@@nathanchen107 Yes, an amazing job by Jordan because you must be very attentive supervising FSD. Narrating and evaluating each FSD challenge simultaneously is stressful work.
Without a doubt this is the most informative commentary about FSD, Tesla and Musk that I have seen and I watch a ton of them. You know your stuff Jordan. Bravo!
Just pointing out, from the first 12 minutes of the video: Jordan is explaining how the car is AI etc. Meanwhile that Truck in front of him cut off another driver, almost causing an accident, then chose the wrong lane, ignored stop signs and then took an illegal right turn. The real world is complicated AND humans are terrible drivers. Let that sink in.
Fairly light traffic for Boston not the typical weekday traffic. My wife's model Y on full self driving often has trouble with the JFK underpass on Storrow drive by Harvard stadium; your car breezed right through. A friend of mine said he had the same problem but with latest upgrade he makes it through 6 out of 7 times without an intervention. The days he doesn't make it through he thinks it might have something to do with weather and atmospheric conditions on the cameras. Thanks for your video.
I'm from the UK but lived in California years ago and drove across the US to Boston where I recall spending a Friday afternoon driving around Boston looking for accommodation; it was such a contrast to the rest of the US. I've never driven in New York but Boston from what I recall was far closer to driving around, say, London. Clearly End to End FSD is working fantastically outside of California and this is a good indicator as to how this will translate to UK driving, the fact that we drive on the other side should not affect FSD as it will be using RHD data.
This a the beat overall FSD video I've seen for people unfamiliar with the system. RUclips is saturated with FSD videos. This is refreshing and great work.
The System Error you experienced is a top level, belt and suspenders catch all error for when the system realizes it’s in a bad state. It’s absolutely not a “I can’t make a turn, or the result of any specific situation, all of which should give a much more specific error message.
That’s great to know! It wasn’t exactly graceful but it was going about four miles an hour and the one pedal drive would have brought it to a stop. This is part of what I want to talk to the AI team about to learn how the different warnings and failure states work. Thanks for the info! Wonder what it was.
I've been waiting for this video!! Thank you thank you thank you! Boston is the penultimate Tesla test. And i appreciate the commentary, too - learned a lot.
As a Boston resident who have been living here for over 1.5 decade - I can confirm Boston is like MAZE, once you took the wrong direction then you are your own :D Nevertheless, I love driving in Boston except Storrow drive and when I cant find Street parking :D
Living in the Boston area and planning on picking up a 2022 Y or M3 in the next few days, this video helped with a lot of questions/concerns ive been having with FSD. Thankyou for this video!
I agree with your comments at 1:10:50 about disengagements, The giving up with the "error" was better. the car should tell the human when its a little or a lot undecided. The world is new to this "aided" driving we have trust still to build with our new AI toys.
❤ Awesome video. Drove a test Model 3 four years ago in Sweden 🇸🇪❤ so FSD is not live, but Autopilot was. So I drove beside a highway and a small road, activated Autopilot and it droved like a Champ. Just impressive!!!
Great commentary and background on the tech. You are spot on. Boston is a tough place to drive, so I am impressed how well it did. We are getting closer to autonomous future. Ford is supposedly working on a partnership with Tesla to license FSD. Also, there will be a couple companies that are on Tesla's tail (like Wayve), but Tesla will lead the charge based on their tech stack in Robotics and aggressive strategy for large scale compute. There Oct. 10 event will be one for the history books.
@@Clinton.Williams I had a similar theory, Farley is proving himself to be a very competent CEO and this would be essential to keeping an edge over the competition. It will definitely be interesting to see if this happens.
Looks like you you were driving a 2024 Model 3. My 2024 Model 3 was just updated to 12.5.6.1 on October 25th. It now occasionally drives faster than the posted speed limit. It seems to consider the driving environment, including what other cars are doing. It also now can do Smart Summon. It is always fun to drive and be driven.
Being from Boston and very familiar with the chaotic traffic I really appreciate you for taking your valuable time to test Tesla FSD in the traffic you did. I have a 2020 Model S with FSD and was very curious if I drove home to Boston how it would handle the traffic.
26:00 I agree with this logic, because in Rome I saw many accidents where taxi drivers didn't see pedestrians crossing in the middle of the street. I think that would be a very good place to do another test, it will be a hardcore test :D
Great video mate. Can imagine how much effort and time it took to shoot and edit this. Good knowledge too. Its nice to see someone who actually gets it and realises how much of a genius Elon actually is. You might wanna start hitting the gym sometime though ;) All the best, Recreation
This Maine driver is impressed with this Tesla system. I KNOW, also, the driving condition of Boston and surrounds {Route 128 on a Friday!} This is the most accurate video of the system he has seen. SideBar, no sane Maine driver will EVER drive in Boston!
