(Austin, Texas) For this episode, Model Y is running FSD beta version 11.4.7.3 and the roads are wet because a rainstorm occurred just prior to the recording of the Podcast.
Toll Roads
What stands out in this episode on 11.4.7.3 is how well the AI manages to get onto a Toll Road. The vehicle moves smoothly in the video through the Toll entrance, it slows but does not stop. Following this, there’s a slightly complicated fork where it must move to the left. Watch as it performs this swift move. Once on the Toll, the software has good control, while the driver does adjust the speed on the hand controller a few times to keep up with the fast speed of the other drivers.
Tesla Updates Autonomy Software
For the one disengagement, and this is applicable to FSD beta version 11.4.7.3 (Tesla AI is constantly prompting owners to update new versions of software), the driver approaches the Toll exit booth and the AI is quickly approaching the blocked Toll lane, so the driver simply disengages and takes over.
I will emphasize that if you see this now, you should expect for certain that Tesla will work to improve and update the autonomous safttware to where it will conquer Toll Roads in every way. All FSD beta testers sign to agree they will fastidiously supervise the car when FSD is engaged.
My thoughts
I enjoy the challenges. I laugh because if Tesla AI was perfect already, I could not be here, enjoying testing it in the very early years. Tesla Autonomy must become 100X safer and better than the best human driver. Safety is critical. Tesla AI is never judged using the same litmus test as human drivers are judged by. When AGI is achieved, it will be by Tesla. Having the best AI team in the world, means the standards are higher and so are the stakes. Tesla will succeed.
Elon Musk talks to the team in Berlin, encouraging them and congratulating them on the extraordinary success of Gigafactory Berlin.
