Just did first v12.3 drive and it was my best fsd drive ever. It didn't try to park, but did pull over in parking lots. It was superbly human-like with only a single acceleration intervention just for my comfort. And it passed the Wife Test!
6:20 "In all the road closure situations I put it in, it almost feels like it knows that it's not the right thing to do but always ends up just trying it anyway".... Wow.. so very much driving like a human. 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly what I was thinking. This is probably a topic where specific "staged" drives need to be recorded for the training data, because even the "good" drivers are sneaking around closed road signs. 😇
I watch most of the FSD channels out there. The production quality (and by production quality, I mean all of it... the video quality, audio, narration of scenarios, your narration voice, the editing... ALL of it) is the best there is. Just outstanding work. Thank you for this. As an FSD beta user since the first round of Safety Score adds, I for one, welcome our FSD 12 overlords.
Forgot to ask... You do a great job of running FSD 12 through ALL the scenarios. One that I haven't seen a lot of on your channel is traffic circles. Where I'm at, traffic circles are the bane of FSD. If you have any that are local to you, any chance you could take us along for the ride through a few of them? I know traffic circle density is highly variable according to geographic location, so if there aren't any local to you no worries; don't want you going cross country just for a few circles. : )
Honestly, the driving in this video was incredible. There still a lot of progress to achieve, adding the missing bits like parking, backing up, how to deal with construction, etc. and especially if self-driving has to work across different parts of the world. But it feels like this is the way to do it. Thank you for the video!
Internal Family Systems (IFS) theory suggests the human body is the same way. One part will be like "GO!!!", while another part (usually a protector) will stop us in our tracks.

Holy cow. There are so many terrible, scary af intersections in this town. The number of roads you have to blindly pull out on where traffic could easily be going 45 is insane. We don't need FSD, we need better road design...
I watch a bunch of RUclipsrs for Tesla news,including FSD info, and i've been watching a few of your videos for a few months. I really love your commentary, editing, and the way you have multiple cameras E.G. interior vs exterior, and how you transition between them to illustrate your points! Makes for great "flow" in your communication, and really easy for the viewer to follow along, thanks for being awesome :)
I am so impressed with your narration and your focus on describing how the car handles every situation you gave it! Excellent job! First time I have watched your channel.

I just went from 11.4.9 to 12.3. ALL of my pet peeves are gone! Late signaling, twitchy turns, incorrect changes into turn lanes, insanely fast RR crossings, all gone. Even new capabilities. An aggressive driver quickly moved into a turn lane from behind. FSD just let it by and pulled in behind. While waiting for a left turn, a car pull up and blocked my view to the right. FSD crept forward to regain visibility. Waiting on a right turn traffic passing traffic blocked my view to the left. FSD remembered to wait for a last car to go by and continued the turn! I need to completely reset my expectations to catch up to the progress of this release. Thanks for the effort to show it on video for all to see!!!
At 21:31, the reason FSD will be safer than a human is that human drivers exhibit numerous dangerous behaviors, which FSD will never exhibit, and which cause up to 90% of accidents by some estimates. These include texting while driving; other distracted driving; drunk and drug-impaired driving; road rage; fatigue; falling asleep at the wheel; medical emergencies; running red/yellow lights and stop signs; wrong-way driving; following too closely; unsafe lane changes; speeding; street racing; reckless driving; loss of control; and several other categories I probably haven't thought of. FSD can be significantly less skilled than an average driver, perhaps similar to a beginning student driver, and still show a much lower accident, injury, and fatality rate that human drivers, for this reason.
Not strange at all. Camera placement. He is filming from driver seat. The car has a camera in the middle. If the pedestrian was on the opposite side of the car in front, the car would not have seen it as early as the human in the drivers seat.
I don't think there's actually anyone there? When it first appears, we have a full view of the whole sidewalk going into that intersection and I can't see anyone. As he gets closer there's still an unobstructed view of the full width of the entrance the van is pulling into, until the last few seconds before the van stops, and there's still nobody visible.
If you back up the video a bit you can see the pedestrian walking, then the person gets obscured behind a parked car. The system has memory now and correctly infers that the pedestrian is going to continue walking across the road and slows down accordingly.
@@richardjones8395 No, it does not have any memory. But, the camera the car uses is placed more to the right compared to the camera that is filming the ride, and thus it can see things that are obscured by the video camera. Note that as soon as they get too close to the car in front, the pedestrian is gone.
