Excellent video, excellent FSD too. How about some mountain driving, grizzly peak/fish ranch road to 24, or better yet drive up Mt Hamilton and down the back way to Livermore.
Yes! But as a human driver I would have pulled in to the median section right in front of the opposing turning lane and leant forward to check from that side instead. That way I would be sure to not miss any traffic coming, but also would have made sure that I had a clear path as soon as a gap emerged. So my 'waiting' position would have been where the car is around 18:10
@@CBikeLondon but that could be unsafe as there is no left turn lane, both the left turn lane and go straight lane are 1 lane, so by doing this you’d effectively block one of the oncoming lanes.
Oh my lord, I would seriously struggle with driving there, so many hazards happening at once, constantly! FSD Beta did an amazing job of handling all that.
It's difficult but doable. FSD amazing in certain instances here, human-esque, giving me hope :D Beware of the occasional sleepy Prius driver (see pervious vid), more focused on bowl of oatmeal between their legs than traffic, in their own form of autopilot. HA!
I'd give this more credit than "almost" handling SF, this is better than a median driver driving in SF for the first time. Great video and commentary as always!
Still so many unique situations it can fail at but this was nothing less than spectacular overall, production quality too. Trepidation around pedestrians biggest flaw but better that then risky around ppl.
Set a day! Pick an exact date. It won't be ready before February 4th 2023. Sleep worthy. For example, drive across America through 7 major cities in their busiest areas, with your children. Don't correct the car once. Impossible before February 4th 2023. Guaranteed
I would also feel confident watching his footage but then I also have the beta and watch other channels. This is as good as it gets and it gets much worse. Not saying it won't get there but any timeline based off this (or probably any California vid, because that's where it's best trained right now) will be over-optimistic. You can check my recent vids to see just how many issues it's having in my relatively easy driving scenarios (I list them). It's a lot ;p
Best FSD Beta vids around! And with narration again. I'm very impressed with v10.4. I think it has a looooong way to go. But it can already do some amazing things. The unprotected left at around 18:00 where the car seems to look behind the truck to make a decision on when to go is simply astonishing. Thanks for taking the time and effort to create these vids.
The amount of effort you put into the post production of your videos is highly appreciated and the reason why your FSD videos are my favorite. Thank you!
@@wendellbrownbrown5968 Yeah, no. Most people don't want this and it doesn't help to know what the car sees on its own. It's crucial to take into account what the human eye can see, as humans will be purchasing and sitting (as well as acting as back-up) in the vehicle.
GREAT video! Glad the weird little laffs are back too. 🙂 It's so encouraging to see this video, where FSD performs so admirably in tough situations. It makes up for the times when I see FSD failures. It learns from successes and failures alike, but it sure is nice to see it performing so well here. Thank you!
Totally fascinating and entertaining. Loved driving down the streets of San Francisco. Brings back memories, good ones... Never too long -- love your spontaneity and laughter!! More, more, more...the visualizations are really getting good. I like the way you superimpose the visualization -- best technique I've seen. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this video. I’m always looking forward to what you make and I appreciate the commentary and the hard work you put into these. Refreshingly different from all the others.
I think when the car is in the intersection and the light turns red, the car should definitely proceed through. Not only is it the legal thing to do, in many cases it's all that can be done. In city traffic especially, the odds that you will have another car behind you, making backing up impossible, is very high. I can't tell how far out in the intersection the car was getting, but it looks like to me, the best improvement would be for it to creep out further, making it very obvious to other drivers that it has to clear the intersection before anyone else can go.
I definitely would have enjoyed an even longer video. These videos are so great. I love the visualizations, the commentary, and the challenges you put it through. Thank you!
Great video, as usual! Love your post-drive commentary, although your last video with no commentary and just the dreamy music during the stormy drive through SF was so cool, my entire family loved watching it (again) with me! Also, your videos are NOT TOO LONG!!! I think most of us that love watching your videos could sit through much longer videos because you do such a fantastic editing job (best of all the FSD Beta KRplusrs) and focus on all the interesting parts of the drive, which is what we all want to see - thank you!
you and Dirty Tesla make the best FSD videos. Thanks for making them and all your work. I now have FSD and got it at 10.3.1. I am so honored to be part of the tester group!
