I love that you're using metric units still in the U.S.
Maybe turn Mad Max mode off to eliminate all of the ridiculous lane changes.
@Chris Watkins yeah I think it's just predicting the faster lane in route
Exactly, Mad Max ONLY impacts how many "overtaking" lane changes the car tries, it doesn't impact the execution of lane changes. So it actually hinders thoughtful planned changes. If different lanes actually move at different speeds Mad Max can help you move faster, but when the traffic moves at more or less the same speed it is counterproductive.
Yeah, I think it's definitely Mad Max mode doing these crazy lane changes.
So you selected mad max and then complain that it drives like mad max? 😂
Maybe you're the issue here. Select mild and it drives like a human.
Lost viking in LA 😂
Bjorn you're a natural and made me smile and chuckle throughout. Thanks.
I can not believe that you came to Los Angeles to make a video. i was less than 15 minutes from you during the freeway autopilot test. Good video as always. Thank you and will watch you even more. Just subscribed a month ago.
Nice to meet Bjorn yesterday. One of EVs most helpful promoters, he has answered almost everybody’s questions. Let me tell you, getting a potential energy kinetic energy lesson in the parking lot was the best part for me. I may have been smiling during a physics lesson for the first time. In true Bjorn fashion he Ended up dissing the 3 with a rain video haha 😂
The AP actualy did very well.
Really really impressive can't wait to see the difference the neural chip will make
All brakeings and accelerations you mentioned are either because of a vehicle on the side while merging or because of GPS data, because you're on an overpass.
The Tesla first brakes there to make sure it's slow enough and then uses vision to determine if it can speed up a little.
Mad Max mode is like a fury driver.
I think that Autopilot evaluate the blink signals. But in normal driving I never drive in the right most lane in proximity of a junction. For me this is safe.
Good to see AP in the wild. I see it does need more work but hopefully all the datapoints from more model 3s will accelerate its improvement
You selected mad max mode and complaining about aggressive lane changes? What do you expect :)
Car is making aggressive lane changes because you have it in Mad Max mode?
These are the best in depth videos I've found on Tesla's!
Maybe redo this ride with a different mode than Mad Max to see if you have less ridiculous lane changes ?
Another Great Norwegian Viking
video! Better than Netflix! Thanks Bjorn!
Great video, Bjorn! Been dying to see a review like this on NOA for a while!
A n Asian Wiking in LA, I like your videos and comments, also about the German way of driving. Very well done, looking for more.
In Belgium, the rule is that you must always be on the most right lane possible, and it's forbidden to overtaken from the right, unless there is a traffic jam and the left lane(s) are stucked. So it's really country dependent.
Great series of model 3 videos. This looks about the same as driving around Vancouver, Canada. Everyone drives in whatever lane they fancy and at whatever speed they feel like, ignoring speed limits and road signage indicating left lane only for passing. Seems like "mad max" navigate on autopilot drives pretty normal for north america. Picking up my model 3 next week, looks like I'll blend right in driving on autopilot, LOL.
Actually it did an excellent job with auto pilot on Nav. It detected a car ahead of you even though you didn’t realize it was going to change lanes before you even noticed and you questioned why it decided to change lanes and go back to the right lane because it knew before you. Why would it slow down at every lane change signal? That means you would have to slow down and let everyone go, whether they decide to go or not. Not a good idea to be slowing down for every lane change signal as you may have noticed they actually didn’t know where they were going and changed their mind. It’s like Autopilot detected the car wasn’t changing lanes even though they had signal on temporarily. You first said that you would be more aggressive and then you said you’d be more defensive. If you really think about it, the auto pilot did an excellent job in the entire video. Thank you so much for making this great video showing the amazing progress of Tesla Autopilot. Also thanks for admitting when you make a mistake since you are human. Drive like a local lol 💜 it. U got it. I’m a big fan and appreciate your dedication in making all your videos. Peace out ✌️
You can activate Navigate on autopilot whenever you want, even before entering the Highway/Freeway. It only works on these roads.
