Tesla FSD : Georgia on my mind.

Velocity Restrict Issues

On a latest street journey to Florida from Tennessee I needed to cease utilizing Tesla FSD. It turned completely unusable. This was because of latest modifications in how a Tesla reads the street’s lively velocity restrict. In Georgia they submit separate minimal velocity indicators. Tesla now reads this because the velocity restrict for the freeway and the automotive slows quickly except you’re in heavy site visitors.

Two years in the past we took a comparable journey to Florida and FSD labored flawlessly. It’s annoying to see FSD regress like this. Auto lane change was once such an incredible function.

Different states mix the velocity restrict and minimal velocity indicators onto one signal which a Tesla reads simply high-quality. So we had no issues with velocity limits in Tennessee or Florida, nevertheless on I-75 in Georgia I simply drove myself.

Lane change downside

One other subject I bumped into with the newest FSD software program is with the way it handles interstates with 3 or extra lanes. In gentle site visitors with the automotive using in the proper hand lane the automobile will out of the blue determine to maneuver over a lane although there is no such thing as a site visitors forward. A message comes up on the display screen saying “Altering lanes to remain out of the rightmost lane”. In some locations indicators let you know to maintain to the proper besides to go, this habits might get you a ticket and is actually thoughtless to different street customers.

I first observed this on a street journey final 12 months to the Grand Canyon. I had no thought what was happening and stop utilizing FSD. At the very least Tesla have improved the messaging however not the poor driving behavior.

On two lane interstates the automotive will keep in the proper lane which is regular habits.

WIth all of the hype from Elon Musk that FSD is getting near full autonomy, my expertise is that it’s simply getting worse. Freeway driving was once nice in a Tesla. Not a lot anymore.