Another amazingly insightful video. I can only try to imagine how hard it is to get the durations of the video footages aligned with your comments on - and interpretation of - what happened. Must be so much work. The high quality of the results speaks for itself. Thanks so much.
You're the best. This was wild to watch. So much fun and so much fascination. Looking forward to seeing FSD be pulled over for the first time in its life!
Just discovered your channel and the FSD drive through SF was one of the best I've seen regardless of location (not too long). I lived in SF many years ago and have a daughter and friends still living there so know the streets well. We have 2 Teslas in the family and my wife can't wait for FSD while I prefer being the driver. Videos like this really help Tesla get FSD right and your efforts are greatly appreciated. ;-)
Hey thanks for all the great work you do to shoot, edit and upload these videos, as a Tesla stockholder in UK (but not Tesla owner) these videos give me a great window on where Tesla is with FSD progress
Thanks for the upload. Best FSD vid ive seen with audio, simulation overlay, commentary and FSD challenging obstacles. Very impressive, I would have been pretty confused in many of those situations.
This is the first time I watched one of your videos. I was particularly impressed with the graphics. Up until now all the videos I have seen on FSD were done in a model three. Having a model X myself I enjoyed seeing this video. I have only had FSD for a few days and I have found it to be like driving with a teenage student driver with jerky breaking and steering.Having driven in San Francisco many years ago on vacation I can appreciate the challenge you have had navigating the city. A couple of the things I remember from driving in San Francisco are the hills and the windiest street which I was disappointed when I did not see those in your video. Perhaps next time. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for taking us all for a ride. I really appreciate the way you handle FSD, your commentaries make the footage understandable, also the way you show autopilots point of view is so satisfying for the viewer, your videos are absolutely the best! Can't wait to see the systems reacting to a police car.
Excellent commentary on your drive. Makes me excited to see how much improvement is happening and beta testers like you are leading the way. Thanks for doing this!
Thank YOU for making amazing and absolutely best FSD beta content out there. It's always worth waiting a little bit longer for your videos. Keep up the good work!
18:00 FSD certainly does see the cars coming up behind the truck and displays them. They seem to disappear in the visualization as they go behind the truck, but I seriously doubt at this late stage of development that it just "forgets" those cars were there and how they were moving. This is exactly the kind of thing it should be able to do with persistent memory and some form of recurrent neural network. I suspect that the visualization does not show "predicted" objects, but only objects it can directly see, and not even all of those.
Very impressed with what the car can do. Even more impressed with your bravery; you must have good insurance. I have 36.8.5 beta fsd and live in the bay area but will live vicariously thru you for San Francisco for now.
Really appreciate your showing us the updates! This is the first I've seen of 10.4 and love the caution taken by the car. It does seem somewhat more intuitive in its navigation decisions but clearly needs more practice with all the different situations. Thanks again!
AI DRIVER, you are the best with these video. You, Chuck, and Dirty Tesla really give us an informative experience! I just got FSD 10.4 today and man it was fun, crazy, and scary at times!
Great video! Some of those moments where the car is thinking or hesitating in the middle of an intersection sure would make me nervous as the driver, but overall it handled them all very well! I love seeing all the other Teslas in the background. Where I'm from (Canadian prairies) there are much fewer Teslas, but that is beginning to change.
I've lived in the Bay Area for decades - Berkeley, Oakland, and SF. I just love your videos! They are perfect for someone considering adding FSD. But - SF! I know how hard it is to navigate SF, and I was just amazed at this video. Keep them coming! And yeah, if FSD can get through SF and Berkeley then I'm in.
Just WOW. 22:50 left in the red was almost flawless for a smart STUDENT driver...minus any jerkiness. Naturally I watched entire thing and maybe twice! Thank YOU Sir.
GREAT VIDEO EDITING love watching your videos from South Dakota very few curves. I cant imagine driving were you live thank you so much for your videos and effort put into them.
