there are a lot of stories about it trying to match speeds with merging vehicles and one instance i've seen on video where it tried to merge into an adjacent vehicle in stopped traffic. that and not reliably detecting actual "lanes" as opposed to "marks on the road" would give me pause. but good luck

they gave me a 30 day trial for the enhanced autopilot, we took a 5,000 mile road trip during that trial, and a few times it did match the speed of vehicles next to us, it was weird.

I don’t think any driver assistance features should be trusted without paying attention, Tesla or not, but having them really helps with fatigue.

ah, but that's adaptive cruise control/autopilot, FSD is a whole 'nother ballgame

for example one of those things exists and is lethal, the other is perfectly safe because it is nothing but a promise

pay attention. last week Elon moved the goalposts and declared mission accomplished. Full Self Driving now just means navigate on autopilot (which is where it changes lanes without a rear-view radar), autopark, which is hopeless, and summon, which is hopeless. and you have to meet your hands on the wheel. it’s fully self-driving!

navigate on autopilot is hilariously bad. changing lanes doesn’t work half the time even when the road’s clear, and taking off/on ramps would result in huge speed reductions you’d feel like someone’s gonna rear end you

they didn't use radar anywhere until AP2, in 2014

even that one was a pencil beam pointing out the front. they try to do everything optically, you may wonder if this has anything to do with the inability to determine stationary objects from moving ones while at speed.

does that mean if I had a laser pointer (or bright enough lights) and good aim, I could potentially cause an autopilot Tesla to side swipe a car behind it?

sensor fusion is hard and you get spurious signals/reflections form a lot of random crap with radar. so it's a lot easier to ignore it and use your optical system instead

there was a thing a while back about autopilot being set to straight up ignore the radar completely in map areas tagged as overpasses because otherwise the reflections would cause the collision avoidance to emergency brake


so
- cameras can't reliably detect stationary objects above 50mph (or at all in many conditions)
- radar can't reliably detect anything in ??? circumstances
- lidar is expensive

it’s a miracle these things don’t crash more often on autopilot

that just seems like pretty terrible design not to have redundant sensors for a feature like that.

it’s possible they didn’t have the system until 2014, but AP1 was mobileye optical sensors and a Bosch radar, I’m positive.

yeah, i think this is just a case of confusing the original competent (for the intended purpose of adaptive cruise control etc.) mobileye system and what tesla threw together when mobileye told them to go gently caress themselves (correctly predicting from teslas lax use of the system that they were otherwise getting tangled up in guillotining people)
