Looks like FSD performed perfectly and the driver was nervous for no reason. It's not the fault of FSD that an irrational frightened new driver thinks it's gonna crash. After you drive a few hundred miles with no interventions, you eventually get less nervous.
Truth is in the middle. No, it didn't "almost wreck". No, it didn't perform perfectly. It got way closer than necessary but it wasn't going to crash. Needs improvement but not a critical issue.
As it should would be getting ahead or behind pre-emptively, not waiting until the last second to make a decision and skirt by dangerously close. It was not going to crash but don't make the mistake of going to the opposite extreme and claim it did nothing wrong.
This was an on-ramp, so it may have been either version or may have transitioned during the incident. v12 has only been better in some places though. It's been worse for me, if anything.
Maybe it didn't merge earlier because there was a solid line where you're not supposed to cross, and when you could cross, the truck was already there, resulting in braking because there wasn't enough time to accelerate and pass the truck.
thats exactly why otherwise it would be illegal i own a tesla and i do notice it reacts almost to appropriate all of the things drivers do on the road and all the little illegal things we do as drivers like california stops and crossing over lines to merge or get over or not slowing down to let a car get in makes it harder to do its thing
I think it handled it perfectly: didn’t go beyond the speed limit, merged behind with no issue and didn’t cut off the trucks (unlike some human drivers I know)
Maybe. I think a human would have already synced up either behind or in front of the truck to merge. Fsd chose to ride right next to the truck. It seems as if fsd didn't know my lane was going to end in time.
@@Goatee_yay i can agree that FSD can do better on merging. i wouldn't judge any merging/demerging/highway capabilities right now as it is not running on a neural network architecture yet (unlike city streets)
@@danvarughese interesting perspective! I def chose to try a difficult maneuver as my first FSD engagement. Heading home from a track day at Road Atlanta.
Wow, you’re so brave. It’s amazing how it was able to slow down and avoids the truck who’s not letting you in. 😅 I watched it again and I think it made the correct move by braking and let the semi passed.
It is not the truck driver's responsibility to let him in. Merging traffic must adapt to the highway traffic, not the other way around. It had plenty of space to either get in front or behind. FSD has always been bad at on-ramps.
I test drove a model Y last week and was on FSD for an hour and went to 5 different destinations all over the city. Mostly city with a bit of highway. Only had to take over once. I was super impressed with the system. Within a year I'll bet it's driving as well as I could. Pretty amazing bit of tech.
it's usually been pretty good for me as well. anytime I've taken over is either this type of situation or leaving the interstate and it struggling to pick a damn lane.
TACC is by far the most useful assist. Autosteer is alright. I dont bother with FSD. Always pay attention. Never trust it 100%. Always be ready. Still enjoying the car though
I tend to just drive mine manually but had to try the fsd. As you can tell, I was skeptical from the jump. If I had been driving, I would have never even been in the vicinity of that semi 🤣
@@Goatee_yay Totally the same feeling here. I prefer driving, and the driving experience I get from my Model Y is wonderful. Love the car. I understand you were testing and tests like this are good to show people.
FSD performed flawlessly. This is actually a great video proving how well it works. The newest version moves over for stopped vehicles, slows down if another vehicles wheels begin to enter your lane in front of you. Mine will even begin to merge if it sees a flashing arrow sign for a construction lane closure ahead. I am continually impressed with mine on my Model Y and I now use it daily
@@Wi2Low There seems to be three types of people. Nervous people like this guy constantly afraid something will go wrong, calm people who are just ready to take over and finally idiots who turn FSD on and do everything they can to avoid paying attention.
I have taken trips out of town for the past couple of weeks using FSD and no issues. In this case it did wait a little long to get out of that passing lane but i wouldn't say it 'almost wrecked'.
Thank you for your service. As a soon to be Tesla owner you proved in one test sample that you lived through what otherwise would have been highway tragedy from a non skilled driver. I’ve been watching a few FSD videos this is one that was a very real life situation which a semi could take you out and not even know it if you aren’t paying attention on the interstate.
I use FSD 12.3.6 everyday and I am very relaxed mostly because I trust the car. I am paying attention to what the car is doing and cars around me but I am like a supportive dad to my car that is my personal driver. You did not almost wreck. If the car slammed on the breaks or swerved violently, then I might have a different take. Your video gave me moments of PTSD from my wife freaking me out as a back seat driver when I was driving in Mexico.
Mixed feelings about this: fsd seemed to get itself into trouble by merging too slowly - but I do wonder if it’s technically possibly for fsd to be unsettled by the anxiety level of the driver!
Cant tell if you expected them to be faster or slower. In Ohio, they are allowed the same speed as cars, up to 70 in deserted areas. And of course they are usually 2-3 mph over that. Occasionally you get one really rolling along at 80+.
You can feature it! But please be respectful of the fact that FSD is still learning under supervision and this was NOT a wreck. This was in Georgia. My opinion is that the FSD did not predict the end of the on ramp's lane soon enough. That caused it to ride next to the semi instead of accelerating or decelerating to geat ahead of or behind the semi.
Looks like one truck was passing another on the right. Apparently the truck driver doesn't care much about running merging traffic into the breakdown lane. I have to admit if I'm in a Model S, I would be merging faster and both trucks would have been in the rearview mirror, but NSHTA doesn't like breaking the speed limit, so I guess FSD probably handled it better. Bad though that FSD doesn't have the option. Hard to blame the Driver for acting like FSD is a crazy student driver. 😨
As soon as you enter a freeway it is no longer using the v12 neural net. I think you should do a little digging and read about exactly what they are doing and you will see where to look while using it to see how they are stepping towards the actual version that solves the puzzle. V12.4 which is the first non compute constrained training version which you will be able to use soon and is going to be 5x to 10x improved overall and not even comparable to the previous version. Everything gets better exponentially with each following release, fast forward to end of summer and robotaxi....

