Tesla FSD Did Something Brilliant... And Something Dumb. FSD 14.3.3

Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]It's going left here instead of right, which is Let's see how it handles. Nice.

[00:00:04]Did you just see that? That's so cool.

[00:00:07]The car just backed up to allow that bus to go through. That's badass. I got to give it to him. That's pretty cool. Hey y'all, it's Dr. Knowit All. It's been a little while, but I've got 14.3 now. Full self-driving in the Cybert truck. As you can see, it's got some new features. I'm going to start full self-driving. I am actually hoping. Oh, interesting. Okay, so I didn't know about this. Uh, I was going to do this as my first drive, but I'd forgotten that I actually put 14 or installed 14.3 last night. So, I forgot to bring my camera, my GoPro with me on the first trip. I went to the climbing gym. So, I'm going to repeat that a little bit, but I'm going to go by um uh the Dollar General store first so that we can do our lefthand turn, try that out. The at the climbing gym, at least this morning, there was actually active people out like flagmen and things like that by there um blocking off part of the road.

[00:00:57]So, I'm hoping that they're still there.

[00:00:58]I usually don't hope for construction, but I'm hoping they're still there because it was actually really cool because the car actually responded to um uh one of the flagmen was was standing there and he waved and the car actually responded to that and went around on the opposite side of the road. So, super super cool. But anyway, we're going to do that left hand turn. We're going to do that. Then we're going to go to um to my parking garage and we're going to see how the navigation all works and everything like that. I'm assuming full Nits a stop here. Yep, there we go. Uh, by the way, while I'm thinking about this, while we've got our full Nitsa stop, I am using a Joa um fan cooled charger here. Works fantastic. Much better than the Cybert trucks built-in chargers. And it's got an added bonus that you can like listen to podcasts and things like that while full self-driving is driving you around. So, that's really nice. If you want 5% off in your order, just check the link in the description.

[00:01:46]They're wonderful people. Love them.

[00:01:48]Anyway, so um yeah, let's take a look at what we got. We have got a new streak.

[00:01:52]And interestingly enough, I actually pulled out of the driveway and drove a little ways down to the horse farm before I started. That was manual. I didn't have that infall driving. Did not seem to affect the streak. So, I'm assuming if you don't actively disengage, it will actually create or keep that streak going. Now, there's been a lot of contention about the street because a lot of people are very unhappy about that. They think, and I have some concerns, too. who Chuck Cook has been very concerned about it that you don't want people going like, "Oh, you know, I've got 100 miles. I don't want to disengage." And then you do something really stupid. Okay, there's a car coming right there. Was just about to pull out and I was like, "Oo." Um, that was actually better than previously. Did you notice that it actually came up to the the corner where it could see better? It has been stopping all the way back at the line, which is you can't see anything. So, you're stopping there just means you have to stop and then go forward and stop again. So, that was actually significantly better there. Uh but anyway, so folks are like, you know, this incentivizes people for to to not disengage and that could be a problem.

[00:02:53]Uh I again I think there might be ways of fixing it. Uh there are also people saying like why the heck even do something like this? The reason why you do it is you gify it. You incentivize people to want to not disengage. Now um would they would they like does it matter? No, you don't get anything, right? You get a gold star. It's the same same thing as kindergarten when they if you did something good, they give you a gold star. It's meaningless except that it makes you feel good. But people also play video games that are meaningless except it makes them feel good, right? So they, you know, you get some sort of high score or something like that and you feel good about yourself. So people do a lot of things that are meaningless. There's no reason why we can't gify full self-driving. The the only issue, of course, is that you don't want to overcentivize it and make people feel like they don't want to disengage when they probably should. Um, David Moss and some other folks are, by the way, speaking of not disengaging, are going around. We just missed the light. So, it's going to be we'll see how this uh goes. So, we'll see how this works. Um, whether this thing is aggressive or not. The other day, I actually pulled out into traffic here.

