TESLA FULL SELF DRIVING VS RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN MODEL Y

EV Channels Review

This video puts Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) package, specifically Navigate on Autopilot with lane change confirmations off, to the ultimate test in the chaotic rush hour traffic of Los Angeles. The reviewer navigates notoriously difficult freeway interchanges and merges, encountering a mix of impressive capabilities and significant shortcomings. While FSD occasionally performs smooth merges and lane changes, it frequently struggles with aggressive traffic, exhibiting phantom braking, hesitating excessively, or making abrupt, uncomfortable maneuvers. The system's reliance on clear gaps and other drivers yielding is highlighted as a critical factor for success. Despite the system's current limitations and the reviewer's need to frequently intervene, the overall sentiment is one of excitement for the technology's future potential in complex driving scenarios.
