Tesla FSD v14 in NZ: It Parked Itself, But Broke The Law…

[00:00:00]Tesla's just released the latest full self-driving package in New Zealand.

[00:00:03]This car's got it. And in today's video, got some challenges to find out what's new, what's improved, and whether or not we still need to baby it a bit. Jump in.

[00:00:11]This is going to be interesting. First off, let's see what's behind me. What are you doing here? Well, I heard there were cyber cabs in the country, but no matter how much I shout at this thing, it won't go anywhere.

[00:00:24]>> This isn't a cyber cab.

[00:00:26]>> Oh, what? What is it? Well, this is full self-driving in a Tesla Model Y, which kind of works like a cyber cab. I suppose I will be the virtual Johnny cab. I'll be >> So, I just shout at you instead.

[00:00:36]>> Yeah, just shout at me.

[00:00:38]>> Well, you just carry on then. You've obviously got some work to do and hopefully you'll get somewhere near where I need to go.

[00:00:43]>> The roots in the map. Let's just press [music] start self-driving. And the first thing you notice is I no longer need to press the brake pedal to accept the new full self-driving. Oh, there we go. I've got to tap the gas pedal. Matt, okay, that's not a good start. I know that. Where where are you taking me?

[00:00:58]Okay. I've got a feeling the car doesn't quite know where it is right now. That's my theory.

[00:01:02]>> Unlike you who decided earlier to reverse around the car park. This one actually is. Oh, >> can we go this way? I Sorry. We're going to get in trouble going this way. Come on.

[00:01:13]Tesla staff are looking at us. Why are they all right? Bad example. Let's start again outside.

[00:01:22]All right. We're outside. Let's try that again. Royal roundabout. Start self-driving.

[00:01:27]What's going to happen? Oh, look at that. I press start self-driving and the self-driving starts. It's kind of does what it says on the tin, really, doesn't it? Okay, first stop intersection to get on the main road. Then I'm going to tell you what's new. Okay, it's it's going.

[00:01:40]It possibly should have given way to that car behind us, but never mind. It's fine. It's fine. Another new addition with the updates, which I'm not sure is that exciting cuz I'm dead inside, is you now get a mobile app. So, it'll tell you information like your your stats, your economy, but you know, you've already got all that. Do you really need that? Is that worthy of a video update?

[00:01:56]I don't know. Don't worry, it will get better. Light screen, my friend. Okay, cool. Cool. Not a big delay. It's like half second, 1 second delay after the light went green to when it started moving. So, you know, it's it's like most Oakland drivers. First roundabout.

[00:02:07]Now, one of my complaints when I reviewed this when it first landed in New Zealand, full self-driving, supervised, is that it sometimes doesn't indicate correctly when leaving the roundabout. It doesn't indicate left.

[00:02:17]Will it? Yes, it does. Okay. Is that a fluke or is it better now? I'm going to find out first. We got to get on the motorway. Okay. Now, it's joining the T2 lane, which technically is legal, but [laughter] does it know that we're in a T2 lane and that we have two passengers in the car?

[00:02:32]>> Well, it does have an internal camera, so potentially.

[00:02:35]>> Any Teslaologists out there reading this, watching this, how smart really is it? Or was that just a fluke? I've got to get [laughter] I've got to trust the system. This is weird, man. I know I've driven this in Australia at the launch.

[00:02:46]I've driven this properly around New Zealand around the North Island anyway, but it's still weird. If I can say, it definitely even in sloth mode feels more aggressive accelerating onto the motorway. It's not quite as cautious, I think, as it was previously.

[00:02:59]>> Okay, so that's another thing I want to point out. One of the other additions with this update is that you've now got driving modes for the car, not for you.

[00:03:06]Cuz we're all familiar with driving modes, right? Econom economy mode, sports mode, normal mode, snow mode.

[00:03:12]This its driving modes are for the car, not you. So, you can have it in sloth mode like we're in right now, or we can choose chill mode or standard mode. Or if you're in a hurry, you can press hurry.