[00:03:54]Uh, there was the left lane was busy very, very fast. People were going 55.

[00:03:58]Nobody was in the right lane. And I was I felt a little bit risk-taking when I did that. So, we'll see if the truck itself wants to do that. Otherwise, it's going to be sitting here for a while.

[00:04:06]What I would do if I were the truck is I would be up further though. This is much much closer to to um where the official stop line is. And it should be it should have crept forward so it can actually try to sneak out there if there's a gap in the traffic. I can't even see it right now. So maybe it can see it, maybe it can't. I'm not exactly sure. But anyway, it's it seems to be very happy to just sit here. And it's in MadMax mode, you'll notice. Um I will turn that down if we go on the highway and stuff.

[00:04:32]I'm doing a slightly different route.

[00:04:33]I've decided not to go to Haven Memory Care anymore because it just handles the roundabout and all that stuff so efficiently now. Doesn't seem worth going there anymore. So, why expend the time and the effort? But I definitely want to see how it handles uh the Dollar General and the lefthand turn. It's quite busy as you can see. Again, not exactly sure. So, yeah, it just waited.

[00:04:52]I I disagree with that. I think especially in Mad Max mode, it should have been attempting to get out there.

[00:04:57]Now, I'm not saying it needed to do it.

[00:04:58]I don't know that there was any gap in the traffic that was big enough, but it needed to be more aggressively into the lane. So, you could see it was too kind of wussy. Now, better to air on the side of conservatism, yes, than to air on the side of um too much. By the way, uh notice this. We are definitely trending towards that left hand line. That's something that's not particularly good.

[00:05:22]Um yeah, it's it's Cybertruck only. It never does this in the Model Y. And I noticed this this morning, too. It had not been doing it with 14.3.2, but very much. But here, it's weird because it it it tended over a little bit, but now it's it's pushing itself backwards a little bit. So, it's oscillating just a little bit. If you saw my um my hardware 3 test with our Model 3 that has hardware 3 in it, uh you'll notice that I said that I found it almost unusable at the highway speeds because it was oscillating so badly. This is doing that just at a much much slower rate, but it seems like it just wants it loves to lane by us over to the left. I don't know why. Um, but it seems like it's attempting to push itself back to the middle again, but then kind of failing to do that and going back to the left again. So, kind of a goofy situation.

[00:06:08]All right, so we're coming up on this turn. You can see there's a lot of blockage here. You can see you can't see this direction from the Dollar General left-hand turn. There's a road across the street where those green truck thingies are. There's a bunch of signage, so it's all to the left. It's very blocked, very complicated. You saw where that guy went right before the the barn. Um, and from the right you can see really well, but from the left you can't see hardly at all. And people are going very very quickly uh on this highway at that point. So, it's it's very scary.

[00:06:34]So, let's see if it handles turning in here. Good. Okay. See if it handles not hitting anybody. Uh, okay. So, let's And now let's see if it picks a spot. So, um I think it's going to pick two spots instead of one, but okay. I guess that's all right. So, I'm going to wait for this guy to get around me in the back.

[00:06:53]Right. So, there we go. Um, now let's see if we'll start self-driving. Oops.

[00:06:59]Okay. Start self-driving. Okay. So, now it should hopefully back up and avoid this guy who's coming out here. And so, it did that much much better. The last time it put us in that parking lot back there and then I think if I recall it actually went through the parking lot backwards. So, it drove that way and then out again. Um, let's take a look at how it handles these trees. There's tree branches in the road. Let's see how it handles the U-turn, first of all. So, very nicely done. And notice there's all these tree branches in the road. Did a good job of avoiding those. Uh, that's fantastic, right? You don't want the car just plowing through the trees and scratching itself up and everything. I know this is kind of a tank, but still.

[00:07:33]Okay, so now I got to pay attention.

