If You Pay Attention to Tesla's FSD Map on the Dashboard, Crucial Problems Quickly Appear

It does not see accurately.

"Very impressive when you first look at it," he told Klee, "but then if you actually start to pay attention to it, and look at what’s actually on in the world, like here, these two women, there’s one person represented. If you watch, the cars will sort of appear and disappear. And parked cars move around."

According to Maltin, that's due to the system's hardware limitations. Instead of relying on the conventional LiDAR systems used by Tesla's competitors, Musk has doubled down on exclusively using cameras for the vehicles' driver assistance software. These video feeds are then analyzed by a neural network to translate them into an understanding of physical space around the vehicle.

Even Tesla warns that otherwise common "poor weather conditions" including "direct Sun" can hamper the software.

"What’s really bad for it is sunset or sunrise," Maltin told Rolling Stone. "When it’s got the sun in its eyes, it will sometimes just put a big red warning on the screen. 'Take over, take over, help me!'"


He's been saying that it will work well "next year"
For 10 years.
Short: it's not FSD. Stop calling it so.
