have a very distinctive plate on your Tesla so I'm not surprised people are saying hi 👍
Your veiw from in ide the car 2:1 is great and the intervention tracker.. very clear.
Imo the fact that certain parts of the journey are boring is a glimpse of the future, FSD is the chauffeur that we all need for safer driving
Turn signal ambiguity is a problem that needs refining for definite
Haven't noticed anything different with aspect ratio watching on mobile phone, so I guess it's good if it gets you more views because you deserve it ;)
Love the new counters, honk counter could be a great and funny new addition.
I'm always happy to see a new video from you even thought it's "long" because I know I will watch it until the end and won't be bored even a second. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you!
Best regards from Croatia :)
I really like the wider aspect ratio
To be honest wouln’t it be better to upload shorts and long format videos to the same channel?
And also you can use descript to make auto captions for your shorts
I can't explain why I like watching you drive about, but I do.
Self driving has come a long way in such a short time. It almost feels like it got it's learners 3 years ago, and at roughly the pace of a human, has learned how to be a better driver. By now, it's really as good as someone who has been driving for a year on a full license (it's 2 years from 16 years old on learners where I live). Sure, it sucks sometimes, but so do real drivers.
Great Video, Great Audio and visualizations.
No problem whatsoever with the aspect ratio!
Keep it going! 👌
18:48 anyone else notice the Waymo One car?
Did no one see that car at 15:58? What??? Some dangerous people out there.
It’s always a great day when you post a new video :) Regarding the shorts, other creators split a wide view into top and bottom, so for shorts you could have the visualization on the bottom half of the video and the normal view on the top? (Without overlaying the visualization) Just a thought for how to get around the handcuffs they put on you regarding the aspect ratio. Or maybe visualization paired with the third person view? Either way, your videos are amazing, keep up the great work!
Honestly I like the interface from 22:27 on much better than the overloaded stuff before.
Was in a Cruise car a couple weeks ago and it did the exact same left turn from Divisadero to Lombardt almost hitting a Vespa rider. Something about that intersection really messes with self driving
I wonder if in the future road design have to pass the ai car test before it is implemented in reality :)
I love the new aspect ratio. Fits my phone 100%. Also, if you go back to 16:9 please move UI away from top/bottom as I want to zoom so my whole screen is filled and still see speed etc.
Thanks mate for your very detailed commentaries. It might be a bit overwelming for some, but I like it so much as it's so helpful for a guy with severe visual impairment like me to follow along with what's happening in the vid :)
Cops would have a hard time telling who's AI or drunk/stupid/high if these ever hit the road large scale.
Unless it's an especially aesthetics driven video, like animations, game or movie trailers, or things like SloMo Guys stuff, I generally watch youtube without entering fullscreen mode, opting instead for theatre mode on the browser page, and so this aspect ratio actually fills MORE of my screen than I am used to and I like it quite a bit!
Also this is the first video of yours I've seen in some time, and I love what you're doing, the composition of the different camera angles and HUD stuff is really neat. If FSD was allowed here, and Tesla would pay me to test it (or yknow, at least just make it not a COST for me to do), it makes me wish I could just drive about town, giving them data to make the system better, the tech is really cool though clearly still needs more time. Speaking of, I think a honk counter is totally warranted, yeah its kind of memey but also it is legitimately valuable information, any time you force another road user to respond to your actions, there's probably something you could have done better, "you" being the AI system in this case of course.
Im on PC at 13:46 the resolution i didn't notice the two black bars at the bottom and top of video until you mentioned so yeh it don't bother me at all
I really like the wider resolution. Also wondering if all these drives are in assertive mode?
I forgot all about this channel and I'm glad I'm back because these videos are just nice to watch.
It's absolutely incredible how far Tesla has come.