[00:07:36]This is this is where it gets for real for real. Um, so yeah, we're we've got a lot of traffic to the left. Let me put this to full screen now so you can see this. And we actually have a break to the right in just a minute, but there is a lot of traffic coming from the left.

[00:07:51]So, it's it's staying rock solid, but of course, I got my foot hovering over the brake in case I need to intervene. This this, of course, is my least favorite part of the test drive because it's it's scary. Um, but it's been handling it well. So, you can kind of see these guys coming around just enough time. There's like a break. Okay. After this Nope, not after this truck. Yeah, as soon as I think there's a break, there's some other people coming. But the car is being really good. It's not jittering.

[00:08:16]It It's being um uh I don't know what.

[00:08:19]It's just locked in. It's just sitting here. It's just waiting. Okay. After this white van, it should be able to go from this direction. And it went then.

[00:08:27]Let's see how it does it in terms of speed. And it handled that Chevy there.

[00:08:30]And it went across the middle lane. Not what I want to call it, but anyway, that was good. I I still think it could have punched it just a little faster. It's one of those things where I'm like, the second we're out there in traffic, if somebody comes around that corner really fast, it's going to be very uncomfortable. And so, I would rather that it is even more aggressive. I don't care if it pushes me back in the seat a little bit in that sort of situation.

[00:08:55]Again, especially I'm in Mad Max mode here, right? I'm not um I'm not sitting here in uh kind of chill mode or something. Even in chill mode, I would prefer that. Again, notice that we are lane biasing heavily towards the left.

[00:09:07]We're not over the line, but we're really close. And it it always makes me the most nervous going in the far lefthand lane because of course we're the closest to oncoming traffic, which means that the variability, right, the delta and the speed is very, very high between somebody coming at me at 50 mph and me going 50 the other direction.

[00:09:25]That's 100 mph delta in speed. And I would prefer not to be biasing over here. I'd much rather be over in that direction. But again, you can see quite clearly that it is biasing this direction. And I I just don't know why this has been such a problem. It seems like they have issues and then they release a point release and it gets better and then they release another point release and it gets worse again and it kind of oscillates back and forth between getting better about that lane biasing and not. But that is distinctly right now this, you know, this is making me feel very uncomfortable driving this close to this BMW. There's no reason why we should. It's so aggressive to be over here. Uh, and it it really doesn't need to be over like that. It needs to be it it feels like it's trying to edge into their lane constantly and it's making me very uncomfortable. I think if I were driving this and not doing a test right now, I would disengage it. In fact, actually, I'm actually feeling it very slightly oscillating back and forth. So, there's something weird going on with that. And again, don't have it in our Model Y yet, but I have never had any problem with the Model Y. It's always been lock, you know, lock, stock, and barrel right in the middle. And now it seems to have gotten itself a little bit more in the middle. So it was weird. It was it was really heavily over there.

[00:10:36]That BMW was not giving any ground. He was like actually kind of aggressively coming towards me. I think he was like, "This is my lane. Don't you get over here." Um, but it I felt it kind of You probably didn't couldn't see it. But it it went like this just a little bit and then kind of adjusted itself and moved over. So it's kind of odd. And I'll have to see over time if perhaps it just needs to sort of recalibrate itself or something like that where it just needs to kind of adjust and get used to it and then it'll be better. So maybe in a couple of days we'll actually see that uh full self-driving 14.3 without even an update will actually be better about that lane biasing. But it is definitely something that makes me feel very uncomfortable when it happens. I I I prefer that it doesn't do something like that. So okay. So, a lot of construction here. You can see there's just everything's under construction right now. It's crazy town. Um, but the actual highway, the the place, the bridge is actually a straight shot now, but it is down to 55. So, we're going to watch that. I am expecting I will have to quasi intervene. Although, I did notice that full self-driving your streak, it doesn't it doesn't care if you back it off from bad to like standard mode or something like that. So, you'll see the streak will actually continue. Uh, I discovered that this morning just as I was driving and everything. So, the other thing that's really cool though while we're doing this is you can hit this button and let's see. It takes a it takes a moment for it to pop up, but let's see. Hopefully, it'll do it. Uh, yeah, I'm not exactly sure why it's not doing that. There's like a whole statistics thing that pops up and I'm not positive why. I think I might have to back off here a little bit. I don't know. These guys are going slow enough, but I I don't I don't want to be going faster than 75 on this road. Yeah, this is weird. So, I don't know exactly why.

