Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) is an AI-driven autonomous driving system that has accumulated over 10 billion miles of real-world data, making it 7-8 times safer than human drivers; the system learns continuously from millions of edge cases across Tesla's global fleet, enabling faster reaction times and better obstacle detection than human drivers, though users must still maintain supervision and take over when needed, especially in complex situations like parking lots or when the system encounters unexpected scenarios.

He Thought Tesla FSD Was Too Risky for His Wife... Then He Got InAdded:
He He made me fun. Lisa, I don't think you should go on this. You You should not do this.
>> Oh my god.
>> Oh. Oh no.
>> What am I doing now?
>> What is it doing?
>> This is going to be a test.
>> Just a few weeks ago, you saw Lou's wife, Lisa, ride with Tesla full self-driving for the first time. At the time, Lou did not think she should do it. He'd seen stories in the news, thought it wasn't safe, and told her not to take the ride. But Lisa did it anyway. Then she came home and couldn't stop talking about it. After a few weeks of research and a lot of thinking, Lou is finally ready to find out for himself if Tesla full self-driving is really as good as Lisa says it is.
>> Will you tell us your your feelings about this whole thing right now?
>> Well, u do you want me to go back as to why I'm in this car?
>> Sure. He could tell us the whole story.
>> I It's It's fascinating because when Lisa when you first said, "Lisa, come on. You I want to video you and sponsor and everything else."
>> I said, "Look, >> you cannot trust a self-driving car." I said, "You just cannot, you know." And so, I started investigating the technology. I thought, "Yeah, >> well, it's got a heck of a track record."
>> Mhm.
>> So, I slowly started to soften up the and not be feeling like I have to control it.
>> I think Lisa mentioned to you, I have a control issue sometimes. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Me, too.
A lot of us do.
>> A lot of us do. Uh and and so uh and so when she Lisa came back and reported what you guys have done and I mean her enthusiasm for the car.
>> Yeah.
>> Then we were in Salt Lake City and uh we happened to get a Tesla driver who was the Uber driver.
>> Uhhuh.
>> And this guy was a wealth of information mechanically, performance, >> maintenance, the whole nine yards on Teslas. And I was like that was very encouraging.
>> Yeah.
>> Because I thought >> you're a can with a battery. Mhm.
>> Uh but no, these things are self-driving computers.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> So, it's I found it I found now it's like, okay, let's see what you can actually do.
>> So, I'm at a stage now.
>> Okay.
>> You feel open to >> I feel I feel open.
>> I'm open.
>> I'm glad.
>> So, here I am.
>> Yay.
>> I showed up.
>> That's amazing. Yeah. Because I know that you were pretty nervous about letting Lisa go and look at where you are now.
>> Yeah, that's it. I just take time to process things.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. And once I once I'm there, I'm good.
>> Yeah. Very good. Well, thank you for joining us.
>> Well, I'm very excited.
>> You have to lower this down. I had it on Mad Max, which is the fastest speed profile. I have it on chill, which is one of the >> You almost hit my car slower ones. Did you feel like that?
>> No. You almost hit my car.
>> Did you feel like it was that close?
>> No.
>> No. Cuz it took me a while to get used to that. It >> It When it first went out, I go, "Okay."
And it was Yeah, >> very smooth.
>> Well, because to me, I would I would just go a lot wider because I can't tell where the corner of my car is. So, it took me a while to get used to it feeling closer than the way I would do it.
>> No, it's very nice. It's not It's not close to the park cars.
>> Yeah, >> it's got good It's got good uh positioning. I notice the car coming towards us stayed in a good position.
>> It's very good.
>> Yeah.
So when you did this when you did the Uber in Utah, did they use FSD?
>> No.
>> Oh, okay. So this is really your first time.
>> Yeah. Yeah, this first time. First time.
>> No, I'm I'm totally virtual.
>> Yeah.
>> So it's first time.
>> Awesome.
>> And what did you think of just the vehicle when you were in it that first time?
>> Very stable.
>> Uh it's uh acceleration is amazing.
>> Uh but very stable. you you know you look at us easily a wide base is what you want and it has and I think the tires are wider than normal tires so you have good stability on it.
>> Uh the movement on the car is it it doesn't like some cars you feel almost like you're still wavering when you go from lane to lane.
>> Yeah.
>> Just very solid movement.
>> Uh so yeah I I'm very impressed by it.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. We've gone on a a couple times out of Utah. The Uber's right babe twice.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. But this last guy, the first guy was really good, a young guy, and he's more of a tech techno geek type of thing.
>> Uhhuh.
>> So, he's he's showing me cameras. He's going all over the map and stuff. Very impressed.
>> Yeah.
>> But this other guy is the kind of guy I >> gleam on to older guy and he's talking about all the technology of the car >> and the stability and the battery lies and the wheel life and everything. I thought, man, it was very good.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> So, see, I had to process. I changed.
>> It took you about uh three weeks cuz he he made me fis I don't think you should go on this. You you should not do this.
>> And because he said that, I'm like, I'm going >> see what you made her do.
>> This has been this has been our way we've operated. I take time to process >> and Lisa's like, "What are you waiting for?" You know?
So, I've learned to get out of the way.
