HUMAN DRIVERS ARE NOW OBSOLETE TESLA CRACKS THE CODE

EV Channels Review

This video provides a first-hand, real-world test of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system on public roads in Australia, marking its global right-hand-drive debut. The reviewer is impressed by the system's 'scary smart' and 'human-like' driving behavior, noting its ability to handle complex traffic situations, roundabouts, and merges with confidence, even suggesting it's better than some human drivers. However, the system is not perfect. Notable issues included misinterpreting speed limits (slowing down on a freeway) and failing to detect potholes. The reviewer also highlights the system's reliance on camera-based monitoring, its inability to handle novel situations (like kangaroos), and the current legal ambiguity surrounding its use in Australia, classifying it as Level 2 autonomy. Despite its advanced capabilities, the $10,000 price tag is deemed potentially too high for its current limitations, though the reviewer anticipates costs will decrease. The overall verdict is that while the technology is impressive and offers a tantalizing glimpse into the future, it still requires significant refinement and faces regulatory hurdles.
