Key Points
- Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) version 12 features an end-to-end neural network that handles perception, planning, and control, rather than relying on heuristic code
- The new FSD version offers smoother, more human-like driving behavior, with improved navigation of turns, lane changes, and intersections
- The system includes new settings, such as "FSD Supervised" and the ability to choose between Chill, Average, or Assertive driving styles
- While the system has improved significantly, it still has some issues, such as a tendency to hug the right side of the lane and problems with unprotected left turns
- The visualizations have changed, with more "wobble" in the expanded areas, but the road itself appears more persistent
- The overall smoothness and comfort of the ride have been greatly improved, as confirmed by the passenger's experience
- The system can now navigate a cul-de-sac and make a U-turn, which were not possible in previous versions
- The driver remains vigilant and ready to take over if needed, as the system can still make mistakes, particularly on unprotected left turns

Dan takes us on a first drive with Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) version 12 in his legacy Model S. He's excited to experience the key innovation in this update - an end-to-end neural network that handles perception, planning, and control, rather than relying on heuristic code.
Dan starts by walking through the new settings, including the "FSD Supervised" terminology and the ability to choose between Chill, Average, or Assertive driving styles. He enables the system in Assertive mode and heads out.
From the start, Dan notices the smoother, more human-like driving behavior compared to previous versions. The car navigates turns, lane changes, and intersections with greater confidence and fluidity. Dan points out specific improvements, like the car no longer cutting it close on turns or leaving excessive stopping distance.
However, Dan also highlights a few areas for improvement, such as the car's tendency to hug the right side of the lane and some issues with unprotected left turns. He notes that the visualizations look a bit different, with more "wobble" in the expanded areas, but the road itself appears more persistent.
As they drive, Dan and his passenger Diane discuss the overall smoothness and comfort of the ride. Diane, who has experienced FSD in other vehicles, agrees that the improvement is remarkable. They test the car's ability to navigate a cul-de-sac and make a U-turn, both of which were not possible in previous versions.
Throughout the drive, Dan remains vigilant, ready to take over if needed, as he acknowledges that the system can still make mistakes. He's particularly cautious on unprotected left turns, where he's seen issues in the past.
Overall, Dan is very impressed with the progress made in FSD version 12. He notes that the car's driving is now much smoother and more human-like, with fewer of the heuristic-based quirks that plagued earlier versions. He's excited to see how the system performs on his regular test route and looks forward to future improvements as Tesla continues to refine the neural network-based approach.
