FSD SUPERVISED 12.5 NO STEERING WHEEL NAG

EV Channels Review

The reviewer tests Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised version 12.5 in a Model Y Performance, highlighting its new vision-based attention monitoring that eliminates the need for steering wheel nags, provided the driver remains attentive. The system successfully navigated various road conditions, including turns, lane changes, and a closed lane scenario, without requiring manual intervention. A key takeaway is the improved driving feel, which the reviewer describes as more "magical" and less jerky than previous versions. However, the current iteration does not support sunglasses for driver monitoring, a feature the reviewer anticipates in future updates. While the FSD performed impressively throughout the drive to Sam's Club, the reviewer noted a slight indecisiveness in one lane change and a peculiar behavior during the parking attempt, where the system seemed to overshoot the intended spot. Despite these minor points, the overall impression of FSD 12.5 is highly positive, offering a more integrated and less intrusive autonomous driving experience.