[00:03:24]>> I'm in a hurry.

[00:03:25]>> Hurry. Okay. Now, okay. Okay. This is fine. This is fine. There's a good reason this car does not have a built-in cardiogram. It would be off the charts right now. This is the same thing when I got behind the wheel the first time.

[00:03:38]Heart rate's off the scale, but after a while, you calm down and you get used to it and you start to relax. Okay. So far so good. We're in a nice empty space. I can relax a little bit. Okay, we're changing back into this lane.

[00:03:52]I expect that's probably because it's in hurry mode. It's looking for any possible way to get ahead. Thing is, we're not going to be getting off the motorway for another kilometer or so.

[00:04:00]So, it has to stay in this lane.

[00:04:01]>> Unlike 90% of Oakland drivers, it's quite happy to sit in the left lane.

[00:04:04]>> Yeah. Well, I do that. I don't mind if I'm in the chill mode. I'll stay in the left lane. But, we are in hurry mode.

[00:04:10]So, come on, man. Hurry. And while we're hurrying along in hurry mode, there is also another addition which if I press the self-driving button, we've now got options at our destination. So, normally when you drive in full self-driving, supervised, it would it would just get you to your destination and then you've got to figure it out. Uh, but now, uh, you've got options such as pull over on the side of the road, go to a car park, stop on the street, or go into a driveway. You've got options. And I'm quite curious to see what happens. What should we choose?

[00:04:40]>> Well, we're going to supermarkets.

[00:04:41]Obviously the car park.

[00:04:42]>> Car park. Let's do car park. It's selected. That's it. I'll close that.

[00:04:45]And now it really is quite enthusiastic.

[00:04:47]It is breaking the law a little bit there, isn't it? [laughter] Okay. Now, that is supposedly adjustable. You can adjust the speed over speed that you want it to do. I'll go and dive into the settings and turn that down a little bit cuz I do not want a speeding ticket. That's the thing. I should point out that the car is driving itself right now, but legally I'm at fault. If the car speeds, if I get a speeding, the car gets a speeding ticket, I should say. It's Muggin who has to pay it cuz it's me. The meatag behind the wheel is the cause officially legally. Okay, that's cool. So far so good. Another roundabout.

[00:05:20]Okay.

[00:05:23]How are you feeling?

[00:05:24]>> Good.

[00:05:24]>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, fine. It's me, this [laughter] I'm the one at fault legally.

[00:05:28]>> So far, it's doing better than 90 Uber drivers I've had this month.

[00:05:31]>> That's a good point. Yeah. This is bizarre, man. I can't believe it. It's It's doing a really good job. I'm looking forward to seeing once we get to Pack and Save in Royal Oak. We're going to be going through the Royal Oak roundabout. Ah, now here's a cyclist.

[00:05:44]Let's make sure that we don't harm them.

[00:05:47]Okay, what's going to happen here? Ah, so it's detecting the cyclist.

[00:05:52]And that's one of the updates as well.

[00:05:53]One of the points that I should mention is that since the update, it's now supposedly much more able to determine people, obstacles, pets, even small animals. Now, unfortunately, there's not really anything we can do here, whether it's full self-driving or human pilot, because there's not enough room to get past the cyclist. So, we just have to be patient. Now, I did mention earlier that there are some updates that I just don't think are very video worthy. For example, one is just a renaming. No longer is it navigate on autopilot.

[00:06:21]Tesla very proud that it's now on auto steer. They do. Okay, there's the road is widening. Here we go. There's a oncoming car. No, you do it, Tesla. So, I'm going to leave leave you to it.

[00:06:34]Watch out. Oh, excellent. Excellent.

[00:06:37]Narrow space, but no one coming. Traffic going straight ahead. Okay, here's a stop intersection. Four-way. Let's see what happens. Oh, look at that moment.

