@mbpHuddle They were software recalls, simply an update like your iPhone

All the Waymo cars have been recalled after 50 of them went psycho in Atlanta. But here's the question: did they drive themselves back to the factory (or wherever they went)?

Wow, just looking back at this and realized I have been lied to 3x where I was promised resolution and then ZERO comms after. Ridiculous.

Recommend never buying third party from @walmart as they not only don’t guarantee products delivered they also don’t guarantee returns - worse, they legit lie during calls by not following through on committed action. AVOID

@EmmanuelAcho lol, the fact that he still thinks there’s a possibility is truly not giving up hope

In theory that sounds great to wait, but the reality is if A&M hadn’t paid him, someone else would have. It’s either pay him or lose him. There are too many jobs and not enough quality coaches available.

I would not extend Elko. And I was one of his biggest champions for the A&M job. I absolutely think he can win big there, but he went 8-5 last year. To me, after just one year, and beating 7 of the bottom 8 in the SEC, he's still sitting on table stakes for what he was already getting paid for.

@nerdalert @farzyness Similar feedback here, wife is back to being uncomfortable vs mostly trusting v13. It didn’t identify a speed bump in neighborhood that it used to see. Def hesitancy pulling out of neighborhood. Just not as smooth as v13, I don’t think it was ready for wide release.

My first experience with FSD V14 was a bit underwhelming. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but there were several small annoyances that detracted from the overall experience. The Bad: -Backing out of my garage / driveway was still too slow and jerky. Not sure there was any improvement from V13. -I was turning left out of my neighborhood onto a busy road during rush hour. There was a perfect gap right when I got to the stop sign, but it was extremely slow in creeping past the stop sign such that it missed the gap and had to wait at least an extra minute. It also blocked the path for a car behind me which was turning right, and then missed another gap a while later. -Several instances of brake feathering detracted from comfort -I tried the drive-thru test and it would not pull up following other cars, and eventually just tried to skip the entire line after I had ordered and pull away from the restaurant -It tried to pull into the wrong driveway twice when I put in an address. The Good: -Highways were flawless. The merging, speed control, and passing other vehicles was markedly improved. -It pulled over beautifully for a fire truck coming from the opposite direction with its siren on. -It pulled into my driveway, which no other version has ever done. It did not park in a great spot, but it was a minor improvement. Overall it was definitely an improvement, and (most crucially) there were no safety-related issues. But I was surprised at how many tiny issues I encountered on such a short drive. As ever, the most important metric from here is pace of improvement.

FSD 14.1.3 just slowed down to 20 mph for a flashing school zone! Really glad that is working!

I'm going to drive to Boston right now to test FSD V14.1.3 for the next couple of hours during rush hour. If I experience no interventions, hesitation, or brake-stabbing issues, I'll be convinced V14 is ready to be sent to more Tesla owners.

I just finished my first impressions drive on FSD Supervised v14.1.3. TLDR, it was amazing saw lots of new scenarios handled successfully, including flagman, street parking in front of driveways where it changed its mind and many others. Unfortunately, I recorded over an hour with my 360 camera cap on so this video will not include the 360 views you have become used to. I will have some highlight clips out soon and the full video later on this evening. Stay tuned! Nice job at @Tesla_AI on the quick turnaround on another solid build.

@BLKMDL3 @bradsferguson Can you report on school zones? This is one that Tesla has not attempted to my knowledge, always have to disengage.

8 drives in with FSD v14.1.2 and here are my thoughts: First off, Mad Max mode is AMAZING in traffic. Drove down to Hawthorne on my first drive in rush hour and it cut through traffic so well. An hour drive without any human input was great. The other Speed Profiles seem like they make slightly more difference than before. Standard is perfect on city streets, hurry is a bit quicker and the lane changes are more assertive than v14.1.1. Mad Max is a bit quick at times on city streets with nobody around, as expected. The assertive lane changes are my second favorite change, after mad max. It doesn’t wait around a bit like v14.1 and v14.1.1, it commits and sends it if safe, love it. I have NOT really seen any brake stutter yet, seems gone so far. I saw one instance of slight steering wheel shaking but that’s it over the last few hours. Few things to note with Mad Max. It’s fast, but it’s very safe. It’s not going to cut people off- it makes great decisions and they’re clearly calculated. It is NOT like the Altima with a missing bumper you see flying through traffic, it’s very controlled and I love it. This is exactly what we needed for LA and it’s almost how I like to drive through traffic and how you have to drive through LA. Lane changes in each profile seem improved in this build too. Definitely noticeably better and more confident. With parking garages, I’m seeing good performance, but to note- 1 of 4 garage attempts so far it went further from the ticket booth than it used to. Feels like maybe .1 had better lot performance, but I’m going to a lot of driving tonight to make sure. It definitely obeys no right on red signs, I’ve seen it listen to every single one perfectly so far, even obscure signs. It moves over for lane splitting motorcycles well before I can see them- this increases safety for everyone especially the motorcyclists and they appreciate it. A couple of them have waved at me tonight alone to thank me. Moved over for the two construction zones I have encountered thus far, and slowed down. Standard seems like the Goldilocks profile when on city streets with no traffic to follow- doesn’t speed much and usually travels at the perfect speed. Mad max is fast when nobody around- but really good speed control when there’s cars on the road. When you enable FSD from park, I love how quickly it gets going. If it’s safe, it goes right away, feels like it’s always waiting and ready to go. Pretty awesome improvement over v13 and continually impresses me. Autosteer and TACC are back, will get some miles accumulated on autosteer for those wondering if it’s changed at all, but I don’t think it has much if it did. Here’s a 15 minute zero intervention drive just now from Santa Monica supercharger to Rodeo Drive, where it obeyed a one way sign to the little parking lot and went the next entrance in once it saw. I’m going to drive this more through the night, and then will take it out during rush hour a lot. Huge shoutout to Tesla AI teams for getting these releases out so quickly. They’re making magic happen. More to come, but I’m loving what I’m seeing!

@ksatnews Agreement to commit to SA by the Spurs needs to be at least 50 years, would prefer 100. 30 is silly, just aligns with them wanting yet another new arena in 30 more years.

@esherifftv @farzyness @DJSnM I don’t watch much over 20-25 minutes, even from channels I follow. Just not interested in sitting down for that long 🤷🏻

I'm in the final editing of my video with @DJSnM And I need your help. Do I keep my YouTube interview with Scott Manley at an hour and ten minutes or do I shorten it ? I find him that interesting and am having trouble cutting it down.