[00:12:22]Um, it I I don't know. I'm just going to let it go for a minute because the last time it did it, it took like five or six seconds, but this time it's longer and then it popped up this really cool statistics thing that showed all these stats. So, that was pretty neat, but it doesn't appear to be doing that right now. Let me go to like charging and then back to here. Yeah, I don't that's not working particularly well. And it's too bad cuz it did work for a moment this morning and I was like, "Oh, that's super cool." It brought up all these stats about your full self-driving and I don't know quite why it's not doing that now. So here you can see we're about Yeah, we just hit a 55 going 77. So I'm going to pull this back to chill to like force it to go slower. It does go into the slow lane which is very aggressive cuz again that guy's behind us. He's probably going to honk at me. So it's it's like I just wish that they would give us two separate profiles. I want a speed profile and I want an assertiveness profile. And I want the two of them to not have they're orthogonal. They they well they're somewhat correlated. People who generally drive faster. Yeah. Okay. So there's some correlation. They're not fully orthogonal, but you could consider them that way. So you can have speed on one axis and you can have assertiveness on the other axis. Uh JC actually has posted some really cool stuff. He suggested that it should be like a volume control. So uh assertiveness um I think assertiveness was just in kind of big chunks like you know chill standard hurry. And I'm going to pull it back up to her right now. Uh, but that he said that like speed should basically be like like a volume control where it should have like a pretty big range, like maybe 10 or 11 little things that were letting you adjust exactly what your preference was for speed. And I think that's good cuz people have very very fine preferences. And I have fine preferences. I'm I have different preferences on highways versus major back major like city roads versus back roads versus neighborhoods, things like that, right? There's there's different preferences for different environments and so I prefer to be able to dial those in. So anyway, um yeah, I don't know. It's really a shame. I don't know why this isn't working. It did work the first time I used it, but then it hasn't worked since then, and that's really a darn shame.

[00:14:32]I'll see. up. Oh gosh, we just pulled out right in front of a police car.

[00:14:37]Don't want to be pulling out in front of a police car.

[00:14:42]So, this guy's going to get pissed off at me and he's going to pull me over just cuz he's annoyed at me. So, anyway, yeah, that was bad car. I would intervene if it weren't for doing this test. So, you'll see the cop is going to go right by me right here and he's going to be all pissed off. So, in fact, I'm probably going to be like, I didn't have anything to do with driving that fast, buddy. So, uh yeah. So anyway, that's the kind of thing where the car's got eyes in the back of its head. It should know that. Uh, it should be adjusting for it without me having to even think about it. It should have noticed that before I did. I noticed it before it did. In fact, I don't even know if it notices, but it's definitely something where it needs to um it's also a little bit active about the lane changing right now. So, it's kind of weird cuz it gets into this half mile range. And I actually disagree with this. This is a spot too where it needs to hug the left lane or stay in the left lane until after. This is a super long merge and it needs to stay in this lane uh the left lane until after the merge is over and then merge over because there's just too much congestion and stuff going on until that happens. So anyway, I'm glad the police officer was in a bad mood because I noticed that we pulled around, sped up right in front of him, and then slowed down again. So I would have been like, "Hey officer, it's the car driving. I don't know what's going on. But this is again something where the the car it's got a it's got a rear view camera. It can see that guy.

[00:16:01]It was very obvious. He was not a stealth police car. It was clearly labeled police. And it's something where the car should know that and should know enough to back off no matter what mode you're in to back off to the speed limit at that point and get out of the way so that the police officer can get around.