[00:06:44]Of course, there's no traffic now, is there? That was good. Came to a compulsory stop. Didn't doawle. Well, we were there for a second. That's good.

[00:06:52]>> There's a good reason why these cars are better at those kind of intersections than humans. And that's because it can it has a camera at the front and has a camera about where your feet are which is means that it can see from an angle well forward of your eyes which when you've got obstructed vision coming out of intersections makes a massive difference. So the secret is if you want to be a better driver just grow more eyes >> on your feet. On your feet. Yeah.

[00:07:14][laughter] Here we go. Royal Oak Roundabout on a weekday. What time is it right now? It's just about 10:00 a.m. on a weekday.

[00:07:22]Okay. I wasn't sure it was going to see the curb, but it did. Now, am I mistaken? and thinking that KFC is the very first in New Zealand.

[00:07:27]>> Do you want to Google that?

[00:07:28]>> Yeah, you can do it. We I can't cuz I'm driving technically. Okay, here we go.

[00:07:32]Royal Oak Roundabout. My arms are folded on Royal Oak Roundabout. I'm going to do an act of faith here.

[00:07:38]>> You are correct. That was the very first KFC in New Zealand. Opened in Royal Oak, Oakland on August 2019.

[00:07:44]>> See, now this is why you like and subscribe these videos. You get KFC facts as well as cool car stuff. It sparked a massive craze drawing huge lines of customers and was a major milestone as the first large American fast food chain to arrive in the country. I would suggest you go now, man. No. See, it's got spooked now.

[00:08:01]We're just going to annoy people. How long is this going to take? H Royabout might have just bested full self-driving. I'm going to have to do it. I'm Oh, no. It's finally done it.

[00:08:09]Okay, but that was that was eternal.

[00:08:10]There was a couple of spaces that I would have used. Yeah, [snorts] even on hurry mode, I don't think it's ready for royal roundabout quite yet. Okay, see it's observing that car reversing.

[00:08:21]That's why it just didn't go ahead because it knew that there wasn't enough space. There is some intelligence going on here. Just Royal Roundabout, man.

[00:08:27]It's the equalizer. It's the Edward Woodward of intersections. I'm showing my age there as opposed to the Richard Edwards.

[00:08:32]>> Oh, the [laughter] Yeah. All right, here we go. We've told it to go into a car park. It's going into a car park. Will it find a space by itself? I've had my arms folded. This is crazy, man.

[00:08:45][music] Okay, here we go. So, what's it going to do? Is it going to end it or is it going to That's the end of it. Okay, so we've got to take over.

[00:08:54]>> Goes into the car park rather than park.

[00:08:56]>> It doesn't park. Okay, I'm going to take over here. Go. How do I go? Cuz there's no stalk anymore. It's you control forwards and reverse through the screen.

[00:09:06]And it uses some fuzzy logic and AI to determine whether you should be going forwards or backwards. doesn't always get it right, which is why, you know, it's one of my complaints. I would prefer it if just give us the stalk, Tesla. Come on. This This is cool, but this doesn't solve a problem. The stalk just works. That's been interesting.

[00:09:21]That's been educational, but I want to go further. I want to see if I can trip it up at Sylvia Park. That's a car park that is a test for both young and experienced drivers. So, let's give it a go. Navigate to Sylvia Park Supercharger. Don't know which way I'm going. I guess I go left. We'll see what happens. I'll let the car figure it out.

[00:09:38]Oh, look at that. It's automatically going. All right, let's press the button. Took my foot off the accelerator. Put my arms down. There's a bus pulling out. Is it going to No, it didn't let the bus go first. But, you know, we're in hurry mode. So, >> it's an Oaklander.

[00:09:52]>> Yeah, it's an Oaklander. Yeah. Already the car is preconditioning the battery for fast charging. So, you know, when we get there, it should charge at a reasonable rate. And that's a great thing about Teslas. Even the the the entry- level ones still charge at a great speed. This is like bang for buck.