>> Uhhuh.
>> And And I'll stay in my house and I'll hide and eventually maybe I'll come out.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> We're glad you came out for this.
>> No, this is great.
>> It's amazing, too, on this. This is all real time with the the cars.
>> Yes. So, it this is showing you what it's seeing >> because there's the nine cameras all around the car. This is the ninth camera inside here. And this rainbow road.
Usually, it's blue. So, I just have it on rainbow, but that's telling you that self-driving is on. So, if I I'm going to manually take over really quick.
>> And so, it turns off. It's just gray.
And then when I turn it back on, >> it lights up that way. You kind of >> Do the colors indicate anything or is this just >> No, I just did that for fun.
>> So, yeah, usually it would just be blue.
Yeah.
>> Yeah. So, I just elected to make it a rainbow.
>> All right. No, that's beautiful.
So, what were the things that you learned about with the Tesla?
>> With the Tesla?
>> Because I know you've also been doing a lot of your own research, right?
>> Well, I think the the thing I didn't realize is that the wheels can actually wear out a little bit quicker.
>> Yes.
>> Because of the weight of the battery in the car and stuff.
>> Yeah.
>> I wasn't really aware of that.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, the again the wheelbase which is stability which is important. uh the maintenance cycles on the car and they really do nothing even close to a >> a gas guzzler. I mean it's just you know quite different.
>> Yeah.
>> Um the you know he was going into amperage by way of recharging uh acceler charge >> the whole nine yards. He's going into the power base on it which was uh >> is fascinating. I said well do you have to rewire your house or your electrical?
He said no >> no you just have to have the right adapters and all that kind of good stuff. So he doesn't he didn't install like a Tesla charger or anything. He just charges from the regular outlet.
>> Right from the outlet.
>> Wow. That's cool.
>> I don't know if it was a 110 or 220.
>> Uhhuh.
>> Of course, you have to be able to still have the plug to plug into the Tesla, >> but he was able to do that. But I think that's a trickle charge, slow charge.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Because I think it's only like one to two miles, which is enough. I think if you just kind of drive locally and you're home most of the day, you know, they could get, you know, I don't know, 30 miles or so. as you you have it sitting at home overnight.
>> I think it's I think it's better because there's going to come a time that you want to go pump that a long distance.
>> So to me it's always better to have fast charge.
>> Well, you can always go to a supercharger. Did you hear about those?
>> Well, yeah. Actually, there's a story that Jen talked about her uh one of your tennis friends.
>> Oh, Jen. Yeah. Okay. about going, I think, to Palm Springs, I believe, or maybe Las Vegas, >> and her car, you know, just basically drifted into one of the chargers. She ran out of charge >> because apparently, I don't think she charged it beforehand, at least.
>> Probably not.
>> Yeah. Okay.
>> Remember, this is on video.
>> Got to be careful you don't say anything. It'll get us all in trouble. I don't want Jim.
>> No, I I would say that to her face, too.
>> And she would admit it. She'd be like, "Yeah, of course." and she laugh. Okay.
>> Yeah. So, yeah, when you set your destination, it can kind of uh estimate your your charge level when you get there and it knows that if you're not going to make it, it's going to navigate you somewhere to charge. So, there's really no way unless you really try to run out of battery like the the car is so smart, it's going to plan all of that out for you. So, it's just one less thing to >> So, your your gaps between cars in front of you. Yeah.
>> Uh >> what is it? Do they do it by way of of like one of the rules of thumb is to keep at least three seconds of distance depending on the speed? Is that is it programmed to do that?
>> No.
>> No.
>> Um that's something that has taken me a while to get used to, especially on the freeway because I've always been someone who like really wanted their space cushion. I want a lot of space in front of me. This car doesn't do that. That's one of the things I hope that they will improve in the future or at least give us the ability to, you know, adjust the setting or something if we want more following distance. I have my little tricks I can talk to you about um with how I build some following distance on the surface streets. It's not a problem for me, but it's mostly when I'm going fast on the highway. I noticed honestly it's probably like one second following distance and you know so for a while I was just thinking well you know the car does react faster than a human so I'm sure it's safer than than I would be if I were following that closely but then I also thought physically it may not be able to stop even if it reacted. Um so I'm still not as comfortable. I mean I've gotten better but you know I I still think they could improve that. Um, right now we're on chill, so that does build a little bit more following distance. So, this is pretty far. Yeah.
>> Um, so what I do because I usually on the freeway, so there's the five-speed profiles. So, um, from slowest to fastest, we have sloth, chill. So, this is the second one, standard right in the middle, hurry, and mad max.
>> So, I usually use standard on the freeway. And when I feel like it's getting a little too close, I'll pull it down a chill. And then I'll build a little distance and then I'll bring it back up.
>> So you do your own self adjustment.
>> Yeah.
>> Um you know, but one day I hope that they could just be a little bit more aware of that, I guess. Because FSD, full self-driving, learned how to drive based on humans. So all the Teslas you've been seeing for the past, I don't know, how long have we been seeing Teslas?
>> 14 years or so.
>> Um you know, they have all their cameras around. So Tesla's been recording all of this and just learning how to drive based on all of the Tesla drivers we've had.
