Tesla Model Y L FSD Supervised 14.3.3 | Wednesday Lunchtime Drive

[00:00:00]Hey everyone, Tesla Tom here with another FSD supervised video version 14.3.3 in our Tesla Model Y. Uh let's go for another drive and this time we're going to use Grock once again. Let's hold on to Grock. Uh navigate to Forestville, New South Wales and use Hampton Road on the way.

[00:00:28]Okay, let's do that.

[00:00:33]>> Navigating to Forestville via Hampton Road in Artman first about 8 km total around 15 minutes.

[00:00:41]>> All right, let's see whether this works.

[00:00:45]>> All right, that's enough of the route.

[00:00:48]>> It may stop in our time, so we'll see.

[00:00:50]We'll see how we go. Um, let's start self-driving.

[00:00:54]Let's do it. Let's still wait till this car passes us and then we'll press that button.

[00:01:02]Okay, there is a ute coming towards us on the right. So, we will just wait for that. Whether the car should wait for it. Let's see whether it goes now.

[00:01:15]Interesting. Maybe I need to go forward a bit. Go forward a bit. Go forward a bit.

[00:01:22]Okay. So, you see there was a bolard on my right. So, maybe it was being super cautious and I'm not wanting to go. So, if I pushed it forward a bit, it would go.

[00:01:32]Interesting. So, I thought it would just go out of the parking spot, but no, it did not. All good.

[00:01:42]Okay, turning left here onto Pacific Highway.

[00:01:52]It is about 1:00 on Wednesday afternoon, so just around lunchtime. So, there might be a bit of uh traffic in terms of pedestrian activity.

[00:02:03]Um, not sure. We'll see. I guess put my sunnies on maybe cuz of the sun.

[00:02:10]It's the show that I am starting to relax.

[00:02:14]We'll see.

[00:02:17]I was using my heart rate monitor before in other videos, but this time I think you get the idea just um just go driving with the car as is.

[00:02:32]Okay, so amber light coming up on the other side. So this should turn green.

[00:02:38]There we go.

[00:02:41]Reasonable amount of time for it to move. That's fine.

[00:02:46]Uh sun is right up in the sky there. Oh, crossing a unbroken line. Interesting again. Maybe that's map data.

[00:02:58]Maybe. Anyway, you can see on the thing anyway, isn't it on the um screen that it's broken? Should know better. All good. I generally try not to cross that broken line.

[00:03:18]So, that little ding-dong you heard was the fact that there is a uh speed camera coming up.

[00:03:24]Nice.

[00:03:26]Went off. Took off from the light at a reasonable pace. Keeping in pace with the car ahead.

[00:03:34]Very humanike.

[00:03:36]Very attentive humanlike, I should say.

[00:03:42]Bit of a rolling start. Don't mind that.

[00:03:44]We are still in hurry mode. I just cannot bear to go in anything slower at this stage. I know. I know. I need to try sloth mode soon. Maybe I'll do a test first on like a Sunday morning, like when there's no one else around. Do that first. It is still a little bit close to the right for my liking. Um there is like, you know, you see a raised raised divider there between the two. See there? It's a little bit to the right. Little bit to the right again.

[00:04:10]The lane going under the speed limit which is good. Speed cameras everywhere on this road.

[00:04:24]Okay, so that's good that it's going by Hampton Road in our Tman.

[00:04:30]I think at least I think that's correct.

[00:04:32]It looked correct on the map. I just wanted to go like up up the uh next right turn because we've seen going up this Okay. I wanted to go up this way.

[00:04:43]Uh, past the hospital, past Northshore Hospital.

[00:04:51]It's funny when you're not actually like driving. I get to look at my surroundings a lot more.

[00:05:03]Let's see which lane it takes. Will it take the left lane? No, it's going to take the far right because I guess that's fair. Um, the left lane once we turn there will be parked cars sometimes. I think the lanes merge eventually. See, there we go. So, I think that's the correct decision.

[00:05:22]Probably would have done the same.

[00:05:28]Um, we can see the the sun is beaming down on the on the road. So, there is some shadowing and um so it's a good test tip for it again under these conditions in bright sunlight.

[00:05:47]People walking around, pedestrian crossing, slow cars. Good test. Good test.