3:48 to answer your question: No, the car doesn't yet recognize turn signals and that's why it doesn't react in these kind of situations (it's in the works, though). And also doesn't recognize brake light, but it doesn't need to as they are just for humans who otherwise have a hard time to see the exact speed (and if it is braking) otherwise. Also to warn some unattentive drivers. Computers and cameras don't really need them as a help.
22:23 it’s blinking so that it tells people that you are going that side not the other side
wow, amazing, autopilot + tesla is the future.
Rambling on autopilot 👍
Have you tried electric blankets while camping in a car? Looks like a good way to keep warm and spend less energy!
A Thing which can be annoying is that the Car Blinks before checking if a lane change is possible. It can be confusing for other drivers
At 17:54 the car is taking over because the car in front is slower so goes to the left lane and then comes back to the original line.
23:38 yes you got it, AP is in beta... why are you wondering about that? You should know, you have to confirm a long text stating this before you enable it. Nav on AP is not different.
It works very well, im surprised!
Correction: right on red is allowed in SOME states in the US when not otherwise prohibited (such as by signage) and only in some circumstances. You should always check the local regulations :)
In US they also have left turn exception, white word sign next to red light, that means you can turn left on red light if nobody is coming.... Very weird, i don't drive as much as some people, i've only used vehicles from Fort Myers FL to San Francisco CA and i noticed this only in one place.
Hi Bjørn. I like lost vikings... Especially the game in the past of the Amiga 😉. Nice video. I agree with you. Autopilot must learn stay right on german autobahn, otherwise Tesla became some more haters 😁😉.
You don't need to be hyper aware of the right lane. Yeah if you notice yourself, go ahead and switch over, however locals don't exactly follow this at all.
No Bjorn, you can't cruise at any speed you like in the right lane, maybe in LA, but in the rest of the country you will get a ticket for hogging the left lane.
Impressive roads you got over there! Is it normal that the Traffic Lights are so far away from your "stop point"?
Yes, they put them in middle or across intersection for visibility, i'm from Europe, i personally like it. So far in 2 decades i've seen twice somebody turn left and didn't finish turn because of the red light for cars from right, haha, other then that it seems to work good
@@tallll70 I think, the visibility is really a good point to do it the "US way" - But I think, i will need some time to get used to it :)
You chose madmax mode, expect autopilot driving like a mad American
Turn off MAD MAX to avoid aggressive Lane changing.😲😲😲
What version is that Model 3 on Bjorn? I'm on 48.2 and it definitely does get out of the passing lanes.
Who’s the boss? Yeah autopilot is the boss.
California is super lax about left lane etiquette, whereas Nevada and most other states have left-lane laws enforced and keep right except to pass.
Biggest pet peeve is when a Californian drives in Nevada. 🙄
16:05 But this is ‘merica - the land of the free! You can be in whatever lane you want😎😄
Love rambling video’s
Can you test a Model 3 without purchased AutoPilot to show the standard safety / assistance features?
Das Tesla ist nicht gut! 😜You are absolutely right. This has to be like this in Germany/Europe. But should be very easy to program.
18:40 i bet the sensors predicted that the left lane will be going to faster. And bc you had mad max enabled it switched the lane
Too much control. How would it deal with temporary road works and lane closures.
It would be nice to see whether the mad max mode is responsible for the lane changes or by default it is set to choose the faster moving lane. Anyway it seems to handle most of the situations well.
Mad Max mode is responsible for the excessive lane changes.
Who’s the boss? Yeah autopilot is boss.
Good video!
What's your preferred follow distance? Any difference from Optimus or another S? How often do you you adjust it normally?
Phantom braking isn't fun. I hate it. It happens more than it should. Mad Max is crazy
The one I requested
You drive NoA in Mad Max mode and then you’re complaining it change lanes like Mad Max.
My goodness, those streets are wide as Hell and designed only for cars. I'm a confident cyclist, but these streets are dangerous. No wonder America has a driving problem.