>> So it, you know, so I guess people drive a little too close and that's how Tesla learned how to do that. Um, >> so yeah, everything you see is kind of based on human behavior. So the AI has just studied all this video and and learned from it.
>> Interesting. Yeah, >> I know that a long time ago when I worked for Dupont, they had we had to take driving courses, you know, and one was called AIM driving course and they had that distance that three that 3 second distance you count.
>> So I when I was watching I thought well that's pretty good distance gaps here but you're making the adjustment. Uh hopefully >> Well, I'm not right now. No, >> I haven't.
>> No, I I understand it's based on you know the >> the different type of speed speed levels. Yeah. Profile.
>> But that would be really good actually for it to be incorporate that.
>> And did they say 3 second following distance on surface roots also?
>> Yeah. Like if I'm if I'm right here and say the guy somebody's in front of me, when they start to take off, I count one, two, three.
>> Okay.
>> And then you take off. It automatically gives you the gap you're looking for.
>> And then you're you're you're eyeing things constantly to determine whether you're you're maintaining the gap or the speed. And it should be 3 seconds. 30 second gap.
>> Mhm.
>> So if I see a light post and the car passes and I count one, two, three, see, you know, so you see your gap.
>> Yeah.
>> But being a highly intelligent car Tesla, you should be able to do that.
>> Oh, maybe they'll come up with it.
>> Maybe. Yeah.
>> Can I text Elon and make a recommendation?
>> Well, you know what you can do is when whenever I disengage FSD, first of all, there's a new menu. This is a fairly new thing because they always want feedback.
So, a new menu pops up and it goes, why did you disengage? So, you have four choices. Critical, like if something like if it the car was really doing a bad job and something was about to happen. Um, preference, navigation, which is pretty much 99% of the time that I uh I disengage. And what was the other one? I can't remember. Oh, discomfort. Yeah. So, you have those four choices, but you can also additionally send a voice memo. Um, and I accidentally texted you, Lisa once when I was texting texting Tesla a voice memo and it went to you.
>> Yeah. And I think you're like, "What?"
Um, but basically, you can be more specific if you want to. Before we only had that option before kind of >> I know. I saw the thing. It adjusted.
That was pretty good.
>> Yeah. So, before we had the four choices, we only had the voice memo.
And when that guy went like that, I was gonna say, "Okay, >> yeah, >> that thing moved on." I was like, "Wow."
>> And it does things like that all the time. And I'm like, "Why am I moving?"
And then I see it after the fact. Yeah.
And and I'm paying attention, too. But it still just sees everything so much faster than you do because you can only see one direction.
>> Yeah. That's amazing.
>> Yeah.
>> That was a good test by itself.
>> I got an accident the other day.
>> You did? Not my It wasn't my fault. It was off of uh Lost Coyotes and Bellflower and I was with my grandson taking a back from tennis lessons.
>> Uhhuh.
>> And we were going into the turning lane to hang a left on the bellflower >> and some young lady decided, "Oh, I wanted to go in that lane." And she moved over and you know, she clips with her bumper, gets the side of my car, >> off we go on the side of the road. Look at it.
>> Yeah. She's just going, "That was my fault. That was my fault." I said, "Yeah, that's okay." But you were hurt.
>> Yeah.
>> And she goes, "No, no, I'm fine." I said, "Okay, >> but damage is, >> you know, you could probably rub out most of it. Slight little indentation, but >> I I didn't even bother going to the insurance company. Not worth it."
>> It's nice that she was nice about it, too. Stopped and she admitted to it. So, I'm glad it all worked.
>> But if I was in a Tesla, it would have saved my life. Yeah, I think it would have Well, I don't think your life was in danger, but >> but I think it would have swerved.
>> It would have been for me.
>> Yeah, >> cuz I didn't catch it, you know. She It would have broke. It could have done and maybe stopped that accident. She moved so quickly.
>> Yeah.
>> Yes. It's always doing these little micro adjustments.
>> It's quite amazing.
>> Yeah, for sure.
Now, that's another interesting thing.
It didn't It I would have gone into this left turning lane much earlier, but it waited for the lines to actually allow it to go into the turning lane.
>> I didn't notice that.
>> Wa, that's Yeah, that's pretty slick.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> So, so far, do you feel like you're safe? And >> I I feel driving better than I do.
>> And I'm a pretty safe driver. At least I think I am.
>> Yeah. And that's how I felt also.
>> Yeah. Same thing. Yeah, because I was always just a very like hyper vigilant driver, I would say. Um, you know, so I I felt like I was really safe, but then when I got into this, I was like, "Oh, I could still be safe, even safer."
>> Yeah.
>> And not have all of that on my mind.
>> Was that was that immediate for you?
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Really? You immediately felt safe?
>> Yeah.
>> Wow.
>> Yeah. So, when I first So, there's different like iterations of this technology. So, we keep getting software updates and they're just over the air through your Wi-Fi. And so, when I started driving with FSD a little over a year ago, we were obviously on a lower level version then.
>> Um, so it wasn't as good as it is now.
Like, there would be like little tiny I don't know.
