Key Insights
- 😮 Tesla's self-driving technology saw a pedestrian in the dark before the driver did, showcasing its impressive capability in detecting obstacles.
- 🚦 The car handled the yellow flashing light on snowy roads flawlessly, contrary to some comments about its performance in similar situations.
- 🛣️ The car is able to anticipate the intended actions of other drivers, slowing down to allow them to merge, which is very reassuring.
- 🛣️ Highway merging is done really well, accelerating nicely, signaling, matching speed, and smoothly pulling into the adjacent lane.
- 🚗 Tesla's full self-driving still struggles with lane endings, often cutting in without signaling, posing potential danger on the road.
- 🚗 "It takes way too long to slow down to the speed limit. It reads the speed sign clearly reduces its maximum set speed but then just takes way too long to slow down."
- 🌧️ The bad weather hindered the car's ability to see, leading to safety critical interventions and the car quitting on its own.
- 🌧️ Despite some issues, the majority of the 4 and 1/2 hours of driving was done very well, and most interventions or issues should be cleared up as training continues.