@youtubeShadowBan Yes, America has a car-centric land use and planning model which gave birth to the suburbs and sprawl. LA is king of that excess. 50+ years of transportation research and data show that wider roads induce people to drive faster and more recklessly while paying less attention. This is why the Interstate Highway System has unnecessary turns on all its routes: to force people to pay attention. LA is actually a great city for cyclists. Check out Phil Gaimon's channel.
Gordon Chaffin way to conclude how one city is a representation of America.
@@ethanrichie7022 I'm a transportation reporter and policy expert. I grew up in Michigan near Detroit. My dad's spent 30 years in the auto industry. I know what I'm talking about. Thanks for your encouragement.
Gordon Chaffin American roads differ all around. You don’t need to be an expert to notice some roads are worse/better than others. Just 20-30 miles away from Hawthorne (start of the video), you have Newport Beach, Irvine, etc. Cities that have wider roads for both motorists and cyclists alike.
i would really like to see a "retake" of this video with a more conservative/defensive mode .. not in mad max mode ^^
i fear that the answer is no for the time beeing, but does the autopilot stop at a red light if left unsupervised ?
(i know it could just come with an update but till then i want to know ^^)
Doesn't the navigation system give spoken directions?
Chris L Yes it does. He must have turned off the sound.
You do not need to blink unless you need to cross a lane marking. So merging lane does not require.blinker.
😊👍
Its so hilarious when you speak german 😂
I think it worked pretty well. Obviously it needs more refining. I like your rambling videos. You should have talked about referral program and when those #astard$ are going to get you your cars you won :)
You’re in L.A., no one use blinkers in L.A. 😂
Seems to have firm suspension?
Navigate on Autopilot will be too easy in Europe than in USA because there is one rule to overtake. In USA they are free to overtake.
It will be funny in Europe when a car in the right most lane will pass (not overtake) a car in the center lane. This is not forbidden.
Does Optimus have NAV on AP?
Nope is an ap1 car.
I like the m3 really. But this one display thing is a bullshit. Why not a HUD for so an expensive car as option to pay ?
Does it stops self on red lights?
Stopping at red lights will come later this year, it doesn't do it right now.
haha in LA we drive like Mad Max: At least the verbal minority that complained to Tesla that they weren't going fast enough do.
hehe 10:43 sry i have no money, i drive tesla :P
I think, That the fact that there is no drivers instrument cluster on the Model 3 maybe a big problem for UK drivers? 1st because driver expect to see one? 2nd under UK road traffic law, a driver must maintain 100% concentration on the road ahead for safe driving. To make sure you do so, all the main use controls are set up on levers around the steering wheel so you can operate any of them without taking your hands off the wheel and the speedo and fuel etc. are in your view just below the windscreen, so you only have to quickly glance down to see the speed? Now people have replied when I said about the speed display being off to the left ( in UK models ) and down below the dash, that it not a problem to look off and down to see the speed? I think it is a big problem? If a person who has driven in a normal ICE car for some years here in the UK and has gotten used to the speed display being up on the dash area and behind the steering wheel. They are going to find it hard to get used to looking down and to the left to see the speed. And I would think the road law would say that would be as the law stands now as Illegal. As this would take your attention away from the windscreen view! now that maybe for a couple of seconds? But even 2 or 3 seconds of that would mean you not seeing that child run out or the mad car driver in front driving like a fool. And bam you hit them. Ok this EV has sensors and emergency braking! But that is not a perfect system and the law ( now ) state you are the driver so you must be focused on the road ahead for just that reason? Now the UK DVLA law on this may change to allow for this type of EV? But I don't think it will that fast. So this begs the question? will this lack of a drivers cluster stop the sale of the Model 3 at least until the UK road laws on this change?
I guess all the Toyota Prius's are breaking the law.
Bjørn, more German please. 😂
You're in America keep your tach in mph
Okay okay jean-pierre-smartypants
Rykahnz Model 3 does real time conversion to metric if it detects mph speed limit, so all speed limits are correctly displayed
