Key Insights
Performance and Capabilities
- 🚗 The acceleration curve felt really good, throwing the driver back in their seat.
- 🚗 The reaction time to the oncoming car was pretty good, giving some confidence in the system's capabilities.
- 🛣️ The car's navigation through unprotected turns and dynamic lane changes shows progress in handling complex driving scenarios.
- 🚦 The FSD handled the S curve and speed limit well, but there are clips of previous versions struggling with corner cases and not doing very well.
- 🤔 There's a lot of academic stuff going on these days about simple bizarre ways to trick these models, that the human mind might not normally think of.
- 🚗 The car acted like a robo-taxi, giving way to a pedestrian no matter what.
- 🅿️ The AI successfully nailed a parallel parking maneuver, showcasing its capability in certain driving scenarios.
- 🚦 The AI made a good decision to wait at a very small gap before the light turned yellow, even though it was awkward.
Advancements and Features
- 🛣️ Elon has been talking about version 12.4 and version 12.5 with significant model changes and a couple weeks of training time, no more compute constraints.
- 🔄 The ability to tap on spots without the "P" and have the car pull forward is an awesome new feature.
- 🚗 The improved Auto Park feature shows slow but precise and accurate performance, marking a significant advancement in parking technology.

06:15 🚗 The car successfully navigated narrow roads, stopped at intersections, and demonstrated improved performance, with a good reaction time to oncoming cars and improved navigation through obstacles, although it made an unnecessary stop and hit a speed bump at 17 mph.
- The car successfully navigated a narrow road, stopped at an intersection, and slowed down for a speed bump, demonstrating improved performance.
- The car's reaction time to an oncoming car was good, but it made an unnecessary stop and hit a speed bump at 17 mph.
- The new version of the software has fixed the issue with the suicide lane turn and is now able to navigate through the obstacle course without using the suicide lane.
- The speed limit is 30 mph but the car feels comfortable up to 40 mph, with adequate lines and minimal slowing down in turns, although the auto speed is a personal choice and varies in blind curves.
-
10:19 🚗 The latest version of Supervised FSD has improved dynamics with oncoming cars and pedestrians, but has limitations with auto speed and Autopilot behavior, with potential for future updates including improved graphics and smart summon.
- The speaker discusses the improvements and limitations of the latest version of the Supervised FSD, as well as the potential for future updates.
- The car had some interesting dynamics with oncoming cars and pedestrians, and the auto speed after passing a vehicle felt too slow, with the Autopilot sometimes acting too far up or down and treating a 90° turn differently.
- Version 12.4 includes an auto park change, which is unusual for a point release, but it may have been ready for a while and they decided to release it now.
- The new version of the FSD software has improved graphics and potentially better selection logic, with hopes for smart summon and other features in future releases.
