It appears Tesla FSD just ignores things it doesn't understand, which is really dangerous in a production vehicle.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
We are going to need a fundamental breakthrough in AI to achieve the level of FSD that people expect. Like a convolutional neural network level breakthrough.
I don't think that's necessarily true. There are plenty of people in the AV space that routinely drive significantly better than this and are already doing completely driverless service in some geofences. The problem with Tesla's approach has always been that Elon wanted to sell it before he actually knew anything about how to solve it. It's lead to series of compounding errors in Tesla's approach to AVs. The vehicle…
I mean they trained pigeon's to guide bombs in WW2.
Some may die, be disabled or may linger in vegetative state life-long, but it was their choice afterall and the it can argued that medicinal side-effects are very small cause of mortality and hence long-term the "public beta tests" will make drugs more effective and save more lives!

I'm going to posit that none of those novel skill requirements are actually requirements. You don't need to interpret a UI, or recognize intent to know that the car shouldn't turn the wrong way on a one-way street or hit a planter. Anticipating common errors and remaining vigilant while driving is a requirement for all driving, not when dealing with FSD. If you are capable of driving a car safely to begin with, then…
What makes them required is the speed that a reaction is expected. In both the quick and velocity senses of the word. Unless the user is able to understand and anticipate common reactions, the entire system is unsafe at >25 mph or so. Or, to put it another way, I'd love to see the statistics on how many drivers can react quickly enough to avert an unexpected turn into an exit divider at 60 mph, after a number of days…
I don't understand how something this broken is allowed to operate on public roads. If I drove like Tesla's FSD seems to based on the videos I've seen, I'd be pulled out of my car and arrested on (well founded) suspicions of "driving while hammered." After a decade of work, it's not capable of doing much beyond "blundering around a city mostly without hitting stuff, but pay attention, because it'll try to hit the mos…
Nine versions in, I would expect ongoing challenges with things like you mention. But continued failure to even see large, flat obstacles is no longer something that needs to be fixed – that it has persisted this long (even after killing someone as in the case of T-boning a semi trailer at highway speeds) is an indictment of the entire approach Tesla has been taking to FSD.
I used to think FSD was just a matter of getting enough training for the models, but this has changed my mind. When you still require a disengagement not to negotiate some kind of nuanced edge case, but to avoid driving straight into a concrete pylon, it's time to throw it all out and start over.
Question: Would it be awesome if FDA allowed Pharma to conduct drug-tests like this? Put a "beta-2.9" on the vial and let people try it out... Some may die, be disabled or may linger in vegetative state life-long, but it was their choice afterall and the it can argued that medicinal side-effects are very small cause of mortality and hence long-term the "public beta tests" will make drugs more effective and save more…
I watched a human driver in a BMW weave at 90 mph through traffic yesterday, swerving back and forth between lanes inches from other peoples cars. If Tesla can make a car that's even 1% less dangerous than human drivers, that could be thousands of deaths avoided every year. Humans should not be allowed to drive cars on public streets.
But that surely is the description of 1% of the drivers. It should be better than the 1% worst drivers. It should be demonstrably safer than humans on average with a good margin.

The monorail video is jaw-dropping. Nine versions in, I would expect ongoing challenges with things like you mention.

Many of the comments here seem a bit... unfair to me, considering that these clips were handpicked. I watched (and fast-forwarded) through a few of the original, full-length videos from which these clips were taken. The full-length videos show long drives (in some cases, hours long) almost entirely without human intervention, under conditions explicitly meant to be difficult for self-driving vehicles. One thing I rea…
> For BETA software, FSD 9 is doing remarkably well
If this was a React website, that'd be great. But it's a production $40,000 multi ton automobile.

Because Elon doesn't operate under the same jurisdiction as us common people. Try calling out a random diver a 'pedo', or perform the most cynical kind of market manipulation (then laughing to the SEC at their face) and your outcome will be very different. It's Animal Farm all over.
