How long ago was it that you tried FSD? My car (HW4) had a lot difficulty like this in the early days of FSD 11 but over the past thirty months it's gone from "good at highway driving, not very good at navigating city streets and it might try to kill me" to "nearly perfect at everything". Over the past six months, most of my interventions have been to avoid it automatically parking in handicap spaces and minor navigation issues when I know there's a quicker/better route. Since FSD 14.2, I've done 23k miles with 94% of that on Full Self Driving. Longest streak was 930 miles where it took me on a road trip out of state and then back home and I never touched the wheel; it handled parking at chargers and diners, navigating strange destinations (small towns, back roads), avoiding two deer that I almost certainly would have hit, and managed to keep 85mph while navigating traffic during rush-hour in Chicago. I've never owned a product, much less a vehicle, that got so much better over time.
- questionableans 1mo agoI’m glad to hear it’s gotten better. This was a couple of years ago, when they were pushing the free trials. It’s an earlier Model 3, and I barely drive it. I’m clearly not a typical driver. I love keeping the camera views all on screen for situational awareness. I don’t use cruise control and rarely use GPS navigation, even back when I used to drive cross country in previous cars. I guess I just got used to memorizing entire routes in my long distance biking days. Google Maps Street View really helps me understand exactly where I’ll be going.