>> Yeah. I mean, I don't know if I was ever unsafe, but the reaction was a little slower. I think that was my biggest impression of the old tech compared to this new new tech. So, I was like, is it gonna stop? I'm not sure. I'm just going to stop it just to make sure. So, I would just kind of um, you know, proactively take over, you know, and I didn't know if I really needed to or not, but I just needed to know for sure that things would be okay. So, even though those things were happening now and then, um, I never felt like I was unsafe and I always felt like, you know, it did drive better than me. I just I don't know just needed the extra reassurance that it was seeing things as fast as I was which this newer FSD version has given me. So now I really don't like take over anymore except for navigation like I mentioned because the navigation is not great. It's something that they definitely need to work on, but Tesla's really just worried about safety first, you know, then the navigation they're going to fix all that >> as they should be. They got deep pockets. Yeah. You don't want people crashing, >> right? Yeah. And I mean, it's always going to get you wherever you need to go. It just might take you a weird way.
So, for me, I'm like, "Well, I don't want to go the weird way. If I wanted to, I'll still get there, but you know, I'll I'll mostly take over and just go a normal >> weird's over. Weird's all right. It's okay.
>> Weird could be all right." Yeah.
>> Something you haven't seen before. Oh, wait. That's weird. Um, I remember telling Lisa, I said, "Well, now keep her hand on the wheels the whole time in case you have to take over." She said, No, I know. I thought I know. Thank you for that.
Are you stupid? Can you see my hands? I know. I thought you, you know, I would be like this.
>> I did at first.
>> Did you really?
>> Mhm.
>> Okay.
>> And I always had my foot hovering over the brake.
>> Okay.
>> Um, you know, but that goes away. The foot I I kept there for a while because again, I'm just a more anxious driver and I I like the control. um the hands like maybe the first I don't know week or so I was like this and then you just kind of learn to trust it because it's also kind of learning its personality. So you may be safe this whole time but it just drives differently than you. So it just takes some like time to to just get to know it and trust it. That's pretty remarkable >> because you think about it, it sounds like you're you're raising a child.
>> Just going to watch, make sure you're okay. Oh, look at that.
>> Somebody else had mentioned that.
>> Someone else had mentioned that, too.
You kind of like, >> well, as you were talking, thinking, well, that's kind of what a parent does.
>> You have your helicopter parent >> and you just kind of hover around your children.
>> That's pretty sweet.
>> Yeah.
No, I haven't seen you lift your hand up one moment >> and you look very comfortable.
>> I can't remember the last time I've had to disengage due to like a safety issue, you know, where I felt like, oh my gosh, something's about to happen. Um, it's been a really long time.
>> So, when you disengage, like you're on this this route right now. Yes. You just grab the wheel and >> So, there's three ways. So, one is to tap on the brake pedal. Oh, >> and then but then you have to just make sure that your your foot is ready to take over on the accelerator because with the regen braking the I'm sure that this was explained to you, but it's mostly one pedal driving. So, you just have to be ready to take over. Or you can nudge the steering wheel, which I don't like to do because then it, you know, shakes your car. And then the third way would be to just lift this little uh gear stock up and it takes you out of full self-driving. I'll do that right now. So, I'll lift it up and it makes that sound and now I'm taking over on the accelerator.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> And then, why did you intervene? I'll just say preference. And then I'll press it back down and then I'm back on. And you see that rainbow.
>> Why did you intervene?
>> Yeah. So, they just want to keep getting better. So, I like that they're very um I don't know, very cognizant of communication with their with their testers.
It's cool that if it constantly fine-tunes his capability >> and then feeds feeds back >> and try to make improvements.
>> Yeah.
>> I forget the number, but the rate that it gets better. Oh my gosh. You know, maybe we should ask Grock because I'll get it wrong.
>> Hi Grock. How fast does Tesla FSD learn compared to a human driver.
Tesla's FSD learns way faster than a human. Its fleet has racked up over 8 billion miles of real world data, equivalent to 600,000 years of one person's driving.
>> Humans take years of practice for basic skills, while FSD's neural net improves daily from millions of edge cases across the globe.
Isn't it up to It's over 10 billion miles now.
>> Yeah. Tesla's official safety page shows over 10 bill420 million miles on FSD supervised now. It's climbed fast past 10 billion. That fleet data keeps accelerating the learning way beyond any human's lifetime.
>> Goodbye.
>> Wow.
>> That's impressive.
>> Yeah. So, it it definitely can drive many times better than a human. And with the studies that well the numbers that Tesla has put out, it's shown that it's seven to eight times safer than a human driver. I guess I don't maybe safer is not the word, but less likely to get into an accident.
>> Okay.
>> Based on the data that they've been collecting.
>> Wow.
>> So, I'm going to set this to park on the street. So, there's different parking options. There's parking lot, street, driveway, or curbside if you just want to pull up really quick. So, let's see if it finds some >> parallel parking spots.
>> Find a spot.
>> Okay, that'll be cool.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. So, let's see where >> So, it's making a U-turn because I said 62 and 64.
So, let's see what it does for parking.
>> There's a spot right there. No, it's got trash.
Maybe.
>> Yeah, it might park behind those trash cans.
>> We'll see what Tesla spot Tesla.
>> Hey, Grock. What's the matter with you?
