Here's a video I shot when we test drove my friend's FSD beta back in November of 2021 when it was on 10.4: https://youtu.be/qKvhvwmynZc https://youtu.be/qKvhvwmynZc It's downright terrifying. At one point, it swerved us into a suicide lane WHERE ANOTHER TRUCK WAS STOPPED AND FACING US, and he had to take over to avoid it just, well, killing us. In clear, broad daylight with no weather. My biggest critique that seems completely unsolvable is what I (the passenger) mention at the beginning of this video and throughout: the B-pillar and STATIC positioning of the ONLY side-facing camera makes things VERY difficult on the car as it attempts to turn out from a small feeder road onto a large, fast, multi-lane arterial road. There are limitless occlusions that get in the way, that humans compensate for by moving their head, binocular vision, and gently easing the car forward a bit to see around something, but not so much that you put your nose out into traffic. (Though, also definitely that, people do that all the time.) The car cannot do anything but ease itself forward. It can't "look around" a telephone or utility box or a bush that hasn't been trimmed down in a bit. It frankly can't even do the human mental gymnastics of being able to see motion THROUGH the branches of a fairly dense bush and interpreting that as a likely vehicle. The number of times we encounter these situations and compensate for them on a daily basis is astounding. The Tesla is simply not equipped with the sensors needed to address this, in any stretch of the imagination. Fixed frame. Fixed focal length. Fixed location. No pan or tilt. No way to see "around" something. A single side-facing camera located BEHIND the driver's head. Tell me how a Tesla ever manages to turn out on to a road, from a neighborhood 25 mph road to a "nominally-45-mph-but-really-65-mph" road like the one outside my house, when I have to crane my neck around the bush that blocks us, and I know I need to start looking well ahead of the bush to understand the traffic dynamics as I approach?