[00:16:16]So yeah, disagree about that. Athens, Clark County, if any of you guys happen to be watching this, you can be like, "Oo, bad car." So, let's see what happens here. Let's see if it pulls out behind this Honda. It should actually pull out about now and get in front of this truck. Let's see if it does it. I'm going to put it in MadMax mode. No, it did not. Okay. Very interesting. I definitely would have. So, you can see there's some construction here. So, we're going to Maybe it was taking account of that construction. Sorry. I again ah that's annoying. So, and again, I'll put it in the full mode, but yeah, we could have gotten out earlier because we were um Okay, so that guy's waving me on. He's Sorry. There we go. I was like, the guy was actually waving me on, but the car was not going. I don't know if it just went because it decided there was enough room finally or not. But anyway, that was uh that was a bad move on the car's part. It should have gone faster. So, the guy was being super nice about it, but uh or the car was not taking it up. Again, under normal circumstances, I would have disengaged or what I would have done is tap the accelerator. Actually, I wouldn't have disengaged. I would have just tapped the accelerator. Again, you can notice all the construction stuff going on. Uh, this was around the corner this morning, so they're here now, but there was a flag in. So, I'm kind of hoping that that's the situation. Oh, good. Okay, so you notice the car started to get over but stayed in this lane, which was appropriate because we were just about to hit this lane. It would have been stupid for it to go all the way over and back again. Oh, shoot. Unfortunately, it looks like they have left the area up here cuz it was really cool cuz the right lane was blocked where I was going and then when the guy waved me by, it actually went. So, um, so yeah, here we go. Yeah, unfortunate. That's too bad.

[00:17:54]It would have been really cool if I caught that on film. I actually did catch it on the the dash cam, but doesn't do a lot of good with just the dash cam, but it was really cool cuz you could see how the guy it was sitting there and then when the guy waved, it actually went out into the other lane and went around. So, that was super super cool.

[00:18:11]Okay, my voice is scratchy here.

[00:18:16]It's been weird weather. It didn't rain for like two months and now it's basically raining every single day and the weather has gotten disgusting. It's 32. Really, really humid. Really disgusting. Okay, so let's see how it handles these tree branches. So, notice these tree branches and it used to hit those, but now it's kind of getting around. So, I think that's doing a better job in terms of those um things hanging in the road. So, those are fairly subtle ones, but it did a really good job. And then this morning when I came here, it did a really good job of uh actually Oh, there's no construction up here either. Darn. All the places that there were construction, they moved it except for that one there, but that was kind of boring cuz it was just going in a different lane. But anyway, it worked. So, uh this morning anyway, it it actually backed into a parking place. So, we'll see if it backs into one or it goes in face forward. It seems to 50/50 it. It seems to like going either direction, but we will find out if it wants to go backwards or go forwards. Oh, it's me. All right.

[00:19:12]So, let's see. We're going to back in.

[00:19:14]All right. We're backing in today. So, there we go.

[00:19:18]And it kind of missed the spot. Maybe it'll be able to recover. Let's see if it recovers. You can see if I were it, I would pull forward and try again. But let's see what it decides.

[00:19:32]I guess that was close enough. I don't know. I would adjust that cuz I'd want to feel a little bit better about that.

[00:19:37]Okay, so let's go on. Let's go to school now and go to work. And um it's summertime, so I actually don't know what the situation with the parking garage is going to be. I'm assuming it will be a little bit less crowded than normal.

[00:19:52]Apologies. And pulling out. Notice it doesn't make a full Nitsa stop when it leaves things. Those are implied stop signs. And so I believe that the law is actually the same. But I think Tesla's sort of like, you know what, we don't have to because that's not an official stop sign. So we don't have to have to Let's see how it handles this. Oh, the road work right there. Yeah. So they move to the road work right there. Um anyway, so you can tell that they don't actually stop. They It's like It's like it does a traditional roll. It feels so awkward to stop and it's a you guys have got to relax that rule a little bit.

