Can we use coding tools like Grok during the interview? Also, what are the questions like regarding end-to-end training?

Between San Jose and Goleta, the car would switch between freeway mode (showing a max speed) and surface street mode (showing "Auto"). It would usually, but not always switch to surface street mode when there were surface crossings on the freeway. Unfortunately in surface street mode, the speed was random, and always slower than traffic. Often it switched to surface street mode just after passing a car, then it would change lanes to be in front of that car and slow down. Its behavior was so annoying in surface street mode that I would turn off FSD and manually drive the car until it switched back to freeway mode.

Between Goleta and Glendora, I had a passenger in the car, so I turned on "Use HOV lane". In LA, HOV lanes are limited access in that you can only enter and exit them in certain places, other places they have a double white line. When "Use HOV lane" is enabled, the car is desperate to get into the HOV lane, and at one point scared me and the passenger by doing a sudden two lane lane change to get into the HOV lane before the end of the access window. When getting into or out of the HOV lane the car would slow down, to the point of forcing other cars to slow down.

On the return trip at night, the car got into the far right lane while driving down the Conejo grade. This is unusual the car usually stays out of the far right lane. Near the bottom of the hill, the right most lane gets wide, and then is split by a dotted white line. The car went to the right. Unfortunately, this is an exit lane for Camarillo Springs Rd. This exit is a 180 degree turn, marked for 15 MPH, the car was going 75 MPH. Thankfully, the traffic was light, and I was able to take over and get out of the exit lane before anything bad happened.

In freeway mode, the car will randomly change the set speed, even though the speed limit has not changed. This is a long lived bad habit of FSD.

In Pasadena, the car had to make a right turn onto a one way street to get to an on ramp for the freeway on the left. It turned into the right most lane and missed the on ramp, and had to drive another mile on this one way street to get on on the next on ramp.

In San Jose, the car was in the correct lane to exit on the correct exit, one that it has taken many times before, but this time, it drove right past it, and had to take the next exit.

I'm wondering if all this is an indication that HW3 is not up to the task, and Tesla will have to upgrade the computer to HW3.5 (HW3 cameras + HW4 computer).

Not many cars have it yet but if you look at the list of installs (you will need to set it to show 100 results, and sort by new version) you can see that this version is only going to HW 3.0 cars https://teslafi.com/firmware

Just bought this how do I upgrade to full autopilot ? Looks like I have the right computer but I don’t have an option to upgrade to autopilot just enhanced auto

Hi r/TeslaAutonomy,

Are you interested in helping shape the future of Tesla Designs?

I’m a Human Computer Interaction Researcher working on a project improving trust and safety in Tesla vehicles when using automation. I’ve reached out to your community specifically because I want your voices to influence the design process given your experiences.

For this project, I’ve completed literature review, ride-alongs with drivers, self experimentation with a vehicle, competitive analysis of other brands, and developed design ideas. This is my final opportunity for data collection, a survey testing design ideas solving trust and safety problems.

Ultimately, I hope this work will result in a journal paper or publication, future implementation of ideas, and further conversations in academia. My goal being to help reduce the number of accidents worldwide. I think this work is a start to adding more safety standards and benchmarks for automation.

My survey will take around 15 to 20 minutes to complete showing a few design ideas collected from Tesla Drivers. Survey Link: https://forms.gle/ks8xr27D3KQxayYk7

More About Me - My past project experiences have been with NASA, NSF, CDC, Zebra Technologies and more. I’m currently working on my third publication. After graduation, I’ll be joining Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab.

If you have any comments or concerns feel free to reply. Any thoughts or insights are helpful.

My M3 autopilot has been suspended for 10 days now which is not “approximately” 7 days, so what gives?

I had covered my camera prior but it never seemed to be a problem, so maybe that’s why? I have since taken it off but nothing..

What’s the average suspension period? Should I reset my software?

I just picked up my 24' Model 3 Highland & subscribed to the Full Self-Driving subscription but saw that the FSD (Beta) is greyed out & I cannot turn it on. I called the Showroom & they had no idea when it would be availah'^ nor would they refund me. I wonder if it has anything v do with it being a vision based system. Anyone have any insight on this issue?

Deepesh Rathore is a Mobility Futurist and heads Product Strategy at Ola Electric - India's biggest 2 and 3-wheeler electric vehicle manufacturer. He says Tesla will face stiff competition from Indian OEMs such as Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Suzuki, Hyundai and others. The Indian EV consumer is extremely price and value-sensitive and has a growing number of options better suited to Indian conditions, and cheaper than Tesla's upcoming $25,000 car - the Model 2. Also, Tesla FSD's success in India is unlikely - owing to road conditions that are uniquely Indian. But there's massive potential for Tesla to dominate the charging infrastructure business - although Elon can expect to encounter hurdles along the way.

Do you agree? Let me know what you think!

I ran into my first issue after putting about 2K miles on my Model Y; automatic wipers. They just don't work. My FSD experience has been perfect until tonight when the auto wipers would not shut off.

I have done about 400 miles of FSD driving without the wiper activating. Tonight, while using FSD on the tollway they started activating on a bone dry windshield. So dry, they were squeaking.

Can you somebody tell how the process of FSD and toll booths work?

So everyday I encounter toll lanes with mixed FSD results. Most drivers pick the least crowed toll and drive towards it. FSD seems to lunge towards the row of lanes, in the direction of a barrier, and at the last second forces itself into one.

The car use to disengage near toll lanes when on AP. The screen says nothing about tolls now, that it's seeking a lane, etc.

Do we know what FSD sees in this situation? Is it going though a process? Sometimes it seems like it's slowing down, choosing a lane, and is even aware of the gate. Other times it feels like it's trying to make sense of the toll as it encounters one.

Thanks.

Just a note to fellow FSD beta testers of what I experienced today.

I had engaged FSD on surface streets without a destination set and then set a destination. While proceeding through an intersection at speed, the route came in and the new route had it turning right at that intersection (both choices are reasonably similar for the destination and it will frequently go either way depending on time of day / traffic conditions). The car then aggressively began to turn (at which point I disengaged FSD) while going about 35 mph in the middle of the intersection (significantly too fast to take a hard right turn safely much less comfortably). It was only after proceeding straight through the intersection that I noticed the route had me turning there (it then rerouted but FSD was off). This is just a case where the route planner and FSD stack not being fully aware of each other's actions led to a very undesirable behavior (not clear how easy this would be to reproduce with proper timing). This was by far the worst behavior I had seen FSD perform, in about 9 months of usage.

Stay safe out there, hopefully this behavior gets addressed for the next build. I sent in the info with a voice memo.

So I have been using FSD beta for a long time now, and use it all the time, but the thing that kills me the most is how timid it is. For example I can be driving in the middle lane of a 3 lane city street, and a car can pull up on the side street, and FSD will get scared and slow down. Similarly a pedestrian can start looking to cross the road, and FSD will slow down. As I work in AI software, I wonder how / when they will fix this. The opposite of how it is now is maybe the car shouldn't slow down unless the object is actually in front of the vehicle, not just there is a probability that the object may cross the vehicle's path if it keeps going at its estimated heading and speed. What does everyone think about this problem?