I wonder if it's just going to keep going. Oh, no. Okay, you turn. Yeah, >> it's beautiful.
>> You got to admit that was kind of funny.
>> Yeah. I wonder if it thought we weren't going to fit or something.
>> Well, you know, it has to. It felt that way. But it's Yeah, I'm sure it did.
Because if I manually pull up, it'll show like a box in the parking spot with the letter P. So, I can click on it. So, I know that when I pull up and I don't see that, it thinks it doesn't fit.
>> Yeah.
>> So, maybe that's what it was reading it as.
>> That's all right.
>> Signals not to go. There's a pedestrian.
>> Oh, I was wondering what the hell it was doing. I said, "Come on."
>> Okay. Let's see. It's going to do in the future. I wonder if we're just going to keep going. That's going to be kind of >> I'm starting to get dizzy.
Go around circles.
>> Why don't we try the second street and see how it parks over there?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. I don't I think that was probably the last spot right there.
>> So, it's at that spot and someone took it.
>> Yeah, this guy already took it. the guy in the Santa Cruz.
>> Okay. Um, >> so it's trying to get you close to 62nd.
>> Okay. Yeah, I think that I don't I didn't see any other ones.
>> Yeah, >> those take over here.
>> Preference.
>> Hi, GR. Can you cancel our trip to 62nd Place in Ocean Boulevard and just take us to Open Sesame?
>> Navigation to 62nd Place in Ocean Boulevard is cancelled. Which open spot do you mean? Like Open Sesame Grill.
>> Sesame Grill.
>> Navigation set to Open Sesame Grill on Second Street in Long Beach, 1.2 miles away, about 6 minutes.
>> Goodbye.
Oh, there you are at least.
>> Yeah, it's pretty slick, man.
>> I know it's not.
>> That's one like concern people have had with this latest iteration. They're like, "The parking lot behavior is a little little funny now." Um, but overall, the parking lot behavior is fairly new. I used to always have to manually take over parking lots because it would just drive like a snail and be so indecisive. It couldn't really park itself. Um, so that was when I first got it last year. And then around maybe November, I think we had an update where all of a sudden it was working really great. Parking lots and able to park itself. Um, so it's still a fairly new technology. I think it just had a little minor regression with this latest update, but overall it's still a pretty new thing and it mostly works.
>> They'll keep learning and refining.
>> Yeah. Yeah. So, with every software update, there's going to be things that are better, but then there might be like little micro regressions in other areas.
So, it's always changing.
Like this one I actually find to be a little less smooth than the previous one. I don't know if you if you've noticed anything, but sometimes I'll feel like a little, you know, little jagged motion or something out of nowhere.
>> I haven't really noticed it.
>> Yeah, it's been I think it's been pretty good on this drive. Um, so the smoothness component is always like the finishing touch. So when they when they rework something, >> it's always going to be safety first and then they smooth it out afterwards. So the last one was very smooth and then this one was a bigger build. So it's back to the, you know, the safety first idea, which is a good thing.
But the one good thing is it the reaction times are 20% improved compared to the last one I was on >> which I think is >> like stopping or movement in the traffic and stuff >> or just seeing things being able to react to like edge cases you know something happening >> yeah like it has a faster reaction time I've honestly not really noticed luckily I don't I don't want to be in a position where I have to experience that but it's good to know that it's improved in case that needs to be used.
>> It's quite fascinating the function of AI and what it can do >> in so many different situations.
>> Yeah.
>> And uh this is the first time I've experienced the the Tesla's AI.
>> Uhhuh.
>> All right. Let's see here. Here we go.
>> I wonder what's going to park us.
>> There's one right there.
>> That one is green.
>> 24 minutes.
It wants to turn us left here. Oh no, now it's turning right.
Let's see if maybe it parks us on one of these side streets. I feel like it's going to turn us and get us in front of open sesame and look for a spot right in front. I feel like that's what it wants to do.
>> That's what it did last time.
>> Yeah, >> we're going to be in front. I don't care what it takes.
Oh, that's funny. Yeah, because luckily last time there was a spot in front, but I feel like this is just gonna obsess about like being right there in the front.
>> Can you imagine AI obsessing over? You told me.
>> So Elon said that in 10 years 90% of all driving will probably be done by AI.
>> Really?
>> Well, you don't really like to second guess that guy.
Quite amazing, >> right? Yeah.
>> Well, I think that's a good thing.
You're going to have so many less accidents.
>> Yeah. I was reading somewhere that okay, the leading cause of fatalities for people ages 5 to 29, so healthy young people, are car accidents.
So, I mean that we could just eliminate so much unnecessary death really by by having autonomous driving and vehicles that are driving perfectly all the time, vehicles that don't experience road rage, don't get tired, don't get drunk.
>> Well, even for the older crowd.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, you they they don't renew your driver's license the same way when you're younger. So, >> you know, they want to make sure your eyesight's okay and everything else. So, if you have something that's intelligent, >> intelligent vehicle can self-drive. All I have to do is use my voice and it'll get me where I need to go.
>> Yep. Exactly.
>> That's really sweet.
>> Yeah.
>> So, with the newest update, which just came out, I don't have it yet because they roll them out in waves just so like if there's little bugs, they can fix them before they send it to everybody.