[00:06:00]I think most people will be none the wiser, right?

[00:06:05]Yeah. I started some discussion a couple of videos ago about um about whether it's warranted putting like a blue light or some sort of indicator to tell people that this car is indeed running autonomously.

[00:06:18]Yeah, mixed mixed reactions and that's understandable. Like places like China where you know I think it's a controversial thing to say. It's the population that potentially are more forgiving and more compliant with um with new tech. Whereas here in Australia like you know some people may not take too kindly to it and actually go out of their way to make life difficult for you if you're driving a car with a blue light autonomous lights just to show that you know let them know who's in charge. It's a bit ridiculous really.

[00:06:46]But let's see. That's a hardish break, isn't it? Interesting. So, I wasn't sure what that guy was doing walking on the left.

[00:06:54]Wonder why it didn't break the other day when the kid with the bike was riding across the path. Interesting, isn't it?

[00:07:00]I guess in this situation, like there's a pedestrian crossing, so there's nowhere to go for this car, so it has to break. I guess that's part of the algorithm. Like, there's nowhere to go.

[00:07:08]It has to break. Whereas the other day with the kid could have gone around, so it chose to go around rather than hard stop. But we know it can do an emergency stop just like that, right? So it can be done. Anyway, interesting decision- making process.

[00:07:26]I think the speed limit here is 40. So it's appropriately going under that.

[00:07:36]The pedestrian crossing here.

[00:07:40]It's a nice gentle stop to it. makes people feel um comfortable and safe. The car is not going to, you know, do anything silly.

[00:07:51]Interesting. So, the green light, but the pedestrian light was still red, but people were still crossing, but it didn't go yet until the last pedestrian cross. So, that's good. That's a safe thing to do.

[00:08:04]I mean, this is a real life situation, right? This is not a lab. This is not AI.

[00:08:13]I know like there's a lot of tech which I personally don't understand. Like I get the philosophy behind it and the and the the purpose, but I don't like I'm not a software engineer, so I don't know the complete ins and outs, but I I know that we need to test these quote unquote clinically in the sense that it needs to be working in real life. You know, you can explain all the tech you like, but it's got to work practically, right? So, I guess that's my purpose to show you that it does work or it doesn't work.

[00:08:40]Test those edge cases.

[00:08:42]Be the beta tester. I guess pedestrian walking very close to the road. No problem on the left.

[00:08:58]Another roundabout.

[00:09:00]Excuse me. The tickle in my throat.

[00:09:04]Slow roundabout. Does it indicate out?

[00:09:07]It does. Brilliant. It's probably more than I would have done.

[00:09:13]We got a pedestrian island coming up.

[00:09:16]Does it slow down for it? Yes, it does.

[00:09:18]Over the crest. Smart. I think the limit is now 50. So, it's okay. All right. So, I wanted to go past this part in our TAN cuz it can get busy with pedestrians.

[00:09:29]So, let's see.

[00:09:36]40 area again. Does it pick it up?

[00:09:40]Yes, it does.

[00:09:44]Cyclists lunch hour.

[00:09:48]Oh, wants to go left. Oh, you know what?

[00:09:50]Maybe it wants to pull over.

[00:09:54]Now, let's let's take the indicator off because that's confusing. So, yeah, look, it's reached its destination. It probably wants to pull over. So, I might actually push the accelerator once we go past the red light cuz I don't want to pull over anymore.

[00:10:06]I just wanted to like use this road, right? As opposed to pulling over. So, let's see what happens if I push the accelerator.

[00:10:13]Just push it a bit more. Nope. We are fine. We don't want to stop. Just go, go, go. Nope. Just go. Just go. All good. Nope. Nope. Just go. I think hopefully hopefully that's it.

[00:10:35]I'm sure there's a way to cancel that.

[00:10:39]Okay.

[00:10:41]Can't cancel a waypoint. Or can you?

[00:10:43]Let's see.

[00:10:49]Any I think it's probably okay now. All right.

[00:10:56]Car with its open door.

[00:11:01]Now, let's see which way does this go.

[00:11:03]Oh, it's got a U-turn. No, we do not want that. No, we don't don't want that.

[00:11:07]Nope. Nope. Nope.

