A summary of my observations of the improvements made to Tesla Autosteer, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC), and 'Full Self Driving' (FSD) going from v10.5 to v10.8. Note: I continue to observe new behavior. Thus, this
Note: I continue to observe new behavior. Thus, this summary is not comprehensive.I have been teaching alpine skiing at the Brighton Resort in Utah, which is 49 miles from my home near Orem, Utah. The trip includes 18 miles up a long winding Big Cottonwood Canyon Road. In my old two-wheel-drive Nissan Leaf, it was such a challenge that on snowy days I had to park at the bottom of the canyon and hitchhike up the canyon. With my dual-motor Tesla Model 3, I can make the trip in any weather.
I surmise that this is because Tesla is trying to be much more proactive in versions 10.x about stopping for pedestrians, bikes, and fire trucks stopped in the road than in the old TACC. I surmise that versions 10.x can’t always tell the difference between a real object where braking is necessary and some slight variation in lighting, shadows on the pavement, etc. [Editor’s note: I assume it’s largely from switching to “vision only” — only using cameras and no longer using radar.
It is quite common in the Western US to have speed limits of 80 mph or even higher. Let’s say you have your speed set to 80 mph in an 80 mph speed zone and you want to speed up to quickly pass a slower moving car.To start, you will see a red graphic steering wheel flashing at you, but that’s not the worst part. You will have to pull off the freeway at the next exit, bring your car to a full stop and put it in park before you have access to FSD again.