Another GREAT one! Definitely not too long (well, for you maybe doing the voice over and editing). :) It's so funny to see these new videos come out such as "Can FSD Beta Take On Manhattan??!!" only to watch a video driving on the city streets of NYC that are all a simple grid on *flat* streets. SF is much more challenging. Keep 'em coming, great voice over and analysis!
My rule for red lights is that if I'm stopped behind the path of traffic, I wait for it to turn green. If I'm stopped IN the path of traffic, I go as soon as I can even if the light is now red.
Great job detailing the use of FSD in such a challenging location. I love watching your videos. I also have FSD Beta and sometimes *I* don't have enough confidence to let FSD run its course in tricky situations. Other times I let FSD run the course but I don't want to inconvenience other drivers behind me too much while waiting for FSD to figure it out.
Another cool video. FSD is hugely impressive and I really enjoy your excellent, upbeat, insightful commentary. Thank you for sharing these experiences, both good and not so... I’m so excited for the progress Dojo will inevitably bring to the FSD development. 👏👏👏👏👏🥳 Hopefully we’ll also be invited to contribute to this FSD story in the UK before too long…regulations permitting of course.
Love your videos :) watching from France... fascinating progress of IA from Tesla ! and so pleasant letting me drive trough San Francisco and listening to you cheerfully chatting on :) Keep it up !
Great episode! Can't wait to use FSD with my Y in SF when it's available, it handles some situations so well, like a local. I enjoy your commentary as well. Cheers.
Love your work, great as usual! 👍 I can just imagine a new driver or someone not used to traffic trying to handle that drive. Eg: my sister in law, licensed for around 40 years but only drives in quiet areas- not a chance! She would absolutely freak out!
Another incomparable narrated drive. Thank you so much for the tremendous knowledge of what is really happening, being learned, even when FSD is frustrated......your drives are the most constructive that I see. A pleasant respite from the now flourishing newbies who just don't appreciate what FSD is doing for them.....focused on clickbait rather than trying to learn and appreciate. You bring FSD truth to the forefront. I hope they are watching. Thank you again.
There may be fewer of AI DRVR's FSD vids than from some KRplus beta-testers, but they're always the most insightful and most enjoyable. Thank you for the great content!
Great video! I left SF in '86 & found out when I returned in '12 I absolutely could not drive in the city. Even though beta, your videos make these drives fun. Thank you!
Can safely say this is the only FSD channel i would bother sitting through a 25 minute video, really good and interesting stuff as always, excellent examples and narration as always!
I drive in SF every day with beta and pretty much average something like 1 intervention every 3-4 intersections. There are certain intersections where it almost always fails (right on Folsom from 7th, left on 3rd from Folsom, etc.). It’s one of those, it does amazing until it doesn’t. My main issue is that even when it completes the maneuvers, it’s often jerky and can make people in the car nauseous to the point where I don’t even use with others in the vehicle. It does much better in most of the rest of the Bay Area though.
The jerkiness is definitely something that gets overlooked in most videos. I was very surprised when I got the beta on 10.2 and the steering/acceleration in turns was god-awful. Happy to say it improved enormously with 10.3 but I never heard testers mention it in 10.2, and that left me unprepared. I make it a point to give feedback on every turn in my vids now, and list every issue at the end. Also, Cali is as good as it gets.
I drove into SF over the weekend, and I have to say that FSD Beta was incredible. I usually get nervous about city driving because I'm not very experienced at it, but it took all the stress off. It's not anywhere close to full autonomy yet, but as a support system, it's phenomenal.
As for the red light I feel the car is behaving correctly. The kicker of course in these situations is to still keeping an eye on the crossing lane (supposed to stop at their now red light), as I've now seen a huge number of dashcam videos of people getting T boned by cars running the red.
Thank you for your video and commentary. This version of FSD is incredibly improved compared to earlier versions. Very challenging scenarios, especially for less experienced human drivers.
Great run through the City. During the 'Dead Man's Left' the visualization did see cars in the opposite lane coming up behind the truck so I think AP used that data to predict the car that appeared around the right of the truck and had already slowed for it to let it (the hidden car) come through before finishing the left. Great anticipation maneuver there. I like the fact that the training seems to be focusing on city driving because that is the toughest environment.
