TESLA FSD VS. ANGELES CREST HIGHWAY: MY CAR DROVE ME UP ONE OF THE GREATEST ROADS IN AMERICA

EV Channels Review

The reviewer tests Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) on the challenging Angeles Crest Highway, a notoriously winding mountain road. While FSD isn't deemed ready for full autonomy, it impressively navigates the curves, blind corners, and varying speed limits, even in 'hurry mode.' The system handles traffic reasonably well, though it occasionally struggles with being passed or choosing optimal lanes. The reviewer notes FSD's ability to maintain decent speed, sometimes exceeding that of average drivers, and its cautious approach in sharp turns, even if it feels slower than 'hurry mode' implies. Despite some minor quirks like its lane-keeping obsession and occasional hesitation, the reviewer concludes that FSD is significantly ahead of other ADAS systems, particularly on complex roads where others would likely fail. The video also touches on the road's history, scenic beauty, and dangers, highlighting FSD's potential as a tool for appreciating such environments.