@@Xanthopteryx Yeah, sorry, I totally mixed up with another section of the video here (I was talking about another bit in the video at around 21:43 where a pedestrian was crossing and the car waited). In the particular case at 3:00, it does see the pedestrian due to camera positioning as you say. But going back to the statement about memory, I should have qualified what I mean by 'memory': as I understand it, V12 learns from short video clips (around 30 seconds maybe), so when learning what a human driver would do in a given scenario, the neural nets will be taking account of what happens during the period of the clip and how the human driver responds. Whilst perhaps not a ‘memory’ in the conventional sense, it does give it the capability for things like ‘remembering’ a moving car that gets occluded by another car at an intersection- as long as it's just a few seconds it'll keep track of it. On previous versions, the FSD team did talk specifically about giving the system a short memory to take account of such situations. I’m not as clear yet how that works with the ‘end to end’ system and whether the team have taken specific steps to give it ‘memory’, but as mentioned above, the fact that it learns from video clips does give it the capability to infer that type of information (at least over the duration of the clip, whatever length it may be).
I know the way you edit takes a lot of work but your approach - showing the boom-deleted car when appropriate, and the voice-over makes for a really useful video. Many thanks.
What was the year make and model of the car? And in your experience do you think it makes a difference if it's the Intel or the AMD based computer? @@AIDRIVR
@@KuramaKitsune1the intel and amd computers are just for the infotainment. The FSD computer is a separate Tesla designed system. For now both HW3 and HW4 perform the same with FSD
Excellent - plus a great summary. V12 has a very good understanding of the cars dimensions and can squeeze through spots (not sure if that's always a good thing). Teaching my niece to drive (I had her go through cones and between boxes etc) and now watching people more, I notice a lot of people have poor spatial understanding and not as good as V12
Great video as usual so informative and entertaining. IMHO the thing that needs improving next is the navigation data. When a road is closed that contradicts the data, a new route needs to be quickly determined. Also, the closure could be updated to other drivers in the area with a few hours of persistence.
Simple: rerouting is another type of AI action. Find clips of people driving with road closures in them, not necessarily in the route path, then edit the route to go through the road closure, and add the reroute action as the target action. Lots of issues can be solved by creative data sampling and modification like this. You can do the same thing for the issue where the car is unable to safely follow the route. This stuff will be solved so fast.
I can't wait for the day we get true FSD! This will give so much freedom to my disabled wife. But, it absolutely needs to be six sigma, requiring zero intervention from the human riding inside the car, who is incapable of helping out. But this will be a game changer for so many people!!!
sorry to say, but this will never happen they are on it for 10 years now and it wouldn't pass a simple drivers test that any human with 12h of training could pass hell, in the video you see at least 10 examples where it makes terrible decisions; blocks the road; ignores tight spots until breaking in panic etc or simply breaks traffic laws
Great video, as usual. I'm really impressed by the improvements you've shown from FSD bets 12.2.1 to 12.3. I sure hope this starts rolling out to a much wider group of FSD beta testers soon so that we can get it on both of our Teslas.
Your mention about going back to 11 FSD for that one area is interesting. Would be interesting to be able to move back to previous versions to show the changes. The improvements are not so clear until comparisons are made.
The problem is that each time you drive the environment has changed completely. Cars are different, position of them are different, your own car is placed different, speed differ, the light differ, the weather differ, shadows differ, ... The only way to truly compare is by doing like Waymo does: Tons of computer simulations. You let the virtual car drive a virtual environment and then you can replay the EXACT environment with different software versions.
even if probably legal, that maneuver at 1:20 where you're driving into the exit of the drive thru is something i would have disengaged for. both 'lanes' have arrows pointing in the oncoming direction and it looks like the lane widening for 2-way traffic past those arrows is for drivers exiting the drive thru, based on the road markings. which is probably why that pedestrian didn't look both ways, because the road markings are indicating one way traffic.
After watching in awe, I've finally gotten the v12 update tonight. Love living vicariously through your videos with all the updates and now I can live it myself haha. I'm pretty cautious with FSD in general and don't actually use it much but am excited again for this update.
I got 12.3 this morning, coming from 11.4.9 🥳. They gotta get speed control in order 😅. Other than that it is a great leap forward as far as I can tell.