[00:10:05]The Tesla is still a great car. You've got so much range, features, charging speed, comfort, safety. It's not bad.

[00:10:14]So, if you do drive a lot, I would suggest that this $159 a month for full self-driving supervised. It's worth it.

[00:10:20]I mean, that's about the same as what you spend in coffee each month. And your coffee doesn't drive you to work, does it? Greenwood's Corner. So far so good.

[00:10:27]How you going back there?

[00:10:28]>> Yeah. Again, >> pretty unremarkable, isn't it? It's just it's chill. Oh, we're not in chill, though. There is a chill mode.

[00:10:33]>> There is a chill mode.

[00:10:34]>> Hurry mode, but >> we're in hurry mode. I'm going to I'm going to take it off. Hurry and and let's give us some options. What else have we got? Chill. Standard. Let's put it in standard mode. Let's just let it behave. Let's see if there's any difference. Okay. Hasn't it um isn't it a bit less reactive now to driver attention camera? Like you can move around a little bit more than used to.

[00:10:53]>> That's a good point. When I first drove it, if I was looking away, it would tell me to, you know, keep my eyes on the road. I've looked at you a couple of times while driving briefly and it hasn't made any noises. I think it's still there, but I think the previous version was almost too much. And I noted that when I drove it from Oakland to Wellington, I actually ended up with a sore neck and having to keep myself looking so straight forward in front of the car. So, I think they have dialed it down a little bit, but I think that was actually necessary cuz I think it was going too far.

[00:11:20]>> Right. I've seen in China some people have got little dolls heads and suspended them in front of the camera.

[00:11:27]So, don't do that obviously, but some people have done [laughter] it. If nothing else, it's very funny and very creative. One way to get around the camera is monitoring you, I suppose.

[00:11:35]Just don't do that. Oh, so okay, there we go. I was looking away long enough for it to give me a little Pay attention. Did you know that I can actually speak Morse code? I'll give you a demo if you like. [clears throat] What are you trying to say? Bet you understood that. [laughter] >> I'm sorry.

[00:11:51]>> I'm not paying extra for that skill. You could add an extra stop using Grock.

[00:11:55]>> Oh, can you? Okay. Well, that's the thing. That's another thing I should point out that's cool. This car has Grock built in. Like check this out. How are you feeling today, Grock?

[00:12:02]>> I'm feeling great, thanks. Full of energy on this Friday morning. How about you?

[00:12:07]>> I was fine until an AI voice pretended it had emotion. Okay, I've got a question for you, Grock.

[00:12:13]>> Does full self-driving know if there is a passenger in the back to allow it to use the T2 lanes in Oakuckland?

[00:12:21]>> No. Full self-driving doesn't detect backseat passengers for T2 lanes in Auckland.

[00:12:26]>> So, it just made a mistake. for road be.

[00:12:28]>> It just wanted to be in the leftmost lane.

[00:12:31]>> Okay, that's interesting. So, yeah, it just made a a fairly harmless mistake because we didn't break any laws. We got two people in the car. The car just didn't know it. It's just a fluke. Tell you what, like I said, my heart rate's starting to come down a little bit. I'm feeling more calm. The car's, you know, the freakiness is starting to subside.

[00:12:46]Oh, red light. It saw it. It saw it instantly. You notice how the light went orange and instantly the car started decelerating like that. That's faster than humans reaction. Well, at least most humans, I'd say. And we're off.

[00:12:57]Another update in this update is that supposedly it's easier to add midtrip stops now because supposedly according to the literature, there's a plus button you can add and it simply just adds a destination. But it doesn't seem to be there on the screen. Any Teslaologists out there know where is it hidden? The update says it's right here on the screen.

[00:13:14]>> But you could use voice command to do it.

[00:13:16]>> Of course I could. Yeah.

