EV Channels Review
This video puts Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta v11.4.4 to the ultimate test on the chaotic streets of Brooklyn, New York. The reviewer highlights numerous instances where FSD struggles with complex urban environments, exhibiting tentativeness, phantom braking, and an inability to make natural driving decisions. While acknowledging the impressive visualization technology and occasional moments of competence, the overall verdict is that FSD is not ready for prime time in such demanding conditions. The reviewer frequently had to intervene, using the accelerator pedal to prompt the car forward, indicating a significant gap between the system's capabilities and the expectations of a $12,000 option. The video concludes that while FSD is a work in progress with potential, relying on it for full autonomy in cities like New York is currently impractical and potentially dangerous.