I really do like these videos. People watching can learn to maybe drive better by example. This system doesn't get road rage. Being a professional driver for close to twenty years has taught me a lot of patience. I hope to continue watching videos of yours more ahead because so many people have a fuse set to road rage. If anything, it can be a great example of how to drive well.🙏
I like that you let FSD v12 do its thing to the very end instead of disengaging early. Gives us greater insight into what the car is trying to do/what its thinking.
I only count them as critical if it was in any real danger. The car just stopped itself and needed me to re-engage, no danger to itself or anyone around
22:00 when the car slows down when it sees the light change to yellow, but then changes its mind and accelerates is mindblowing! It really shows signs of intelligence.
Not only inevitable - that's Tesla intentional strategy. That's a good thing. It doesn't mean the car will make mistakes like humans necessarily. The car is 100% attentive at all times (which is a large source of human error) and the training set is curated good driving.
When you look at crash compilations, it's most of the time because of either reckless driving or fatigue (microsleep, general distraction). This version shows no signs of doing mistakes like this and thus I would feel much safer knowing the cars around me are AI driven and don't just cut my lane, drunkenly swerve around or overlook pedestrians.
I think about this all the time on the highway, especially when someone is tailgating me and glancing down at their phone. Using FSD lets me watch other drivers around more and it’s terrifying
Quite a fresh driver here, got my license in mid-February and I have got to say, that Tesla FSD drives similarly to me, so hopefully we will improve together xd
I'm sorry no one told you John but we took a vote and decided that due to your impatience, you are being slow walked on FSD. Perhaps a better attitude would help your case ...
For the first versions using end to end neural nets its capabilities are amazing. Just think how much improvement we might see after two years of trained neural nets!
Well I toggled the bell icon, i guess I'll get notified when you drop a video? As others are saying in the comments, you give the very best commentary to your videos, always entertaining and informative.
The one thing I'm learning from these videos is that FSD really needs a way of detecting "road closed" signs and feeding that into the navigation system, like maybe even just ignoring the navigation and picking a different direction to go instead, and letting the gps reroute to the destination afterwards. Also, while I really don't like tesla as a company (mostly due to the owner of said company), and self driving cars still seem like an accident waiting to happen as soon as supervision isn't legally required (not to mention that unsupervised self driving cars solve a problem that would be much better served by widely available public transit), I can't deny that this is really cool tech, I'm kinda shocked how much this system manages to do correctly, even if it's definitely still at a point where intervention needs to be available at all times, it can drive better than most self driving tech I've yet seen.
This was a nice presentation and enjoyable to watch. FSD sure has improved a good bit. I still would be tense making sure it will not hit something vs driving myself.
I'm puzzled why some features have still not been implemented. 1. Road Closed training: it would be straightforward to sample incidences where the planned route was changed by human drivers deviating from navigation and where there's 'road closed' text (there will be vanishingly few examples of people literally driving up to the sign before responding!) 2. Dead ends etc: trivially easy to find and train on instances where the driver selects reverse (esp repeatedly for a multi point turn) and then proceeds in the opposite direction to that before reverse was selected. Having said that, should we be expecting a much faster rate of improvement from now on? Cheers dude, literally top content, as ever. Hoping the new eqpt is making your day a lot easier.
I think it's not wise to only count on visual queues. If waze (or Tesla's version of crowd-sourced navigation) tells you the road is closed, you should have come around anyway...
It is so stupid that it doesn't know how to properly use navigation. If it used any mapping program for routes it would have calculated from the start that route wasn't an option. Heck even my 2013 car does a better job at that.

IMHO the thing that needs improving next is the navigation data. When a road is closed that contradicts the data, a new route needs to be quickly determined. Also, the closure could be updated to other drivers in the area with a few hours of persistence.
Simple: rerouting is another type of AI action. Find clips of people driving with road closures in them, not necessarily in the route path, then edit the route to go through the road closure, and add the reroute action as the target action. Lots of issues can be solved by creative data sampling and modification like this. You can do the same thing for the issue where the car is unable to safely follow the route. This stuff will be solved so fast.
just got mine upgraded to 12.3 tonight will try it out tomorrow very exciting after seeing this video of what it's capable of doing.
love your videos very entertaining and i enjoy the long ones especially
Appreciate the kind words! They take a while to make but comments like this make it worth it
I really appreciate that your video not only informs but is so visually pleasing to watch. Well done.
I can't wait for the day we get true FSD! This will give so much freedom to my disabled wife. But, it absolutely needs to be six sigma, requiring zero intervention from the human riding inside the car, who is incapable of helping out. But this will be a game changer for so many people!!!