[00:11:10]Not sure if I get this in time.

[00:11:14]No, I'm going to cancel that because uh I'm I'm done with that. So, let's That's fine. We will use Croc once again.

[00:11:24]Navigate to Forestville.

[00:11:29]Yep. Let's do that once more. We'll self drive as well. So, >> navigating to Forestville.

[00:11:34]>> I mean, that was 8 km >> an intervention, but >> in 15 >> uh but it was more of a navigation issue. I didn't want it to stop. So, it was like trying to go back on itself on the roundabout. So, all good.

[00:11:49]Don't think that was a real problem apart from the fact that it's a nav issue. All right. We'll continue on with the journey. Let's see where Oh, here we go. pedestrian is crossingish.

[00:11:58]It's not technically a pedestrian crossing, so we don't have to stop for them. There is a refuge island there.

[00:12:05]Pedestrian island.

[00:12:11]Going through some quieter streets again.

[00:12:14]I think it might be a 50 this road, so it's okay.

[00:12:23]Here's a good test for all the roundabouts in suburban Sydney for you.

[00:12:31]Oh, went over the roundabout. Luckily, it was a low-rise one. So, no rim damage. Yeah, that was very close. Here we go. Here's a another chicaney thing.

[00:12:42]Let's see what happens.

[00:12:44]Interesting, isn't it? I mean, I would have thought they would have calibrated for the wheelbase already, but maybe not, right? They did they did halt version 14 for Yel and I think a lot of someone said um they just halted version 14 in general in Australia but it didn't resend what I had so I've still got 14.

[00:13:11]Interesting isn't it?

[00:13:31]Today's like roundabout day.

[00:13:33]Oh, here's a good test.

[00:13:38]Oh, smart, isn't it? Wait till that guy goes and then I was able to um go around that parked car.

[00:13:48]Oh, it's going frighteningly close to that that traffic island.

[00:13:55]All right. What does it do here? There's a turn left on the Pensest. Interesting.

[00:13:59]I wouldn't have maybe done that. I would have gone straight onto Sydney Street.

[00:14:05]Okay, it's fine. We'll just let it do it. Let it do its thing.

[00:14:10]Don't know.

[00:14:12]Maybe it wants to go straight. Okay. No, it is going straight.

[00:14:17]Oh, this this is a really interesting road. So, this is a road that I have always wanted it to take to see where what it does because this is a very tight road, right? You can see like there are cars going both ways. Not much room to move to be honest. I would have probably gone a bit more to the left to be very frank with you. might pull this up here so we can see what it's doing because um you can see there's not much room for for cars to pass each other.

[00:14:47]Lots of speed bumps.

[00:14:51]Detour. No, I don't want to go there. I want to go as far as I can on this road.

[00:14:57]Ah, there's a lot of water. Okay, there's a lot of water running down here. Yuck. Very dirty water. Now, let's I've always wondered what happens here, right? Because both cars are approaching a round a speed bump. Luckily that white car is stopping. So all good. But if both cars are approaching, who gives way to each other?

[00:15:15]All these edge cases that need to be tested and validated and verified.

[00:15:23]Garbage truck.

[00:15:27]I'm sure this is fascinating viewing for you, too. It's fascinating viewing for me watching this in real time.

[00:15:33]Let's go around the garbage truck.

[00:15:38]Okay, there's a lot of shadows on the road. You can see with the trees, no lane markings.

[00:15:45]I'm very curious as we get to uh Pencehurst Street because that's sometimes a tricky road to come out of turning left on the Pensurst.

[00:15:57]So, I can feel my anxiety rising already cuz that road is tricky enough as it is for me driving manually.

[00:16:05]I put my heart rate monitor on just to see what it's doing now cuz this this is a tricky junction at the best of times.

[00:16:22]Okay. Well, 7980 is not too bad.

[00:16:25]So, definitely gone higher. It's still riding very close to the right of the road for some reason.

[00:16:39]Okay. So, this is the junction I'm referring to where it needs to make a a quick left. Um, that left, it's a double lane road. This this road, Pens Road, Pens Street, that left lane is blocked.

[00:16:52]Okay, today is not bad because there's no car on the right. So, I mean, there you go. In fact, my heart rate stayed down. So, good. Fine.