[00:13:17]>> Supposedly another update that's interesting is smart summon. It now goes faster up to 13ks an hour on smart summon. I reckon smart summon's probably one of those things that you you use once or twice to show off to your mates and then never again. I mean, have you used it more than once or twice? It's like the rotating screens on BYD cars.

[00:13:34]You know, are pulling it out of cars because it's one of those things that turns out the research shows that BYD drivers love it. They just don't use it.

[00:13:41]So, taking it out. All right, we're getting on the motorway now. My hands are folded. Look at that. I could just wave to people. Hi, everyone. Look at that. I've got no hands. No hands. Nope.

[00:13:48]No hands. Look at that. This is wicked.

[00:13:50]Like the legit that goofy smile on my face is legit. Oh, it might be wiped off pretty quick cuz we're about to join state highway 1. No, it did. It did everything right. It got up to speed efficiently.

[00:13:59]>> Definitely more confident than the last version.

[00:14:01]>> Yeah, absolutely.

[00:14:02]>> A lot more aggressive stand.

[00:14:04]>> Okay, we're all over the place now. It is alerting me. It sort of forced its way in there. I mean, there was heaps of space behind the car behind us, but it sort of forced in front of it instead.

[00:14:13]That was a little bit of a dick move there. Full self-driving. Was that you, Grock?

[00:14:17]>> Are you going to go hurry mode or >> No, we're not even hurry mode. Let's Let's see what happens if we put it into hurry.

[00:14:23]Okay, it's instant and we're hurrying.

[00:14:25]Criy, I don't know where to put my hands. I wouldn't like it to slow down a little bit cuz 105 is speeding and and it's my fault right now. I am breaking the law on camera and I don't like that.

[00:14:37]Help.

[00:14:39]Help.

[00:14:39]>> You can use the you can use the thumb wheel on the right.

[00:14:43]>> My god. Yes, of course. This is a good example of what happens when Gavin panics. Logic go out goes out the window and I start panicking. Yeah. Thank you, Richard. I appreciate that. This drives like a like an actual a decent driver and not in terms of pulling in front of people, but I mean in terms of assertiveness. It sees a space and it goes for it. It's not sitting like it did at Royal Oak Rabout.

[00:15:00]>> Now, if we can switch to Richard Cam in the back for a second. If I shoot down here and look at the rear screen, it shows me on the rear screen where we're going how far we are away and the arrival time. Now, I'm taking a wild guess that that is a little bit of preparation for when these things can go and drive themselves around as taxis.

[00:15:17]interesting cuz I can't see the screen down there. Of course, there's a screen that Richard has got. He can adjust music and play games and all kinds of stuff. But it also so gives you >> tells me when we're going to get there, which is what you'd expect in a self-driving taxi.

[00:15:30]>> Intriguing. If you are by any chance an Uber driver watching this, what do you think about this? What does this mean to you? In theory, this seems like a godsend or is it is it threatening? Tell me. Well, I guess in theory any Uber driver that is using this in their day-to-day driving is training Tesla to overtake Uber drivers.

[00:15:49]>> That's a good point.

[00:15:50]>> Out of a job.

[00:15:50]>> Yeah, you're training a replacement, which is it's kind of an off-hand comment, but that that's actually kind of frightening. Okay, I think I'm just having an existential crisis now. This car is so good. Why do we need Uber drivers? Let me just check our arrival options now. We're going to go into Oh, Charger. Oh, that's one of the options.

[00:16:06]Sylvia Park charger. Brilliant. Will it take us there, though? Because last time I tried to get into Sylvia Park, not only did it indicate right when I turned left, but it also stopped at the entrance to the car park, it just got spooked and the steering wheel went wa and it gave up. What's coming up, however, this is what I really want to see. First time I tried to get into Sylvia Park on full self-driving many, many months ago, it gave up in a panic at the bottom of the ramp. Let's see what it does now.

[00:16:32][laughter] This is crazy, man. Here we go. All right, hands on standby.