Good for old people that shouldn't be driving.
sorry to say, but this will never happen
they are on it for 10 years now and it wouldn't pass a simple drivers test that any human with 12h of training could pass
hell, in the video you see at least 10 examples where it makes terrible decisions; blocks the road; ignores tight spots until breaking in panic etc or simply breaks traffic laws
11:08 I think 2024 will be the year when we have fully self driving cars tbh
the video literally came out 6 mins ago how are you there
Yeah. Probably. Or 2025. latest 2026.
@@tav9755Or someday. Maybe.
@@halophobic9550 He skipped a part
Or played the video at 2x speed
Great video, as usual. I'm really impressed by the improvements you've shown from FSD bets 12.2.1 to 12.3. I sure hope this starts rolling out to a much wider group of FSD beta testers soon so that we can get it on both of our Teslas.
Still the best!! Will have to cook up some fsd vs human scenarios to make it interesting pretty soon.
Can you focus on roundabouts in the next video? They shouldn't be a problem (finally) for V12, but I'm very curious. Great video anyway, thank you!
He mentioned right in the video that there are none near him other than that one mini roundabout he showed.
Your mention about going back to 11 FSD for that one area is interesting. Would be interesting to be able to move back to previous versions to show the changes. The improvements are not so clear until comparisons are made.
The problem is that each time you drive the environment has changed completely. Cars are different, position of them are different, your own car is placed different, speed differ, the light differ, the weather differ, shadows differ, ...
The only way to truly compare is by doing like Waymo does:
Tons of computer simulations. You let the virtual car drive a virtual environment and then you can replay the EXACT environment with different software versions.
The best Tesla fsd videos on RUclips by far Thankyou for your service
A combination of your video , chuck cook, Brad Ferguson and Rob Mauer’s latest v12.3 convinced me to buy more Tesla stocks!!
If I had any spare money I'd be buying too
Danke!
Bin dankbar!
once FSD can read and interpret signs...
Great video. Absolutely love the visual effects etc.
Thank you, appreciate that! Takes a while but comments like yours make it worth it
even if probably legal, that maneuver at 1:20 where you're driving into the exit of the drive thru is something i would have disengaged for. both 'lanes' have arrows pointing in the oncoming direction and it looks like the lane widening for 2-way traffic past those arrows is for drivers exiting the drive thru, based on the road markings. which is probably why that pedestrian didn't look both ways, because the road markings are indicating one way traffic.
I was going to say the same thing.
After watching in awe, I've finally gotten the v12 update tonight. Love living vicariously through your videos with all the updates and now I can live it myself haha. I'm pretty cautious with FSD in general and don't actually use it much but am excited again for this update.
Now we need reversing it seems
Awesome video. Thanks for producing. So nicely done. Great graphics
Crossing solid white line is legal in a lot of states (California and Washington for sure) as long as it's safe to do so.
Yet, even some of those may not allow lane changes within 100 feet of an intersection.
Excellent video. Probably one of the first of yours I've watched but really did an awesome job of showing what this new version is capable of.
4:12. I think it hadn’t accounted fully for the second trash can initially.
This channel is pure quality over quantity. Thank you for keep making these.
I got 12.3 this morning, coming from 11.4.9 🥳. They gotta get speed control in order 😅. Other than that it is a great leap forward as far as I can tell.
I really do like these videos. People watching can learn to maybe drive better by example. This system doesn't get road rage.
Being a professional driver for close to twenty years has taught me a lot of patience.
I hope to continue watching videos of yours more ahead because so many people have a fuse set to road rage. If anything, it can be a great example of how to drive well.🙏
LETS GOOO!!!
Best FSD Tester on YT!
I like that you let FSD v12 do its thing to the very end instead of disengaging early. Gives us greater insight into what the car is trying to do/what its thinking.
3:40 I think that should've been a critical disengagement, especially since the car is doubting itself
I only count them as critical if it was in any real danger. The car just stopped itself and needed me to re-engage, no danger to itself or anyone around
@@AIDRIVR It was kind of dangerous because just sitting in the road doing nothing is like, not very good.
22:00 when the car slows down when it sees the light change to yellow, but then changes its mind and accelerates is mindblowing! It really shows signs of intelligence.
Meh, crossing a single solid white line is permitted. It just means to proceed with extra caution.