Best review of FSD I’ve seen. I know people who say they’d never use it if their car could drive itself. But imagine how safe the roads would be if all vehicles had FSD. Completely taking humans impatience, anger, stupidity & distraction out of the equation.
Jordan...WOW! When I saw a two hour video on FSD, I assumed that I would be watching at 2x and FF rapidly. Not the case. You have produced a compelling and engrossing dissertation on Tesla, and so much more. As a Boston driver, it was amazing to watch the vehicle navigate, almost flawlessly, the ridiculous, crowded, cow-path based roads of the Hub of the Universe! Beyond that, your discussion of how Musk and Tesla have developed FSD was illuminating. When Tesla ditched the Lidar and Radar, I assumed that they had given up! It never occurred to me that humans have been doing this with just two eyes! Your detailed analysis and discussion of the technology AND reasoning is compelling. Well done. I am now a subscriber! And now, for a political coda: I really wish that Elon would shut the F up! He is one of the most amazing technologists in history. His visionary and positive impacts on humanity are incontrovertible...Space Flight, Solar, Tunneling, Electric vehicles, FSD, etc, etc, etc. I hate to see his "brands" tarnished by his mouth (and money), but that is what is happening, and any impediment to his techno-progress is both unnecessary and unfortunate. Yes, I know that he is the richest man on the planet and that Citizen's United decision allows him to express himself through money, but that does not mean that he has to...that is a personal choice.
Was looking for FSD in Boston, thanks for that. My only feedback is: you don’t have to talk the whole time and repeat yourself. I worked around by muting and ffw’ing a bit. Just my .02, still a good vid.
Not sure what time this is in Boston. The usual Boston traffic is much busier than this, let alone other cars cut in line, biking around plus running yellow and red lights.
I was wary at first because there is no true sentience and only optical cameras. But hey, if FSD is finally mature enough then I say the regulators should allow it on all vehicles as long as the technology meets a certain standard. Because there will be competition using their own version of FSD.
At 1:38:11 when you grabbed the wheel I was wondering what would have happened if you didn't intervene? Would it have hit that black car on your right?
The problem with FSD is not the software but the 25 mph speed limits everywhere in Mass when I am usually going 40 (as with every one else) and not 30 mph...
If this autopilot finds a way to avoid potholes and other holes that are everywhere in Boston, I'm 100% buying this car haha. Now I'm almost 85% buying it just because of this autopilot test. Great video ;)
Suggestion: Tesla FSD remakes of classic car scenes. French Connection, Bourne Identity, opening scene of Red Dawn. Until FSD can escape the Russian paratroopers, I’m out. 😊
Please put in your pinned notes which mode you’re driving in, ie. Aggressive mode? Also, FSD should always right on red if allowed. Maybe you’re not in aggressive mode. System fallers should have hard coded into the chip to find a place to park or safely stop.
What are your thoughts on obstructed cameras? Heavy rain/snow, blinding sunlight, heavy fog. The reason I ask. I have a model 3 that stopped in a busy intersection because the cameras were blinded by sunlight. I can see the same occurring with the other conditions I mentioned earlier. Thanks in advance.
I live next door to the state house and tested FSD about 6 months ago on many of the same streets for weeks. Some of my disengagements were caused by not feeling safe enough when a hazard appeared. Maybe FSD would properly avoid a crash, but it seemed too risky to take the chance. There was more stress using FSD than driving without it. Possibly our comfort factor expands over time when we trust it more. Is anyone else stressed-out using FSD?
Progress for sure. I don't see the value in having self driving that may need an intervention at any moment. Seems worse than driving. But I realize this is what's needed to get to full automation.
@@joeyabb1965 , yes, that's a whole other thing. Humans can manage snow covered roads, but self driving cars that depend on cameras? For one, the cameras can get snow covered. And two, road lines and other details are covered.
I didn’t always want to listen to your educational content,so what I REALLY wanted, was a concise conclusion at the end of your video. It was disappointing that you didn’t add up all of the interventions, and make a conclusion based on that, and your experience driving a Tesla with other FSD hardware or software versions. I’m not complaining so much as helpful information.
It's an amazing piece of technology but it's still very much fully supervised driving. I have on this software for many years and I rarely turn it on except on the highway. Driving on City streets is slow and inefficient and sometimes dangerous with FSD. There is a lot of hype behind it, but when the rubber meets the road it's not a useful thing right now. Who knows how many years it will take to get it to a point where it's useful and feel safe.
I dont see the driver having his hand on the wheel very often. I own a 2021 Plaid w FSD and I need to touch the wheel often or the car warns me. Does the newest version not require touching the wheel often?
It should automatically raise the suspension more into high or even very high while traveling city streets and when approaching speed bumps or when they are in the course of navigation.
Do you have a drifting issue when on the hiway? I almost got hit by a Tesla on rt 2 west the other day. I could see the driver did not have his hands on the wheel and he drifted to where the tires were on my line. Didn't quite cross the line but it went all the way covering the far edge of the line and then veered back to the left fairly abruptly over correcting a bit. Also going 53 in the middle lane of a 55.