[00:16:37]indicating here we go. Here we go. What are you going to do? You going to give up in a panic like last time? Oh, it's going. It's continuing, man.

[00:16:44]>> On the screen, it actually says which level it's going to above now.

[00:16:50]>> Site located on level three.

[00:16:51]>> Okay. I'm guessing it's going to have to do a whole loop around the car park because the way to get up is a very hard left turn and we can't do it. Not especially not in a Tesla because let's be honest, these things do have turning circles like the Titanic. Let's be glad there's no icebergs in here because we've got very, very tinted rear windows. The chances are you probably can't see me or Richard in the back right now. It is darker than my sense of humor in here.

[00:17:11]>> I can assure you you're still here though.

[00:17:18]>> It's just searching the car park now.

[00:17:20]>> I think [music] I think this one is I'm not fail, but I'm not sure it's it's trained yet to find a charger.

[00:17:26]>> No. What are we doing? We're going through the >> driving through the disabled spaces and the walkway. Okay, cool. Good. Yeah, why not? Oh, there's a person on the road.

[00:17:35]Nope. That's spotted the person on the road. No, you're all right. You're good.

[00:17:38]You're good. Is it going to It's going to hit the curb. Is it okay? I'll shut up. The car knows itself to a millimeter better than I do. I didn't think it was going to make that.

[00:17:49]Obviously, it didn't the first time, so it had another go. That's demonstrating a little bit of actual artificial intelligence.

[00:17:58][music] >> Oh, it is. It is going to try and back in. Is it going to do it by itself? Look at that. It's doing it by itself. Wow, that is crazy.

[00:18:08]Oh, that is some precise parking. That makes my OCD gland tingle. Okay, but it's not going to plug itself in yet, is it? Well, that was easy. Next stop, the Vioideuct. We're going to go through the guts of Oakland downtown. First of all, choose our destination. Oh, actually, you know what? I can use it by voice.

[00:18:24]Why am I using fingers? That's old school. Here we go. Navigate to the vioaduct in Oakland. I'm just going to press go.

[00:18:38]I wonder if it was reading the quick exit sign.

[00:18:41]>> I did winter. I did wonder. Yeah. Can it see? Can it determine? Well, you felt that we we t we tapped the curb.

[00:18:48]>> Yep. Just the tire, I think.

[00:18:49]>> Just the tire.

[00:18:51]>> Okay. Needs a little finetuning yet, but this is this is like literally just been installed in this car a few days ago.

[00:18:57]We'll give it a little pass. You know, it's it's early days. It's early days.

[00:19:00]Got a little bit of fine tuning to do yet. But see, look. It was more decisive than that driver did. That driver just made a chaotic hand gesture. In your own time there, Tesla, do your thing. This is wild. I love it. I know there are a lot of people on the internet who really want to see this brand fail for various reasons, but I tell you what, you do have to tip your hat to the designers and engineers of these systems. I wouldn't know where to start to build a system like this. Let's be honest, this is remarkable. That was amazing what it did with the car, but it it did that extra like loop and a half, but Wow.

[00:19:30]>> Yeah. [music] >> Yeah.

[00:19:32]>> That's a very tricky one. Multi car.

[00:19:34]>> Yes.

[00:19:35]>> Here's the question, Gavin.

[00:19:37]>> How long until you'd be comfortable with there being no one in that seat and sitting back here where I am?

[00:19:43]>> I'm pretty close.

[00:19:44]>> So, here's an interesting little thing.

[00:19:46]We I had the NZTA contact me after he uh tested the original full self-driving in Brisbane. uh because a lot of us had said, you know, it's it's legal as long as there's someone in the seat, all this kind of thing. That was actually incorrect. So, in New Zealand, there is no law around the requirement for having someone in the driver's seat of a full self-driving car.

[00:20:06]>> It's implied, isn't it?

[00:20:07]>> It's implied. And what they've basically said is that [music] it's something they'll test when something, I guess, goes wrong.