You no longer even have to press this button to command Grock. You just say, "Hey, Grock." And it wakes up. So that kind of makes everything faster and more intuitive.
Um, oh, look.
What am I doing?
>> I'm giving them space to park. How kind.
>> Wow.
>> Oh, wait. Wait.
>> Now it's taking it away.
>> What am I doing now?
>> What is it doing? Is that a parking sp wheelchair parking spot? Okay.
>> I think they're trying to park there.
>> Okay, let's >> Oh, no. No. You're going to hit the car.
>> Okay.
>> Can they get back? Yeah. You You better take over. They're going to >> That is so funny.
>> Did my car go forward because the reverse lights went off?
>> Yes.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah. It start to react to what it see.
>> That's funny.
>> Sorry, I'm not driving. Exactly.
>> It wasn't me. It was Elon.
>> Oh gosh.
>> Let's see if it lets this guy out.
>> It's very polite.
>> It is. Yeah.
>> Courteous >> or courteous. Yeah. What's a better word?
>> Courteous driving.
I feel like it's very courteous when it needs to be, but then it also understands it has the right of way and doesn't hesitate the way I might if I get confused and you know, >> so I think that's a good balance because you you don't want to have something that's second guessing itself and you wouldn't find confidence in it.
And I don't know if you've noticed it has the little pedestrians on here too.
>> See one more time.
>> It has the pedestrians on the screen as well.
>> No, I was watching that.
>> It's quite fascinating the way it picks up things. It looks like like ghosts just kind of cruising around. Oh yeah, they do kind of look like ghosts.
>> They look like ghosts.
>> People have taken this to graveyards and said they they see little ghosts that they don't see in person.
>> Are you serious?
>> Okay, I tried it. It didn't work.
>> No, you did. You did. Did you?
>> I tried it. Yeah, >> you did.
>> Okay, look at this.
>> So, what am I going to do now?
>> I wonder if it's going to know to >> get you up the alley or something. Yep, there you go. This is so cool. So, I can't even get into that, I don't think.
>> I think you can.
>> Well, now >> Oh, he's moving.
>> Good man.
>> Yes, he's letting you go.
>> But it's not understanding. Look.
>> Oh my god.
>> Oh. Oh no.
>> Okay, back up.
>> That guy's gonna go, "What are you, an idiot?"
>> Yeah.
He's like, "What is she doing?"
>> He's laughing.
>> Okay, let's see what >> I'm I'm just going to go like this when he looks.
>> Oh, good.
>> Oh, babies. We'll hit babies.
>> Oh, but she's saying to go and my car understood.
>> That's pretty cool.
>> He's still laughing.
>> No, I'm not driving.
>> Oh, that's pretty good.
Oh gosh, >> that is pretty cool. I mean, it took a second for it to figure it out, but it eventually did figure it out.
>> Yeah, it did. I thought that was pretty sweet.
>> It just takes away all the stress of just everyday driving.
>> Yeah.
>> I don't know. I'm over here sweating.
>> Really?
>> No. Sorry.
Yeah, look at there's some ghost again.
>> It actually people thought they could see ghost in graveyards.
>> Yeah, because there weren't there was no one there. It was like an empty graveyard yet they were seeing these little >> You see people walking?
>> Mhm. So they're like test they can see ghosts.
>> That's the AI totally messing with people.
>> That's true. I think I'll do this and let's see him panic.
>> Oh, is it gonna go the same way again?
>> Oh yeah.
>> Oh no.
>> I was just thinking that.
>> Come on, man.
>> And that guy's gonna be like this girl.
>> Oh my god. Oh my goodness. Let's see if it figures it out faster because it'll see these people. Let's see if it works.
>> Maybe it'll follow those guys.
Oh, I'm just gonna point at you.
>> Just turn. Turn. You got You got a self-driving car, too.
>> Look at Look at >> Okay. Well, that's good.
>> Like, it's that Tesla again.
>> That's funny.
Oh, I see. What is this? What you doing?
>> Okay, let's see what it's going to do.
It's going to do the same thing.
>> Yeah, if it does, I'll stop it.
>> You have to take control.
That was pretty funny. I didn't realize it was doing that. Going around. When I saw it, I'm like, uhoh, it's going to do the same thing. going around the block for another shot >> because Lisa still pays attention to where the car is driving.
>> I'm just like >> I'm with you. I'm like it'll do the right thing.
>> So that's the one fun thing is you don't have to know how to get anywhere anymore. Like the car just knows for you. You don't have to pay attention to navigation.
>> Oh, smart.
>> Oh, look at this.
>> Oh, now okay. It figured it out.
>> You learned.
>> Okay, don't hit the ladder.
>> Oh, this is going to be a test.
>> Oh my goodness.
>> Okay, I'm nervous. Oh dear.
>> Okay, it did well. It did well.
>> Good job, Tesla.
>> This was a good place to come and take a test drive.
>> Yeah, just a lot of unknown things.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Look at this. Now we're back to normal streets.
>> All right. Don't hit the ghost.
>> See, then this guy Oh.
I don't know. Would you have done that?
I guess we had the rightway cuz that guy was turning the right.
>> Yeah.
