TESLA FSD 12.5.4 TAKES US TO BEST BUY | HANDS FREE FSD WITH SUNGLASSES!

EV Channels Review

This video showcases Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised version 12.5.4, focusing on its capabilities during a drive to Best Buy in a Model 3 Performance. The reviewer highlights the new vision-based attention monitoring, allowing for hands-free driving even with sunglasses, a significant usability improvement. The system demonstrated competent navigation through various traffic scenarios, including turns, lane changes, and responding to unexpected events like a stop sign runner, with the reviewer noting FSD's smoother and less aggressive braking compared to basic Autopilot. A key takeaway is the improved responsiveness and camera quality on Hardware 4, particularly for interior monitoring, which impacts attention detection. While FSD performed well, the reviewer noted occasional hesitations and a slightly slower pace on certain turns than a human driver might take, attributing this to safety protocols. The video also briefly touches on Smart Summon and Autopark, with the reviewer expressing optimism for future advancements like 'Banish' (robotaxi functionality). Overall, FSD 12.5.4 is presented as a capable, albeit not yet perfect, system that is steadily improving.