Incredible video. Hit all the points. Fast moving, not a single wasted moment. No surprise you get the views.
Thank you for the kind words!
Data from human drivers in the fleet training the model was inevitable.
At least it didn't gleefully send the trash can flying!
Not only inevitable - that's Tesla intentional strategy.
That's a good thing. It doesn't mean the car will make mistakes like humans necessarily. The car is 100% attentive at all times (which is a large source of human error) and the training set is curated good driving.
You do an excellent job ! Many thanks.
When you look at crash compilations, it's most of the time because of either reckless driving or fatigue (microsleep, general distraction). This version shows no signs of doing mistakes like this and thus I would feel much safer knowing the cars around me are AI driven and don't just cut my lane, drunkenly swerve around or overlook pedestrians.
I think about this all the time on the highway, especially when someone is tailgating me and glancing down at their phone. Using FSD lets me watch other drivers around more and it’s terrifying
Quite a fresh driver here, got my license in mid-February and I have got to say, that Tesla FSD drives similarly to me, so hopefully we will improve together xd
It SUCKS that I paid full price for FSD and get these builds months after others!
Previous owner of my car paid full price for it too, and I haven't received any build of FSD whatsoever yet.
I'm sorry no one told you John but we took a vote and decided that due to your impatience, you are being slow walked on FSD. Perhaps a better attitude would help your case ...
@@rmkep I snuck in and voted multiple times to deny John FSD.
@@rmkep You’re amazing! And dense!
For the first versions using end to end neural nets its capabilities are amazing. Just think how much improvement we might see after two years of trained neural nets!
Extremely dangerous and irresponsible technology
How so?
Amazing content as always! Thank you!
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste and Thank You Everybody for All that you are doing to Heal our Mother Earth 🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤
I just got version 12.3 on my car last night. I drove around a bunch today around Austin, TX and the car did AMAZING.
Dude !!, you are undoubtedly the best !, I love your video editing and commentary , so, thank you !!!
Really appreciate the kind words, thank you!
Well I toggled the bell icon, i guess I'll get notified when you drop a video?
As others are saying in the comments, you give the very best commentary to your videos, always entertaining and informative.
Great informational video like always!
The one thing I'm learning from these videos is that FSD really needs a way of detecting "road closed" signs and feeding that into the navigation system, like maybe even just ignoring the navigation and picking a different direction to go instead, and letting the gps reroute to the destination afterwards.
Also, while I really don't like tesla as a company (mostly due to the owner of said company), and self driving cars still seem like an accident waiting to happen as soon as supervision isn't legally required (not to mention that unsupervised self driving cars solve a problem that would be much better served by widely available public transit), I can't deny that this is really cool tech, I'm kinda shocked how much this system manages to do correctly, even if it's definitely still at a point where intervention needs to be available at all times, it can drive better than most self driving tech I've yet seen.
Fantastic video I can’t wait for the update.
Love your videos and shorts man!
As always, best FSD channel by far
This was a nice presentation and enjoyable to watch. FSD sure has improved a good bit. I still would be tense making sure it will not hit something vs driving myself.
I'm puzzled why some features have still not been implemented.
1. Road Closed training: it would be straightforward to sample incidences where the planned route was changed by human drivers deviating from navigation and where there's 'road closed' text (there will be vanishingly few examples of people literally driving up to the sign before responding!)
2. Dead ends etc: trivially easy to find and train on instances where the driver selects reverse (esp repeatedly for a multi point turn) and then proceeds in the opposite direction to that before reverse was selected.
Having said that, should we be expecting a much faster rate of improvement from now on?
Cheers dude, literally top content, as ever. Hoping the new eqpt is making your day a lot easier.
I think it's not wise to only count on visual queues. If waze (or Tesla's version of crowd-sourced navigation) tells you the road is closed, you should have come around anyway...
It is so stupid that it doesn't know how to properly use navigation. If it used any mapping program for routes it would have calculated from the start that route wasn't an option. Heck even my 2013 car does a better job at that.
Remarkable it’s come such a long way in such a short period of time.
Please upgrade your recordings to 4k60!
Holy smokes that was amazing! I was doubting the speed of fsd development for some time, but now stuff is really happening!
Truly, V12 is next level
Awesome footage, keep up the great work!
the irony of me exhausted from driving for hours today, then after getting home and taking a nap, watching this video start to end
Superb editing and camera work, commentary, nothing not to like. Others should take note, this is a great format you have developed.