>> Not only that, they were crawling behind the other car. So, and the guy was still in the the crosswalk. You're not supposed to make any turns.
>> When he was still in the cross. Yeah.
So, FSD does that all the time. So, they don't abide by that law, I guess, because they learn from people >> who don't.
Oh my gosh.
See, so that that's kind of one of those things I was saying where this one's not as smooth. Like there'll be times where it's kind of deciding and you feel it deciding.
>> Should I hit her or not?
>> Oh, look.
>> This is pretty darn.
>> Did you see it adjusted for her?
>> Yeah.
>> You didn't even see the lady.
>> Oh, no. I just see her.
>> Oh, okay. Did you feel the car?
>> Trying to go this way >> just to give her a little room in case she was going to run out or something.
>> I saw a news story last night that in North Long Beach, an 8-year-old got hit by a car cuz he ran out to the street.
So, the driver was not impaired. He wasn't speeding. He was just like, I guess being a good driver. Um because they said those were not factors and he wasn't distracted either. Speeding.
>> Not sure.
>> Yeah. Um and I'm just like what the heck and and then it just made me wonder, you know, how quickly my car would react in that situation because I'm sure, you know, that guy didn't see a kid could just run out into the street and I probably wouldn't either.
>> Do they say the age of the driver by chance?
>> Um 27 or 29 or something like that. cell phone possibly.
>> No, it said no distraction.
>> Not dist So it said distracted driving, impairment or speeding were not factors.
>> That's good.
>> Yeah.
>> Did the Is the child alive? Child 8 years old.
>> So they've tested this. I've seen videos of people testing FSD where someone just like, you know, is hiding behind something and they jump out and FSD does break and sees it right away.
>> Even if you're even at your best, you're not going to react faster than the computer.
>> Yeah, exactly.
That's pretty much what I've learned from driving this and why I like and I luckily can drive okay. Um, you know, my eyesight is fine, so I'm have the ability to drive fine, but I feel like this just keeps me extra safe. So, I just like the feeling of being extra safe and being being a safer driver for everyone around me.
I notic it took it wide.
>> Yeah, it does that. Before it didn't do that when I first got this.
>> Um, and then it started doing that. So, it's always changing.
>> I mean, it was a safe turn. There's nothing in the lane, but it was very interesting. It went to the >> Why is it Oh, dude. Oh wow.
>> Scared me.
>> I know. Like, oh, >> Tesla goes, "Hey, you're on your own, buddy."
>> But it's good it didn't slow down and, you know, get in his way like a past.
Oh, look.
>> You see it moving in his car.
>> Oh, you're getting all the side streets.
This is great.
>> I know. It really gives you a good test of, you know, driving city.
>> Oh, yeah, man. Well, to me that's if if you're going to test safety, >> this is the way you test safety.
>> Yeah, because highway is pretty straightforward.
>> Can be. Of course, that's that's a whole different ballgame.
>> Yeah.
>> Relative to >> with speed. Yeah.
>> With speed. Yeah.
>> Oh, is it going in the parking lot?
>> No.
>> Oh, yes it is.
>> This is Oh my gosh.
>> So, that's something it doesn't read yet. these handicaps. Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> Well, I've got a Bye.
>> Oh, there we go. Yeah.
>> And we don't have to feel guilty anymore.
>> Sticker.
>> Wow. That was pretty cool the way it saw the place, though.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And it knew that this was a parking spot, though. It did understand it was handicapped.
>> Okay. So, let's see how it gets us out of this.
>> It doesn't care.
>> This um this is kind of a stressful parking lot.
>> Oh, it is. I don't like I never >> very difficult.
Tesla's Tesla will get us out of here.
>> Look at this.
>> Oh yeah, it's beautiful. Look at all this part backing up. That's perfect.
>> Nice.
What you >> So, it's going to turn us left on Clark from here.
>> I mean, >> that would not be a good move.
>> Okay, if it tries, I I'll take.
So, I'll turn us right.
Okay. Then, let's see how it takes us to your house from here.
>> So, every time there is no Tesla dealers to take your car to, right?
>> There is. There's a service center.
>> Oh, there is.
>> Yes. So, they don't call them dealers, they call them showrooms. So, you can go and test drive them um and like look at them, but they're not pushy about selling. So, if you were to buy a Tesla, you could just buy it from home. They don't even make commission. Or you can go in and they can talk you through the steps on the computer, but it's exactly what you would do at home. Um, and then they have a service center at those showroom locations, which is where I have taken my car in.
So, you just make an appointment on your phone. So they you can physically take it in for service for certain things with other things like tire stuff like tire rotation. Um you know the tire changes I had in flats. They have a mobile team that goes out to you.
>> So it's pretty cool. They do both.
>> A mobile team.
>> Yeah.
>> Tire rotation.
>> Yeah. So you can So when I got my flats and the new tires put on, I also got tire rotation for the last last flat I had.
>> Yeah. And it's only $65, >> which I think is a great deal.
>> No, that's good.
>> And they go to your house.
>> If if they're if the showroom if the if the people who are helping in their showroom >> are fairly casual, you know, they're not trying to do high pressure and stuff like that. Yeah.
>> That seems to suggest that they're not, you know, anxious for the sale.
>> Yeah.