[00:20:14]>> And as yet, it hasn't. That's really interesting. New Zealand has no rules because initially and this was going back a few years under uh Simon Bridges wanted to encourage companies to test autonomous vehicles in New Zealand. He went to Silicon Valley and said what can we do to help and they said do nothing.

[00:20:32]Everyone was rushing to uh legislate and they just said do nothing.

[00:20:36]>> Okay. So it's still got polishing to do but it's a big improvement from last time. I think one of the reasons they are improving it so quickly is because of the data that we're literally providing it right now. I remember when we first drove it, within a week of it going online in Australia, it had done a million kilometers on the road. That's a huge amount of data they can use to [music] improve these systems. And as much as you hate AI, particularly while they're using AI to probably aggregate and learn from all that data at the same time. So I guess pat on the back, we're all helping >> the system get better. You're welcome, Elon. Just send my check in the mail, please.

[00:21:13]>> Now, can I tell you one warm fuzzy theory I have about full self-driving in Teslas? I think that this is actually a I guess what you call an accessibility issue. You take, you know, lots of people in New Zealand who either can't drive or struggle to drive in the same way that we would. Perhaps they have fatigue issues, perhaps they have a hand injury. Uh, for example, I used to work with uh ACC things where [music] ACC would have to pay for people to be driven to work in taxis because they had a sore hand, which well, it didn't stop them driving. It may be a problem if they had to hold the steering wheel constantly for their entire 30-minute commute. We imagine if they're in one of these, they are then quite [music] capable of going to uh to work without assistance. So, they're able to get back out there in the world because the car takes a lot of that physical load.

[00:21:57]They're still there to react, but the car is helping with that physical load.

[00:22:00]Or you take for example older people.

[00:22:03]Now my mother and my mother-in-law, neither of them will drive at night because the fatigue of looking in the dark, they're slightly nervous about it is a problem. Now that means that they won't go out and socialize and have dinner out with people unless someone can come and pick them up. So, if they have this kind of technology accessible to them, imagine the quality of life improvement of being able to go out and have a glass of, you know, a cup of coffee in the evening with Cheryl or dinner with Steve and not having to panic and be, you know, held up in your home by not being willing to drive at that time of night. I think there are some real potential advantages for people out there who aren't always [music] able to drive at every time or for long distances. Uh, at the moment, >> you word good. Oh, here we go. This is going to be interesting because we've got a lot happening here. This guy wants to join and he's going to have to wait because Tesla is not letting him in. All right, we're getting [music] towards Spaghetti Junction now. This is where Kyber Pass is. Gillis on ramp. It's chaos here at the best of times. Now we need to [music] get off at Nelson Street. Okay, it reckons that we're going to have to get into that lane somehow, right? Because we've got 500 meters to make this happen. What are we going to do, Tesla? Okay, now I'm starting to get nervous.

[00:23:15]What are you going to do, man? You need to be in that lane.

[00:23:20]Oh, and now it's a solid white line. We cannot get into that lane unless it breaks the law. And it's trying to, but there's a car there. What are you doing, man? Okay, I've just broken the law and it's the car's fault, but legally [music] it's mine.

[00:23:32]Went over a white line.

[00:23:35]And it missed the turn.

[00:23:36]>> And it missed the turn.

[00:23:38]Whoa. Okay. And it [laughter] So, okay. I'm calling that one a fail.

[00:23:44]>> That was a big fail. It broke the law twice. Okay, like I said, needs some polishing still. It's good. Don't get [music] me wrong. It's good. I'm not just doing slander for clicks. It's good, but it could be better. And it will be. All right. Soon we will be entering city setup, which I believe is still a 30k zone. See what happens.

[00:24:06][music] All right. Now, we are No, I'm We're in a bus lane. Why are we in a bus lane?

[00:24:12]Okay, I'm going cuz we're turning.

