Tesla FSD 12.3.6 Recognizing Hand Signals?! Is FSD 12 finally recognizing hand held stop signs and hand signals given by roadway workers? I tested this in an actual functioning construction zone with traffic being diverted wrong way and witnessed some impressive results! What are your thoughts on this?

I experimented and found this was not the case with 12.3.3. I don't have ..6 yet (on ..5) but will test as soon as I get it, and definitely when we all get 12.4. Thanks for the update: hand signals would be a great addition to the corner cases!

One of the most insane FSD videos I’ve seen! Absolutely wild

Glad to hear!!

Impressive driving on wrong side of the road!

I’ve never seen it do this before without some kind of sign or cone pattern leading it in that direction 🤔

Elon did say, that they didn't train it to read signs, and it does. So it seems as if it's learning, evolving, and I'm super excited.

That was perfection right there! FSD handled everything incredibly. :)

AlejandroH2 years ago

It’s perfect, but what if it reacts to the wrong person giving the sign gesture. Does this mean that all you need to control a FSD Tesla is a hand gesture from anyone?

Not sure how I feel about it recognizing hand signals at this time. I've seen too many construction workers not paying attention with their hand signals.

@kylaschwaberow I’m driving CA to NC and FSD doesn’t see blownout trucker tire rubber at all. Cones are great and all but hard rubber is frequently dangerous. I stopped using FSD before I left CA

@kylaschwaberow Freeway driving is not using the v12 codebase yet. It’s still on a slightly improved 11. The big difference in freeway driving will be seen when they merge it over to the 12 code

Here's my video driving the new Tesla Model Y Premium Long Wheelbase on FSD (Supervised) V14.3.7 from Santa Monica to West Hollywood. No interventions the entire 40 minute trip. It handled an active construction zone with hand signals from workers, an unexpected u-turn by a car, and more. (Side note: I wrote the lyrics and had AI sing the first song in the video about the Model Y L lol)

FSD V14.3.4 Hand held stop sign test 1 It’s been about 7 months since our last handheld stop sign test on V14, and for me this is probably one of the most fascinating FSD test results. Watching the car respond to tiny changes in body language almost feels like you’re communicating with a living creature. Stand perfectly still with the stop sign up? It won’t budge. Shift your weight slightly? It nudges forward, almost like it’s getting ready. Take a step toward the shoulder? It becomes more willing to move. Then I gave it conflicting signals: a STOP sign in one hand while waving it through with the other. You could just see the neurons firing. If you’ve ever wondered how FSD interprets the world at the smallest scale I think you’ll really enjoy this series with me and AJ Telemetry visualized with CamCutApp

This Chinese vlogger is both Tesla and XPeng owner. He is an avid tester of Tesla FSD and Xpeng NGP. He points out NGP almost always comes to an abrupt halt when humans or mopeds get real close or cross intersections as evidenced in this clip, even though there is ample time to gradually slow down, making driving extremely uncomfortable. This is not an isolated case. It exists with other XPeng owners. On the other hand, the owner says FSD is very reassuring and predictable. Other systems may have a fewer takeover rates than FSD for now but he still prefers FSD because of its driving comfort, smoothness and confidence.

Forget UPL, it's the Devin's simple right hand turn that FSD needs to master first. I am blown away that software as good as FSD can make mistakes as simple but devastating as this. This is the second time in less than two weeks that FSD has tried to pull infront of a vehicle on a VERY SIMPLE right hand turn. The car drove pretty much flawlessly all day today (3~ hours of driving) but it ends the day with a move like this and it just takes all the confidence I have with FSD away in a simple move. I understand that the version of FSD we have today is not what will be used in Austin in June, but the fact that FSD is making decisions like this and 'full autonomy' is less than 3 months away - it's a bit concerning to me. I would feel a bit better if a near flawless version of FSD existed 'in the wild' for several months before Austin happens, but that's just me. Tesla Model 3 HW4 FSD 13.2.8 Tesla AI Ashok Elluswamy

I don't see enough people talking about this. This is a Tesla on FSD Beta autonomously navigating a McDonald's drive-thru, but that's not the mind-blowing part. The car understands the entire social sequence: It KNOWS to stop at the ordering station. It KNOWS when the order is complete and autonomously pulls forward. At the final window, it leaves the exact moment his card is returned-not when the food is handed over. It's not just following a path; it's recognizing that the transaction is finished. Seriously, тесла, how does this work? Is it parsing audio cues? Recognizing specific hand-offs with vision?

