FSD Chronicles: The Intersection Incident [May 3, 2023]

 Published On May 4, 2023

Hey, fellow tech enthusiasts and adventure seekers! After nearly a year hidden in my video archives, I've decided to share a truly authentic experience with Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. This journey isn't just about showcasing the shiny success stories; it's about the real path to autonomous driving — bumps, reroutes, and all.

In this video, we embark on a picturesque drive from the bustling Del Amo Shopping Center to the serene Point Vicente Interpretive Center. Most of the ride is the epitome of FSD innovation, a testament to how far we've come in the world of autonomous driving. But as you'll see towards the end, not every decision the system makes aligns with our human instincts for safety and precision.

I had a major disengagement near our destination — a moment that initially made me hesitant to post this video. The Tesla wanted to navigate a late left turn, and it felt like it was already too late to safely merge without disrupting the flow of traffic. In the moment, I took control, prioritizing safety above all.

But here's the thing: these disengagements are a crucial part of the journey. They offer invaluable data that helps improve the system, bringing us closer to a future where cars can truly drive themselves. By sharing this experience, I hope to contribute to the conversation and development of FSD technology.

So sit back, enjoy the scenic drive, and let's dive into the reality of FSD — where the road to full autonomy is just as important as the destination. Don't forget to hit like, share, and subscribe for more content where tech meets real life!