[00:20:24]rolling it at a mile or two an hour when there's nobody else around like this right here is just weird. And it actually causes problems because if somebody was in that right lane right now, they wouldn't know what to do with me cuz they would expect me to kind of push myself forward if I got here first, right? They would be expecting me to go faster than I am.

[00:20:44]By the way, interesting story up here.

[00:20:45]You can see the mail truck up here.

[00:20:47]These electric mail trucks, I guess they have the weird duck bill thingy that they do because of children supposedly making that lower like that was supposed to be a safety factor so that if you hit like a person or especially a kid that they would they would fold over sort of like what the Cybertruck does. It's a lower hood and so you can fold over it instead of the big flat, you know, uh, grill where you would smack into it. The other interesting part about it is that I I found out that the previous the gas versions of the uh mail trucks, the the ones that are still around, the gas versions were made by um uh Grumman, by North Grumin. And that means nothing except that Northrup Grumman of course made the F4F Wildcat and the F6F Hellcat. And I can't remember the name of the jet that fought in the Vietnam War, but most importantly, they made the um Apollo lunar module, the uh the the limb that went down to the moon and came back up again. So, they made that. So, that was actually a huge thing that they did. And I just um got in contact with a guy here who owns at Benps airport. He owns a Grumman A5B um Tiger. It's it's a certain type of civilian airplane. It's a single engine piston airplane and he's starting a flying club where you can sort of buy into it and be able to fly it and all that kind of stuff. And I'm thinking very strongly about doing that because I think it's just a super cool airplane.

[00:22:09]Got the exact same engine as a Cessna in it as a 180 like homing. Um but the airplane itself is a much better designed airplane. It has it doesn't have rivets on the wings and things. So it's very very smooth through the air and it goes cruises about 135 knots instead of about 110 which is a huge huge upgrade. So anyway, so small world story about Grumman. There you go. And about electric um about electric mail trucks and all sorts of other things. So there you go. You get a little history lesson in the middle of this bonus. It's free. No extra charge. So uh yeah. So very cool. I I don't know if this is one of their electric buses. I don't know if it is or not, but UG has a bunch No, it's not. That's one of the diesel powered. UG has a bunch of electric buses and I attempted several times to reach out to them to do a video about their electric buses, but they never got back to me. My my wife actually misinformation just yesterday said, "Did you ever do that thing about the electric buses?" And I said, "Man, I reached out to them so many times and they never got back to me and was very frustrated." So anyway, um yeah, if if anybody from UG um you know, transportation services wants to do that video, I'm still totally game to do it.

[00:23:17]I think it's really cool that they have electric buses. I would love to know statistically like if they've saved money on maintenance, if they've saved money on charging versus gas, like all of that kind of stuff would be really cool to find out. So, I would love to know that. Okay. So, I'm assuming when we get to the parking garage, it is uh yeah, in fact, really weird. It's going left here instead of right, which is Let's see how it handles. Nice. Did you just see that? That's so cool. The car just backed up to allow that bus to go through. That's badass. I got to give it to him. That's pretty cool. Okay, I may have said a few bad things about full self-driving here, but you just can't you can't deny that. That's awesome that it was willing to back up and it even with the car behind us, it was willing to back up a little bit to make sure that that bus had room to get through.

[00:24:04]That was badass. I love that. That's a very very human thing to do. I I've seen some stuff in um in the Netherlands where they're using it now, too. And it's really cool in the Netherlands what they're what they're seeing. And uh somebody blew through a red light the other day while these guys were testing it and they the car stopped and and they didn't get hit and it was amazing. Woo.

[00:24:27]Okay, so that was a little little aggressive on that turn right there. So anyway, normally I would go right and go in the upper part of the parking deck.

[00:24:35]It's going to go into the lower part.

