FSD: toll booths

Can you somebody tell how the process of FSD and toll booths work?

So everyday I encounter toll lanes with mixed FSD results. Most drivers pick the least crowed toll and drive towards it. FSD seems to lunge towards the row of lanes, in the direction of a barrier, and at the last second forces itself into one.

The car use to disengage near toll lanes when on AP. The screen says nothing about tolls now, that it's seeking a lane, etc.

Do we know what FSD sees in this situation? Is it going though a process? Sometimes it seems like it's slowing down, choosing a lane, and is even aware of the gate. Other times it feels like it's trying to make sense of the toll as it encounters one.

Thanks.

11.4.2 Dangerous Incident

Just a note to fellow FSD beta testers of what I experienced today.

I had engaged FSD on surface streets without a destination set and then set a destination. While proceeding through an intersection at speed, the route came in and the new route had it turning right at that intersection (both choices are reasonably similar for the destination and it will frequently go either way depending on time of day / traffic conditions). The car then aggressively began to turn (at which point I disengaged FSD) while going about 35 mph in the middle of the intersection (significantly too fast to take a hard right turn safely much less comfortably). It was only after proceeding straight through the intersection that I noticed the route had me turning there (it then rerouted but FSD was off). This is just a case where the route planner and FSD stack not being fully aware of each other's actions led to a very undesirable behavior (not clear how easy this would be to reproduce with proper timing). This was by far the worst behavior I had seen FSD perform, in about 9 months of usage.

Stay safe out there, hopefully this behavior gets addressed for the next build. I sent in the info with a voice memo.

When will FSD only slow down when something is in front of it?

So I have been using FSD beta for a long time now, and use it all the time, but the thing that kills me the most is how timid it is. For example I can be driving in the middle lane of a 3 lane city street, and a car can pull up on the side street, and FSD will get scared and slow down. Similarly a pedestrian can start looking to cross the road, and FSD will slow down. As I work in AI software, I wonder how / when they will fix this. The opposite of how it is now is maybe the car shouldn't slow down unless the object is actually in front of the vehicle, not just there is a probability that the object may cross the vehicle's path if it keeps going at its estimated heading and speed. What does everyone think about this problem?

This twitter user alleges that Tesla FSD miles per disengagement are far behind competition and getting worse. Is he an heretic? Or is he on to something?

I’ve noticed the FSD is very good at Identifying Trash cans

That is one thing the computer seem to easily label. Now I am wondering if they could create an autonomous garbage truck? Where the arm lines up to the can and self flips it. Then drives to the next stop.

This would reduce the tension/stress of the driver performing all those operations 800 times a day. Allow them to scan the road and focus on taking care of the customer (being a customer rep) vs just doing the job. Doing both manually is mighty impressive!

But I feel if Elon did this and pivoted he would get a MASSIVE following rooting for him to disrupt this industry.

I watched a factory video and the only thing not automated was trash removal LMAO! Great job security but come on! Let’s let innovation flow !

Crazy ideas for improving FSD

  1. Have a periscope that is able to come out of the A pillar to see over cars.

  2. Have a periscope come out of the front bumper with cameras on both sides to improve visibility at intersections. Since it is a periscope , can add self cleaning / keep clean feature when retracted.

  3. Thermal camera to improve visibility at night

  4. Test fovian sensor. It will have better color then current sensors and may have better night vision too.

  5. Use depth sensing sensors.

Please share your crazy thoughts for improvement.