>> And get the commission.
>> Yeah.
>> And that that seems like it'd be a salary base versus a commission base.
>> Yeah.
>> So maybe they're just being paid. Tesla says, "Hey, we treat their customer this way. I mean, I don't know, but anytime you go into any kind of a sale, appliances or otherwise, people are pushing it.
>> Yeah. Oh, yeah. You were in sales, right?
>> Yes.
>> Yeah.
>> I was not pushy.
>> Yeah. I can't imagine you would be pushy and that's probably what you probably did a good job because you weren't.
>> Well, um, we Dupont that I worked for initially, they trained you, uh, how to sell. And so one of the things I still remember them teaching us is that you you don't have permission to sell anything >> until the person you're you're approaching actually gives you that permission.
>> So it's relationship first.
>> Okay.
>> And one of the percentages or 75% of people want to do business with people they like.
>> That's what we'll say.
>> But it's so true. So I I learned relationally >> you try to gain people's trust. Yeah.
>> Especially when you're dealing with the Asian marketplace. Okay. Uh and especially with the Japanese, >> they don't you don't have a friendship with them, they won't do a like a business work.
>> Interesting.
>> Yeah. So you you had to adapt and it helped me even from a cultural standpoint. Even when I deal here, East Coast people totally different than West Coast versus Midwest.
>> And so you had to adapt to who you're dealing with when you're trying to engineer product and then sell sell design and sell it into their into their line. Mhm.
>> So, what does it tell you about Tesla if it was true that they weren't giving their people commission and everything was casual?
>> Well, when you if I heard sorry, but you're you're saying on the showroom >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. What when I go to a car dealership, they're they're trying to upsell you constantly.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, adding uh whatever whatever it might be five years on your warranty, blah blah blah. So, you're upselling the hell out of it.
>> Why? They say they're giving you a discount or even a deal.
>> So, if you go into a dealership and suddenly you feel comfortable, >> you feel at home, you don't feel like somebody's waiting for you to sign on the dotted line.
>> Uhhuh.
>> And they're willing to let you go out the door, walk out the door.
>> That's really excellent selling. I'll go back to a place like that >> because they allow me to be comfortable enough to say, "Okay, thank you. I'll I'll I'll be back. I'll let you know."
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> I have time to think about it.
>> Because a used p purchase, you're talking tens of thousands of dollars.
>> Yeah. Yeah. So, if they're operating that way, you know, my my hats off to uh again Elon again.
>> Yeah, that's that's extremely great.
>> And doesn't that tell you that they just trust that the product will sell itself?
>> Yes.
>> Like they have that much confidence in their product that they don't have to artificially sell it otherwise.
>> Uh you don't have to falsify the information and lie basically.
>> Yeah.
>> The product will sell the same. Yes, absolutely.
>> What did you think? Um, I'm impressed.
I'm impressed. I I didn't know what to expect.
>> Yeah.
>> So, when you see something I mean I I came job-wise I came from the electronic industry. So, technology I've been been 40 years in technology.
>> So, I know of some of the sciences, but to see it translate to this kind of a vehicle and see it done so well is quite remarkable to me.
>> Yeah, >> it is quite remarkable.
>> Yeah.
>> U so that that's a a heck of a job. No wonder Musk is going to Mars. I mean, you know, the guy has got brilliant people working for it >> and they developed a brilliant system here.
>> Yeah.
>> This is incredible.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. It's incredible.
>> Very cool. I know.
>> You felt safe in it and you enjoyed it?
>> Very much very safe. Uh very stable.
>> Uh it it gave me a good laugh at times because of of >> but I think I think just watching adjust to things. It's like again it's like stops and goes, you know, it's like it's going through a little learning curve.
Okay. All right. I figure it out. Go this way. But then circle back around.
That was so funny with the guy with the cake. The cakes appear laughing.
>> That was hysterical.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh but you know, I feel very comfortable. I mean, when I can come off and feel calm and not like, God, I can't wait to get the hell out of that car.
>> Exactly.
>> I feel very comfortable. So, I appreciate you letting me do this.
>> Yeah. Well, just wait until you drive it, dude. Yeah. So, think about doing that sometime cuz then it's going to be like it's that's when it like really clicks.
>> That's a different experience.
>> Yeah. Is that when it really clicked for you, Lisa? Like you appreciated it, but then once you feel it yourself, >> but when I was in the driver's seat, I was like, "Okay, this is amazing."
>> Yeah. And then it's going to be hard to go back to >> I agree. I agree. But I wanted to really observe.
>> Yeah. No, for sure. Yeah.
>> And and they allowed you to be open so you could talk through it and I don't have to >> so much think but observe. So it it's an amazing vehicle.
>> Yeah. I quite frankly I'm a little surprised.
>> Yeah.
>> How good it is.
>> Cool.
>> Yeah. I'm surprised.
>> I'm so glad that this was a good surprise.
>> I expected more things to criticize.
>> Yeah.
>> You came with your critique hat.
>> Oh, yeah. There's going to be something here.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> No, it was amazing. It's absolutely amazing.
>> Yeah. That's cool. I'm glad you liked it.
>> Yeah.
>> If you've been following these drives for a while, thank you for being here.