[00:24:37]This is a navigation thing. I actually just posted about this just today.

[00:24:42]Um, it would have been, let's see, it does see all those baseball players, so that's good. Uh, anyway, I just posted about this today that one of the big big things is let's see how it handles this because there's a little break here. So, they should be, it should be able to go through, but I guess the Mazda in front of us is not going to. So, that uh we're going to be here for a while cuz these guys are obviously not in any kind of rush. this I probably Liberty University is Liberty in the in the World Series cuz UGG is in the World Series. I don't know if Liberty is or not. That these they're a small university, but anyway, maybe they are. Uh anyway, um the uh the What was I even talking about here?

[00:25:20]Let's see. Are we going to go Mazda? I think this Mazda is just going to sit here forever. So, uh so the car it generally speaking doesn't go into the right entrance for the parking garage.

[00:25:30]It goes into the wrong one. So yeah, I I don't know. This this Mazda is actually annoying me because they've had room to go. And I think if if it had kind of like edged out into the lane that it the people would have allowed it, you know, they would have just stopped for a minute and allowed the cars to go by.

[00:25:45]But anyway, so sometimes human drivers are not the best drivers in the world either. So this guy this guy's a little on the conservative side. Um but anyway, it doesn't go into the right thing. So I was say this is what I was talking about. I was talking about complaining today that we don't have the ability to input preferred routes because my streak, which is now 26 mi almost, is going to get broken next time I leave my house because I don't want to go out to the main road, go across all of those lanes, you know, go through all the lights and everything. I want to go the back way. And I should just be able to define that. In fact, it should just learn it. I shouldn't have to define it.

[00:26:25]It should be like, "Oh, every day he goes this way. I'm going to choose this way." Right? Just like the navigation, it will often suggest where I should go next. And it's it's, you know, it's okay about that. It's not great. But just while it's learning that, it should also learn the fact that this is my route.

[00:26:39]This is my preferred route. Okay. So, let's see how it handles. This entrance is a little bit dicey. Whoa. They don't have the gates anymore. Interesting. Uh, a little bit dicey here because it's very, very narrow. The truck has done well in the past. Hopefully, it will continue to do so.

[00:26:57]That felt like it was really close. I think it did fine, but it just felt really close. I It's so hard because you can't see it anymore because it's like down there. So, you you don't really know. Wow, there's actually a lot more traffic in here than I thought today.

[00:27:09]So, let's see. Uh hopefully it will find a spot. It's doing a good job in terms of these bumps and all that kind of stuff. And and let's see if we find a decent place to park here. So, obviously I I think this is the worst of it. They don't usually have a lot of bumps after those first few, but um the entrance that I come in is here because this area is just not worth going all the way around cuz I'm closer to that entrance right there. In fact, actually, sorry, it's up one level. But anyway, it also puts me in better shape because the main exit to go to the building is up another level over there. So, you know, otherwise, you just have to walk and walk and walk. So, I'm actually surprised this is this crowded today. I did not think that it would be so crowded on a regular day. So, it's clearly taking its time. There are some spots here. So, let's see if it decides.

[00:27:56]It wants to go. Nope. It's just skipped a bunch. I hope we don't go all the way up to the top of the parking deck. I'm going to get really really bored if that happens. Um, but there there have been Yeah, there's plenty of spots now. I wonder if it's waiting for one that's bigger. Uh, I also remember that this parking deck, notice that everybody is nose in parking. Um, you you can't uh legally you'll get a ticket. It's not legal, but anyway, you'll get a ticket if you back in because we don't have front um license plates in Georgia. Now, if you were from New York or something and you had a front license plate like maybe this guy does. Nope. That person's gunning for a ticket right there cuz they don't. But anyway, so you that's why everybody has to go nose in which means that I need to be able to set preferences on this as well that I want to go nosein parking, not backin parking because otherwise I'll get a ticket there. I just skipped another one. Um, okay. That's the spot I usually go out right there. So, or come in and go out because it's just a better spot. Now, let's see if it picks this because it can go straight. Why would it not pick that? Come on, man. That was a perfectly good spot. It was a straight shot. The car could have just gone z right in. I I'm wondering if it's just decided it's bound to determine it's going to back in and that's the only way it's going to do it. There's another spot. So, yeah. So, this is unfortunate. I was hoping for significantly more progress on the parking front. It's clearly just missed another one. We got we got plenty of parking places. I'm assuming as we get up towards the top, we'll get multiple parking places kind of side by side and probably it will decide to park there, but it does not seem to be satisfied.