FSD is a much better driver then us. I use it literally every time I get in the vehicle now since V12. The thing finally works on city streets properly and for highways its been working great for years. I mean remember its not level 3/4/5/6, its level 2 ADAS so you still need to make sure it don't do anything stupid but realistically it does make drives 100x easier and less stressful. With the adoption of V12 its leaps and bounds from what it's been
A little girl's first ride on a horse is often scary until she learns to trust it. Had he been sitting in the passenger seat with someone else driving, he might not likely have raised an eyebrow. No one has said that FSD is ready. Those using the supervised testing version are doing just that.

Clearly, you were apprehensive from the very beginning, like a kid's first ride on a roller coaster. Which FSD version were you using? Why did you not start in a more relaxed traffic scenario, if you were so apprehensive? Many would be just as apprehensive in that scenario. Most I would think would come away amazed at how calm and confident the car was:-). This video and the clickbait title leave the impression that you gave up on the testing as a result of your first, perhaps overly ambitious trial. Glad to see that you survived. Wondering if you disengaged and ended that testing at the point at which the video ended. I'm a chicken, as such, I would have started in my neighborhood. I also would certainly not have used my first experience with FSD as a TH-cam video production source. I'd be too afraid of embarrassing myself. Unless of course, my intention was to demonstrate FSD in a negative light. Just sayin. My own experience with 12.3.6 has proven to be superlative.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply! I have owned the car about a year now and love it. I've been building diy evs for 2 decades now. I wanted to give it something hard! I was driving it home from a trackday so my confidence in the car was good. I am impressed with how FSD handled this but I also think it's partly to blame. I saw the semi way early and really I think it did too. We paced side by side in sync. I do not think the FSD saw the end of my lane approaching soon enough even though I definitely did. And yes I did continue on with FSD for about 20 miles until the next major highway exchange which I decided to navigate manually 😉. Thoughts on highway driving in FSD, it's rude. It ratchets over to the left lane then stays there. Etiquette (and loosely even law) says you only pass in the left lane then you move back over. Tech is early but I'm still hopeful and generally impressed. Software is v12.3.6
Ummm... I can't help but think that you really should know whether your car has (generally very capable) FSD or (little more than adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping) Autopilot before risking your life and the lives of anyone else unfortunate enough to come anywhere near you *before* you make such a silly video. I would also say that the scenario played out here must happen thousands of times a day, globally, where cars are driven by humans. Many of those crash (hence videos of them doing so all over TH-cam). No crash occurred here. So, what's your point?
It didn’t almost wreck?? That semi almost hit you ? What is self drive going to do ? Come to a complete stop on the freeway entrance? that’s on you bro don’t blame that beautiful car !
Thanks for the perspective! I've been very surprised how many people think the truck was at fault. If I had been driving manually, I would never had that issue because I would have been well in front of the truck in time. I don't think the FSD saw the end of the lane soon enough and it had to think quick. Which it did! The truck actually gives a little space right at the end. What's most surprising is manual intervention never tripped. It just kept going. Anyway I do love the car! Had it almost a year and I was on the way home from a trackday with it when this happened.
@@Goatee_yaySo was it FSD's first try or not? It seems to me that you had to have used it on the way to the track. You love the car but use such an inflammatory headline. Lol
@fparent Actually got the update downloaded on the way to the track, installed it overnight, and tried it for the first time on the way home! Just because I love the car doesn't mean I cannot be critical of it.
dont know why this video was recommended to me but the car did exactly what it was supposed to do. It was unfortunate timing that the semi was right there when you needed to merge.

It didn’t almost wreck?? That semi almost hit you ? What is self drive going to do ? Come to a complete stop on the freeway entrance? that’s on you bro don’t blame that beautiful car !
Thanks for the perspective! I've been very surprised how many people think the truck was at fault.
If I had been driving manually, I would never had that issue because I would have been well in front of the truck in time.
I don't think the FSD saw the end of the lane soon enough and it had to think quick. Which it did!
The truck actually gives a little space right at the end.
What's most surprising is manual intervention never tripped. It just kept going.
Anyway I do love the car! Had it almost a year and I was on the way home from a trackday with it when this happened.
@@Goatee_yaySo was it FSD's first try or not? It seems to me that you had to have used it on the way to the track. You love the car but use such an inflammatory headline. Lol
@fparent Actually got the update downloaded on the way to the track, installed it overnight, and tried it for the first time on the way home!
Just because I love the car doesn't mean I cannot be critical of it.
Yeah, a lot of people do not realize that it’s their responsibility to safely merge onto the highway it’s surprising just how many..
dont know why this video was recommended to me but the car did exactly what it was supposed to do. It was unfortunate timing that the semi was right there when you needed to merge.
the problem is not wrecking. the problem is the car melts to the ground like lava with you inside after it wrecks and no door handles.
Just like all the comments from the Idiots on here,, your acting like a kid with a new toy
