FULL SELF DRIVING WITH CYBERTRUCK: NOT WHAT I EXPECTED

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses a significant shift in their opinion on Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability, particularly with version 12.5.5 on the Cybertruck. Initially skeptical, the reviewer found the system to be "amazingly good" and "impressive," highlighting its ability to navigate complex scenarios like roundabouts with bumps and interact with traffic. A key takeaway is the system's improved performance, with a notable reduction in "nags" and interventions, even when wearing sunglasses, a previous point of contention. While acknowledging it's not yet perfect or legally certified for full autonomy, the reviewer indicates a growing comfort level, suggesting they would use it for longer trips if it were officially endorsed. The video also touches upon the new "automatic speed offset" feature and the challenges FSD faces with unpredictable elements like debris or extended truck loads, contrasting it with the highly mapped environments of competitors like Waymo. The reviewer's overall sentiment is one of cautious optimism, impressed by the rapid improvements and potential for true autonomous driving.