Love the drive! You kept saying you don't know what other companies are going to do and I have a guess what they will do. They will do 1 of 2 things... die out or license the software from Tesla like many have done in order to use Tesla's supercharger network. Im still watching so maybe you say that later but yeah thats my guess
Even with some errors, it's still impressive technology !! Unfortunately, the way the roads and crazy situations come up, I can't imagine it ever being totally hands-free.
@@kevinlucas8437 it’s so much better than it was. Smoother and smarter. Just a matter of time, but if conditions are unsafe, they are wha they are. When the sun is shining directly in my face and I can barely see the system confirms it can’t see either. Right now it makes better decisions than a human most times so it’s like having two good drivers in the car at once. For my drives I probably take over 2-3 times every couple of hours and that’s generally to avoid debris in the road because it will drive very centered or to the other side away from large trucks. I will also take over to be a bit more courteous to other drivers. It was better than 90 year old drives. Now it’s at least on par with teen drivers.
Doing any driving in Boston is a challenge. I just wonder how well it would do in heavy traffic with rude Mass drivers who try hard not to let you merge into a lane, say, in real life, you tend to almost force your way in. Wonder how AI deals with stuff like that.
I was rear ended last week Saturday October 12,2024 and I was on FSD the car behind me hit me and did not pull over to give me any information. But right before the car 🚘hit me from behind in a parking lot waiting to make a right turn on the frontage road of the freeway FSD told me to take control immediately.
I've been using FSD for the last two years and I can point to many instances in which it works but I'm also very aware the limits and failures. The fundamental problem is coexisting with human. FSD has no awareness of people giving directions or their expectations of other cars. It gets completely befuddled by signs whether a simple no turn on red and "turn after a stop on red" or, worse "no turn on red between 6AM and 8PM". A car flashing its lights is meaningless. My who doesn't even use FSD gets slammed by phantom breaking -- even with the latest build. And emergency vehicles ... Try driving in downtown Boston on a snowy day when the car thinks you're underground. FSD has improved and I do use but driving isn't getting it right 90% or even 99% but 100% with situational awareness. But it's important to get past the novelty excitement and understand the limits in the real world and why trying to solve FSD In isolation rather than thinking of transportation as a system is simplistic. FSD is amazing but so is so much other technology

Not sure what time this is in Boston. The usual Boston traffic is much busier than this, let alone other cars cut in line, biking around plus running yellow and red lights.
Your next mission, should you choose to accept it: Navigating through Kosciuszko Circle (next to JFK station) during rush hour.
The irony is that rush hour seems to be even easier because traffic is moving slower!
I was wary at first because there is no true sentience and only optical cameras. But hey, if FSD is finally mature enough then I say the regulators should allow it on all vehicles as long as the technology meets a certain standard. Because there will be competition using their own version of FSD.
Just letting you know that left turn on red at 56:00 is legal after a complete stop. Drive that uturn once every couple weeks

Did you have to step on the gas or breaks anytime in the 2 hrs?
8:04 in Boston? Make way for ducklings!
How does it know who is the good driver to learn from and who is the bad driver to not learn from?
Was the car able to avoid speed bumps and pot holes?
I was rear ended last week Saturday October 12,2024 and I was on FSD the car behind me hit me and did not pull over to give me any information. But right before the car 🚘hit me from behind in a parking lot waiting to make a right turn on the frontage road of the freeway FSD told me to take control immediately.
For the videos
The dark mode in the screen is going to look a lot better
3:50 its driving you. relax. you will reach your target.
this intervention is like telling the taxi driver where to go
I've been using FSD for the last two years and I can point to many instances in which it works but I'm also very aware the limits and failures. The fundamental problem is coexisting with human. FSD has no awareness of people giving directions or their expectations of other cars. It gets completely befuddled by signs whether a simple no turn on red and "turn after a stop on red" or, worse "no turn on red between 6AM and 8PM". A car flashing its lights is meaningless. My who doesn't even use FSD gets slammed by phantom breaking -- even with the latest build. And emergency vehicles ...
Try driving in downtown Boston on a snowy day when the car thinks you're underground.
FSD has improved and I do use but driving isn't getting it right 90% or even 99% but 100% with situational awareness. But it's important to get past the novelty excitement and understand the limits in the real world and why trying to solve FSD In isolation rather than thinking of transportation as a system is simplistic.
FSD is amazing but so is so much other technology
This ain’t the latest. I got 12.5.4.1. last night and cybertruck now has 12.5.5.
I know. Took a while to edit. 🤷🏼♂️ still applies.
So the sun shining off the stop light can make it think the light is green? That can't be good.
Does it make effort going around potholes? It’s important driving in Boston.
No, it doesn’t .