Your videos are always a treat. What an incredible drive! Seeing it do this stuff is incredible. Then mine can't even handle going around 1 person ;p Navigation is definitely a bit faster, which is good. The faster the better. Keep that goin', Tesla! 18:00: I agree with you that FSD was intelligently assessing the situation. It didn't start moving until there was only one oncoming car visible and it had started rolling forward. Super impressed!
Great drive. Video is terrific as is the commentary. Lots of difficult situations that would have left many a human driver pretty stressed out after completing the same drive. I have the FSD production version (not the Beta yet) and my drives on 2 lane country roads are so much more relaxing when FSD is driving. And safer as well. Your comment about the aggressive (likely stressed out) driver passing you at 16:07 is right on the mark. Injecting danger for no real benefit. Once again, great drive. Thanks.
Amazing progress. Thanks for putting so much time into producing your excellent vids (along with helpful commentary 😃). It's really starting to feel like a nervous teenager rather than a clueless five year old! I'm guessing that within six to twelve more months and disengagements will be very few and far between.
“So Close, yet so far.” Your thumbnail quote is correct, but that was really impressive. That was a really difficult drive, and the car got most of it right. Still a long way to go, but 10.4 has proven to be really impressive. Thanks for making these videos!
Great videos and excellent commentary. I have the FSD beta on my car as well and last night while I was grieving on the freeway, my car responded to emergency lights on police cars traveling the other way on the freeway. It slowed down and displayed a message saying “slowing for emergency vehicles”. Might be time for you to take a trip to the police station!
Incredible video! Can’t wait for the beta to come to Germany. Incredible piece of engineering! I agree, SF is the best place to test the software since it has so many corner cases.
Yeah, European city streets is gonna be another level of difficulty. Even way sharper turns, narrow streets, more ambiguous marking, etc.@@jonpetter8921

looked like it was on the visualization
i believe Elon has tweeted that there were specifically making updates about persistence across time and space wrt objects surrounding the vehicle.

Eg: my sister in law, licensed for around 40 years but only drives in quiet areas- not a chance! She would absolutely freak out!
absolutely incredible video. thanks for posting! can't wait to look back on these days in like 10 years...
These kind of videos are the best FSD Beta videos out there, by miles! Please keep that up :)
Great editing! I especially liked the release note split screen.
Thank you!
I was captivated throughout this video. That was fun to watch. Thanks.
Another incomparable narrated drive. Thank you so much for the tremendous knowledge of what is really happening, being learned, even when FSD is frustrated......your drives are the most constructive that I see. A pleasant respite from the now flourishing newbies who just don't appreciate what FSD is doing for them.....focused on clickbait rather than trying to learn and appreciate. You bring FSD truth to the forefront. I hope they are watching. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for the kind words Chris! It really means a lot :]
Good drive, great tests, and smart comments. Thank you!
There may be fewer of AI DRVR's FSD vids than from some KRplus beta-testers, but they're always the most insightful and most enjoyable. Thank you for the great content!
Thank you for the kind words :]
Great video! I left SF in '86 & found out when I returned in '12 I absolutely could not drive in the city. Even though beta, your videos make these drives fun. Thank you!
Thanks! Best ride along/commentary I've seen!
Can safely say this is the only FSD channel i would bother sitting through a 25 minute video, really good and interesting stuff as always, excellent examples and narration as always!
Keep soldiering on! Thanks. Jess
I drive in SF every day with beta and pretty much average something like 1 intervention every 3-4 intersections. There are certain intersections where it almost always fails (right on Folsom from 7th, left on 3rd from Folsom, etc.). It’s one of those, it does amazing until it doesn’t. My main issue is that even when it completes the maneuvers, it’s often jerky and can make people in the car nauseous to the point where I don’t even use with others in the vehicle. It does much better in most of the rest of the Bay Area though.
The jerkiness is definitely something that gets overlooked in most videos. I was very surprised when I got the beta on 10.2 and the steering/acceleration in turns was god-awful. Happy to say it improved enormously with 10.3 but I never heard testers mention it in 10.2, and that left me unprepared. I make it a point to give feedback on every turn in my vids now, and list every issue at the end. Also, Cali is as good as it gets.
