Interestingly, the original creator of the video has since made it private. FSD beta testers are carefully handpicked — a lot of the Tesla “influencers” are given access for some free marketing. I wonder how many FSD bad driving videos are not uploaded to YouTube at all because they don’t want to say anything negative about Tesla and possibly lose influence/ad revenue.
This is on top of Tesla classifying FSD as level 2 system (while promoting as “level 5 soon”) so they don’t have to share data with CA DMV. Only reason not to be transparent like the others is if you’re not confident in your system.
- ballenf 5y agoDo you know if the terms of those arrangements give Tesla copyright ownership of the videos? Just wondering whether the driver or Tesla issued the DMCA.
- sidibe 5y agoThe driver is a big fan of Tesla (even in that video he was very impressed with FSD 10). I think he probably deleted it himself because of the backlash
- Shank 5y agoThere's a mirror of the original video here: https://streamable.com/grihhc https://streamable.com/grihhc. I consider it fairly valuable to study academically, as it shows both how the Tesla autopilot system performs, and how the the driver reacts to the system, with the knowledge that it's a beta, and their manner of movement, operation, and knowledge of the system and what they let it do. I think the biggest problem I have is that the driver doesn't intervene/even really stop the car. The good autopilot 'test channels' like 'AI DRIVR' will routinely disengage if any safety concern is present. The monorail test driver, in contrast, knows the monorail is a problem and was criticized for not correcting the car driving under the monorail, which is already illegal behavior.
