I learned that I felt best when I was quite restrictive in my attitude to what I would let it get away with. So when we are driving together (FSDb & I) I’m always applying just enough torque on the steering wheel to feel what the car is doing.
Each time it tried to something stupid, just like the warning message says, and it tried to jerk the wheel off on some random direction, it never gets far.
Every time it does that I’ll tap the camera icon to submit the clip to Tesla. For the more obscure ones I’ll send an email to fsdbeta to clarify.
After that its down to your personal trust level. But its definitely still a real beta but is now at the point where its doing some things really well but is staggeringly bad elsewhere.
It does seem that the good/bad is regional though.
In my area, this release is the most confidence inspiring so far, but the limitations are still evident.
Unprotected left turns are interesting
Any junction that is asymmetrical or complex in some way can also be entertaining. We have lots of those in the area.
Oddly, junctions with no traffic are sometimes an issue, the car is more confident when its got other cars to provide cues.
Flashing yellow warning lights & signs have been an issue, not sure the still are.
Really large intersections with traffic lights can sometimes be fun, the car can have problems picking a lane.
Its not good at avoiding potholes
Most larger, well marked roads are pretty darned good right now as are highways etc
Its quite good at spotting traffic calming and will slow down for them
Once you get used to what it does well it becomes more like driving with Autopilot and much more relaxing.
Even my family is allowing me to use it when they’re in the car now, so its improved enough for that to happen
[edit]
I forgot to add.
Make a second driver profile with FSD disabled so you can use that if you have folks who don’t like how FSDb drives.
