@wholemars That is far from unique on Teslas. I've had it since I bought my first model y in 2020. I will admit that it's gotten worse with my juniper.
@WallStreetApes Is this clickbait? Wegman's is a high-end joint. Of course they're more expensive. Cheap or free alternatives are available everywhere I've ever lived.
@visegrad24 I genuinely believe Carlson is pursuing an 'All publicity is good publicity' strategy. People stopped listening to him and now he is desperately trying to attract attention in any way he can. What a tool.
Point taken. However to me these disengagements illustrate FSD has the affliction of chronic situational unawareness.
Tesla should fix the underlying problem, not give us a naughty stick to make it slow down artificially.
FSD has to read it's surroundings like we do because us meat-sacks created the restrictions in the first place. I'm hopeful that part of 4.3's "sentience" will incorporate at least the beginning of that awareness.
Not used by Tesla in the US:
What Tesla uses in the US instead (2025)FSD gets real-time traffic events from:Tesla fleet data (millions of cars reporting slowdowns, hazards, police, etc. — usually the fastest source)
Crowdsourced third-party feeds (Google, TomTom, HERE, etc.)
Vision-based detection (FSD directly sees brake lights, cones, emergency vehicles, accidents ahead)
Government 511 feeds in some states (text-based, slower)
These sources are so dense and fast in the US that spoken radio announcements would actually be slower and less accurate than what FSD already knows.
@elonmusk I used to work for them back in the day. Their commitment to journalistic non-bias was baked into the culture. Now I wouldn't believe them if their lounges came notarized.
@cybrtrkguy Strong arguments for when UFSD is ubiquitous. You fail to mention that you, personally, are still liable when pulled over for traffic violations. No turn on red is a cop favorite for pulling you over. Also, red light cameras don't care about your cars opinions on safety.