[00:24:14]>> Oh, right. Oh, I just took over. Hang on. Ah, >> there we go. I didn't know that. Go, go, go. I'm going to get I'm going to make a go cuz there's no one there. Okay, that was my fault. I screwed up. Sorry, Tesla. That's on me.

[00:24:27]>> There was someone approaching the crossing from the other side of the taxi. That >> But it didn't look like they were making body language. Didn't give me the impression they were going to the crossing. Okay, we're going a little bit quick. This is a 30 zone. Um, I'm going to once we stop, I'm going to get in there and I'm going to change the settings so it stops going over the speed limit. Okay. And stop. Oh, that person's going ahead. Did the car see them? It must have cuz why else would it stay so far back as they approaching?

[00:24:53]Very polite car, >> isn't it? It's compulsory stop. We Well, a compulsory ooze.

[00:24:57]>> Just watching this existing character in front of us there.

[00:25:00]>> I didn't like where where that was going. Okay, I took over there. I the car might have been fine, but we were on a trajectory to get very close to that pedestrian, so I took over. Just, you know, safety first. Come on.

[00:25:11]>> I think it was following its line, but it was moderating its speed to let that person. Okay. Okay. Maybe it would have been fine. I'm not going to give a car a hard time cuz we don't know.

[00:25:18]>> I'm going to observe something I've observed a couple of times now in particularly in China when I've been on full self-driving test there.

[00:25:23]>> Yeah. What's it >> often one of the bigger issues with the full self-driving system isn't the full self-driving system itself. It's the nervous Nelly behind the wheel.

[00:25:32]Oh, we don't know whether or not the car was going to collap. It was getting on a close trajectory to that person. Maybe it would have turned at the last minute, but it was close enough that it would have startled them if they'd seen the car. And I don't want to startle people.

[00:25:43]That's not a good look. Okay, now that person is they're breaking the lure there. So, the car has not stopped for them, but they're a safe distance anyway. [music] All right, we are joining a oneway multi-lane oneway road. which lanes you going to choose already pre-selected predetermined its lane and it's doing it this sort of stuff it's remarkable but it is it is pretty boring on camera let's be honest when it just works what you want you want the dude to laundry right it's like that Don Henley song but if you made it this far in the video can I please ask you to press the like and subscribe buttons I know they don't mean much button it's free takes 2 seconds but it means a big difference to us so if you go and press that button you will be eternally in my thanks all right I'm not even looking at the lights gone green I'm going to have to I have to look obviously, but it started without me noticing.

[00:26:35]>> What was your scariest kind of piece of road infrastructure as a learner driver?

[00:26:40]>> Hill starts. That was the hardest part in a manual.

[00:26:43]>> Mine was the Pameo roundabout.

[00:26:45]>> I was thinking about that this morning.

[00:26:47]Pam roundabouts. It's It's Oh, it's a trick for young players. I was actually thinking about taking this through it as well.

[00:26:52]>> It's gone.

[00:26:53]>> I know. That's the thing to hell. It should always have been.

[00:26:56]>> All right, here we go. What's it going to do?

[00:27:01]Not bad. Okay, that's fine.

[00:27:03]>> It probably didn't need to indicate there.

[00:27:05]>> No, it didn't. That That would have just confused the motorists behind me, I suspect.

[00:27:16]Oh, there's a there's a loader zone. Is it going to put us in here? Oh, serendipity.

[00:27:21]Look at that.

[00:27:25]Done. Done. Oh, it's Oh, look. It's finessing the park. I love it. I love it. Oh, it's OCD.

[00:27:32]This is what I would do probably three or four times until I know the park is perfect. And we're done. That was impressive. And there you have it. I got to say, I'm impressed. And as you saw, it's still got some work to do. There's still a few areas in which polishing is required, like hitting the back tire, maybe panicking at intersections and indicating too much or not enough, but it's close. That's the thing that's really impressive and scary is that it's close to replacing a human. And I think in my lifetime that I will see.