Tesla FSD v14.3.9: The v14 Build We've Been Waiting For? 600 miles on FSD v14.3.9 and v14.3.8. 0 interventions, 0 disengagements. This is the v14 build we've been waiting for. Tesla has a lot going on in FSD right now: Robotaxi (likely running an early v15), v14 Lite for HW3 vehicles, and v14 for consumer AI4 vehicles. Since v14.3.3 a new dot release has landed every 19.2 days on average. I documented some real regressions in v14.3.5, v14.3.6, and v14.3.7, but v14.3.8 and v14.3.9 are a night and day improvement. v14.3.9 is the best v14 release I've driven with and it's not even close.

Breadcrumbs of Banish appear to be in the latest Actually Smart Summon release. My Model 3 parked itself on ASS (FSD v14.3.2) after I blocked the road and used hand signals to direct it into a parking spot (target was on opposite side of the building). I've never seen it do this before. It didn't just pull in across the lines, it parked near-perfectly like it does on FSD. Worked with my Model 3 and TeslaFSD - Dave's Model Y on first attempt. Of course when I brought out the camera it took like 7 tries, but it eventually did it again! Not enough data to conclude if it's actually listening to my hand signals, or just giving up and deciding to park instead of block the road. Would be interesting to see if other people can try and replicate this. Everything is there for Banish to work, just comes down to Tesla feeling comfortable enough to let it go unsupervised in parking lots.

Here's Tesla FSD 13.2 driving for an hour and 40 minutes through LA traffic with zero interventions. I know watching a video of my car sitting in traffic may not be very exciting, but imagine what a life changer this is for people who do this commute every day.

Have we just had an Autopilot update in the 🇬🇧 UK?? Today I was on AP and the car stopped at traffic lights but this time there were no stop markings. I am quite sure this is new behaviour. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe.. it's some FSD code? What software version?

🚨🚨🚨 Trigger Warning: There is a lot of FUD thrown at me in this Tesla FSD/Uber video about Tesla and Tesla FSD. I attempted to swat all of it away, and believe I did so, but I'm sure I will get comments about how I should have said this or that. So let me say ahead of time, thank you so much for your amazingly helpful comment😂 ------------------------------------------------------------ Tesla FSD 14.1.4 Ubers a Prius owner for his first experience in a Tesla and with FSD. This guy started out the drive throwing a ton of FUD at me for the first 4-5 minutes, but the funniest part of the video is the 2nd half of it, where you can literally hear the cognitive dissonance about FSD that has been comfortably planted in his head, not have any clue where to go when confronted with the reality of what he is experiencing right then, first hand. And just FYI, don't go too hard on this guy, he gave me a great rating and a nice tip. He seemed like a good dude, he's just been given bad data, and now he's got better data, the kind he experienced himself versus reading stuff online.

Here is a highlight clip of me discussing and comparing Tesla FSD v14.1.7 to the autopilot on an airplane, and how it allows the humans supervising to see more, and be safer drivers. There is a nice little hand clap moment at the end too! Please excuse the screen recording drift. I know what I did wrong. No comments needed on that. I miss my HDMI Extract on the new Juniper.

What does Elon Musk mean when he says the car is sentient? Take a look at this clip that just happened to me an hour ago! Tesla Full Self Driving v14.2.2.3 seems to know exactly what is happening. Not your usual construction situation. It's got to not only be reading the hand held stop sign and the hand gestures but a couple of times, started to move then quickly realized its not yet time. Well done Ashok Elluswamy and team!