[00:29:30]It's visualizing them. I mean, you can see the empty parking places. So, it also drives really slowly in the parking lot, right? I I would be going about double the speed normally because if there is no parking, you want to kind of move through. Obviously, you don't want to be dangerous if somebody starts backing out. Okay, I can see up there at the next level, we've got multiple spots, you know, simultaneously. So, there's two together right there. So, if it goes past those, I'm going, well, I don't know. Should I intervene? Cuz then I'll blow my streak. See, this is the question. So, now I'm like I'm like stuck. If I intervene, I've blown it on my streak. If I don't intervene, then I I go all the way to the top of the parking deck. Let's hope that it decides it wants to park in some of these spaces that are much more open. It It's a little ridiculous that it's pulled past all of these parking places. There's no reason why it can't have parked in any of these really. I I park in smaller ones than that because you just kind of have to. So, won't pick the handicap.

[00:30:29]That's good. Now, here's multiple free parking places up here on this next level.

[00:30:35]I don't know. Now, I'm in a quandry. Do I disengage or do I just let it tool around all day long and decide it's going to go all the way to the end of the parking deck? All right, that was a little bit different. It's pulled a little bit wider. So, of all the things you're going to pull into that spot.

[00:30:51]Okay, so again, this is this is inappropriate. I can't park like this.

[00:30:55]So, the first thing I'm going to have to do, like assuming I was parking here, right, would be to um to immediately disengage and then drive it a couple of feet to go so I could go nose in instead of rear end. So, that's unfortunate. Um yeah. So, let's see. Are we done? Are we done? Are you going to are you going to stop? It hasn't disengaged full self-driving at this point, which is very odd. I don't know why it's just sitting here. Anyway, um so my thoughts fantastic about backing up like that.

[00:31:23]It's It's definitely I don't know. It's there's some differences between 14.3.2 and 14.3. I did notice that it was as it was lane biasing, it was attempting to push itself back again. It was like it was fighting itself. You could sort of feel it. It was very subtle, but it was you could feel it. Uh the backing up part was fantastic. The parking garage still completely a mess. Um in terms of giving it navigation and things like that is still nonfunctional and it didn't recognize when that guy was waving me through, right? That that spot where the guy was waving me through from inside of his car. It didn't recognize that at least not at first and it waited quite a while. So so advances but you know but also things that are still outstanding. Now, are any of them safety critical? Maybe the lane biasing one. That's the only one that made me really uncomfortable.

[00:32:14]Everything else was fine. It's more of a preference thing. Um, but that still needs to get fixed for people. Even if you're fully a passenger, you want to have it be more efficient than that. So, there's still room to go. Um, I'm still obviously waiting for 15 to come out because that's when Elon says the big super awesome new model is coming out.

[00:32:34]So, that'll be extremely exciting to see. Anyway, I got a whole bunch of other videos lined up. I just don't even have time to shoot them all right now, including a discussion with Scott Walter about his company that's actually been delayed for a bit because he's actually got to go through compliance now. Talk about being part of a public company.

[00:32:50]It's pretty crazy. Anyway, all that stuff is coming up. So, be sure you're subscribed. Help us get to 100,000 subscribers. Thank you all so much. And I'll see you in the next video. Bye-bye.
