Elon Musk Knocked Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ Off Course

I just drove my Tesla on an 11 hour road trip. The phantom braking kicked in no less than 10 times, at highway speeds on empty roads. During auto-pilot, nothing more (not FSD, not FSD beta, not enhanced auto-pilot).<p>I love the vehicle but the fact that they haven’t fixed this, addressed it, or acknowledged it further puts no faith for me in whatever they’re doing for FSD. They can spend as many years as they want figuring this out, but phantom braking is a problem for people who bought their cars and are using default features. And it’s super f#%^ing annoying.

Just skimmed beginning of article - this article talks about teslas &quot;blowing through stop signs&quot; and the regulators having to recall them for this.<p>&quot;Blowing through&quot; stop signs was a rolling stop when it was a 4 way stop with all roads at 30MPH or less and no relevant moving cars are people or bikes. The rolling stop never was more than 6MPH, and often much lower (think 1-3MPH).<p>We have folks blow through stops signs where I live at 35 MPH when others are present, I&#x27;ve got dash cam of this. No action by cops. But teslas roll through at 0.5MPH, and it&#x27;s end of world. The description by these &quot;journalists&quot; is wildly misleading.<p>What&#x27;s weird, there are issues that drivers really really wish would get addressed because they are bad for quality of life and safety. Basic adaptive cruise control &#x2F; autopilot &#x2F; phantom braking stuff that seems worse not better from the mobileye days (??? - how is this possible).<p>Not sure what solution is. Having some kind of better radar, at least one lidar unit to ground truth the vision a bit more? Better mapping and navigation so it can cheat and for example avoid unprotected lefts a bit more?

&gt; Musk has described the Tesla “Full Self-Driving” technology as “the difference between Tesla being worth a lot of money and being worth basically zero,”<p>I can&#x27;t imagine how a meeting would go if an engineer has to explain to Musk that Full Self-Driving will take a long long time, way longer than it will take him to buy another company.