I drove into SF over the weekend, and I have to say that FSD Beta was incredible. I usually get nervous about city driving because I'm not very experienced at it, but it took all the stress off. It's not anywhere close to full autonomy yet, but as a support system, it's phenomenal.
Great video. Really helpful to see what it’s like in tough traffic. Can’t wait till it comes to the UK
Best beta tester by far, love how you let the car figure things out in it's own time. Keep them coming 👍🏻
Wow, the incoming car @8:27, it looks like FSD is anticipating incoming velocity as it doesn't fully stop. That's some amazing driving right there!
As for the red light I feel the car is behaving correctly. The kicker of course in these situations is to still keeping an eye on the crossing lane (supposed to stop at their now red light), as I've now seen a huge number of dashcam videos of people getting T boned by cars running the red.
One of the best FSD video's i've seen this. Subscribed!
Thank you for your video and commentary. This version of FSD is incredibly improved compared to earlier versions. Very challenging scenarios, especially for less experienced human drivers.
Great video, great drive, great comments from your experience. Thank you.
thank you for all the time and effort!
Great run through the City. During the 'Dead Man's Left' the visualization did see cars in the opposite lane coming up behind the truck so I think AP used that data to predict the car that appeared around the right of the truck and had already slowed for it to let it (the hidden car) come through before finishing the left. Great anticipation maneuver there. I like the fact that the training seems to be focusing on city driving because that is the toughest environment.
This is my favorite FSD beta video of all time!you and autopilot are getting better all the time. Great work!
Your videos are always a treat. What an incredible drive! Seeing it do this stuff is incredible. Then mine can't even handle going around 1 person ;p
Navigation is definitely a bit faster, which is good. The faster the better. Keep that goin', Tesla!
18:00: I agree with you that FSD was intelligently assessing the situation. It didn't start moving until there was only one oncoming car visible and it had started rolling forward. Super impressed!
Love your videos and the positivity. Keep it up man!
Great drive. Video is terrific as is the commentary. Lots of difficult situations that would have left many a human driver pretty stressed out after completing the same drive. I have the FSD production version (not the Beta yet) and my drives on 2 lane country roads are so much more relaxing when FSD is driving. And safer as well. Your comment about the aggressive (likely stressed out) driver passing you at 16:07 is right on the mark. Injecting danger for no real benefit. Once again, great drive. Thanks.
Amazing progress. Thanks for putting so much time into producing your excellent vids (along with helpful commentary 😃). It's really starting to feel like a nervous teenager rather than a clueless five year old! I'm guessing that within six to twelve more months and disengagements will be very few and far between.
“So Close, yet so far.” Your thumbnail quote is correct, but that was really impressive. That was a really difficult drive, and the car got most of it right. Still a long way to go, but 10.4 has proven to be really impressive. Thanks for making these videos!
I love your setup! GREAT video! Thanks for posting. ❤
Keep doing this voice over commentary. Its really entertaining and much more informative. Great job!
As Sir John Mills said: "worth waiting for". And a good length. Thanks as ever.
Subscribed! Great progress with FSD and well presented! Thanks
Yay! Have been waiting for this video for a couple of weeks :) Always fun to watch! :)
Honestly, actually really good drive! So much things going on that fsd handle correctly, thanks for sharing!
Great videos and excellent commentary. I have the FSD beta on my car as well and last night while I was grieving on the freeway, my car responded to emergency lights on police cars traveling the other way on the freeway. It slowed down and displayed a message saying “slowing for emergency vehicles”. Might be time for you to take a trip to the police station!
I appreciate you letting it handle its thing and not intervening too quickly
Incredible video! Can’t wait for the beta to come to Germany. Incredible piece of engineering! I agree, SF is the best place to test the software since it has so many corner cases.
Driving with this feature on European roads ? Good luck.......
Yeah, European city streets is gonna be another level of difficulty. Even way sharper turns, narrow streets, more ambiguous marking, etc.@@jonpetter8921
I really enjoy your in depth videos. I'm really excited about the future of FSD.
This was surprisingly good! Awesome commentary. Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to share this!
The best stress test videos of FSD Beta by far!
