Tesla Self Driving vs Everyday Roads!

In its current state, it feels like you are babysitting someone learning to drive and it feels much more stressful than just driving myself.

I think this is the best video I have seen on fsd, showing the stress you are under, even when it is working as expected. When I was teaching my daughter to drive, this is exactly what it felt like. You are nervous, ready to intervene but desperately trying not to.

That was the most stressful drive I've ever been on . . . And I wasn't even there. I think I held my breath a few times. Thanks for sharing with us Marques!

As an engineer I’m both impressed by the tech and horrified by all the possible scenarios that someone not paying attention or trusting the vehicle too much could encounter that would/could be deadly!

That’s the kind of self-driving videos we should see—honest and not speed-up ones. I enjoyed this autopilot review. Thank you, Marques.

I feel like this video is a great representation of how good Marques is as a tech reviewer and YouTuber. Sitting in a car that drives itself, one take, no cuts and still having a great and fluent monologue about the car, the traffic... Great watch!

I was a Navy carrier pilot back in the day. I flew the A-7 Corsair. There was a link between the carrier and the aircraft that allowed it to automatically land on the carrier without the pilot doing anything but, literally, NOBODY ever used it. It was too stressful. One glitch and you're dead in an instant. All the A-7s have now been replaced by the much more sophisticated F-18 Hornet. Automatic landings are common today with the "Magic Carpet" system. The stress he feels with the Tesla fully under automated control is the type of stress the pilots felt when they were not at the controls while landing on the aircraft carrier.

For this to work, you will need all cars on the roads to be self driven to talk to each other and use a lot of radar information and bigger information ahead.

“I might have to take over” semi lays on horn “ok I’m going to take over”

Would love to see you do the full self driving in other weather conditions. As you mentioned it only uses cameras so it would be cool to see it in like rain, or snow.

Marques was fearing for his life that whole time, I don't blame you 😂😂

Please make updates every few months to see how it's getting better! Best unbiased FSD test ever. Also great to mention "embarrassing" driving of FSD, which is not really acceptable even if the car does it right.

This was a perfectly complex drive to film. I loved how it wasn't too crazy, but just enough obstacles to really challenge the AI.

The stressed out vibe that Marques gave during this drive makes me feel like I wouldn't trust it to drive me somewhere, the amount of doubting it does in the drive and the sketchy disengage in that tollbooth with the cone where it headed straight into the barrier and panicked.. idk if I would trust it to let it drive itself somewhere.

I’ve been curious about these cars for a while, but what really drew me in is the way you guided us with your thoughts of it through the process that made me want to keep watching start to finish! Good job! 👍🏻😎

As someone who just bought a new Model Y and didn't buy FSD, I'm honestly pretty impressed with the lane changes shown here- especially with what its able to do on the highway. I don't know if its $15,000 safer but it does appear relatively safe to me with an attentive driver at the wheel.

Years later and you still seem to be one of the most trustworthy reviewers out there (tech and otherwise). Keep up the good work!

Great video! As an airplane pilot, when people say “don’t you just use the autopilot?” The narrative you gave is exactly how we feel and no one understands it unless they’ve used some sort of autopilot. It can be more stressful using autopilot for us in certain situations as we are essentially just making sure it does what it’s supposed to…so our vigilance is even higher!

Dude this video was kinda relaxing. It felt like me and Marques were just really good friends with me in the back seat, just having a conversation on the way to the studio. I LOVED THIS

One of the most important things to do when driving is it behave “as expected.” This changes by region (due to cultural norms) and also by road conditions. I think the embarrassment you’re feeling is partly that same sense of what is currently expected of you by others. When the car drives differently than a human, that strangeness isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s legitimately dangerous to put the onus of reacting to the unexpected on other drivers, even when technically correct.