[00:17:02]No problem. Sometimes people turn right here. Uh and me as a human manual driver. I would would swung out a bit.

[00:17:11]Should I honk?

[00:17:15]I'm not going to honk because someone in the last video went, "It's an offense to honk unnecessarily."

[00:17:20]Say fine, I won't honk. Then you probably would have honked, right, watching this. You would have gone, "Now I'm going to honk." Especially in Sydney.

[00:17:31]A lot of um people watching these vids, of course. Of course. Scrutinizing them.

[00:17:36]Got to do the right thing.

[00:17:41]Okay. Going at 61.

[00:17:46]Oh, Joyy's calling.

[00:17:51]I'll have to give her a call back.

[00:17:58]Okay. Okay. So, look at this. It's actually merging out of this lane because it was turning right.

[00:18:10]Okay. What's it doing now?

[00:18:17]Going straight.

[00:18:24]Okay.

[00:18:26]and queuing up. All right. Well, I'm going to give Joy a call.

[00:18:32]All right, we should be going green soon. Here we go.

[00:18:36]This is a high stakes green because it's very short. So, I think the car did pretty admirably. Would probably a little bit slower than I would have personally, but you know, good enough. I think good enough that more people got managed to to get out of that light as well. So, yep, it was a good citizen at the end of the day.

[00:18:55]Still riding that right line of the lane marking bit more than I would.

[00:19:04]And coming up to another red.

[00:19:10]This is luckily a quick quick light so I shouldn't be here too long.

[00:19:18]Don't worry guys and girls. I'll get to a point where, you know, I'll enjoy this experience eventually driving home where the car will take me back.

[00:19:30]I mean, is it is enjoyable watching it.

[00:19:32]So, I'm sort of still on the stressful side, but I'll get there. Just takes me a bit longer to lose to let go a bit more.

[00:19:46]I'm sure the software will improve too, right? ly over time with each update as Tesla always do.

[00:19:55]Merge to the right.

[00:19:58]Wants to go faster. Good.

[00:20:18]So here technically it's 60 all the way till the uh 80 sign which is uh just past that pedest uh pass past the overpass bridge should be coming up pretty soon. Most people go at like 70 almost 80 at this point riding over the cat's eyes. It's really quite close to the right side of the lane as you can see here and here.

[00:20:41]Okay, so we're getting to 80 now. There we go. Sometimes there are unmarked police uh hidden police lurking around in that area too.

[00:20:59]Can look at the uh the harbor below us.

[00:21:02]The river glistening water. Things I don't notice when I'm driving.

[00:21:09]Oh, it's close to the right. It's comfortably so now. Okay, back in the middle.

[00:21:17]85.

[00:21:19]Yeah, acceptable, I guess.

[00:21:24]Oh, that's close to the right. Pull over. Full more left. Yeah. Okay. I guess the cat's eye is like a warning.

[00:21:31]You're going too close to the right.

[00:21:46]Okay, we're climbing the hill.

[00:22:05]Up we go.

[00:22:12]It's a good thing about um FSD and the the speed tracking it's you know because it's computer driven obviously it's just the acceleration deceleration is just smooth like butter whereas a human driver you'd be like stop starting stop starting trying to get that perfect speed but when it's computer driven it's just no problem can match the speed perfectly I suppose cruise control does that too some degree.

[00:22:45]Let's see which way are we going? Right on Starky. Yeah, that's probably okay.

[00:22:49]Right on Starky. Once we turn right on the Starky, then we will finish up for the day. No problem. It's been a good journey, hasn't it? Overall, pretty smooth.

[00:23:10]satisfying when it works.

[00:23:18]There we go. Stark key is coming up indicating right which is good.

[00:23:26]This used to be an unprotected turn. Oh, here we go. Can I make this light? Can it be quick enough?

[00:23:31]Do I need to give it a push? Oh, no.

[00:23:35]First did the light.

[00:23:38]All right, this is a long light, so uh might actually leave it for now. But thanks everyone for watching. Um pretty much almost time. So yeah, until the next vlog. Until then, I'm Tesla Tom and we'll see you on the next Lucris video.

[00:23:53]Happy charging.
