Episode Details

☕️🤖 Ever seen a self-driving car get... stubborn? On this morning's coffee run, Chuck puts Tesla's FSD to the test on a new route, tackling school zones, busy intersections, and a bizarre new "turbo roundabout." The results are NOT what you'd expect.

🤔 Why did FSD blow right through an active school zone, despite release notes claiming improvements? What happens when the car's navigation actively AVOIDS a new traffic pattern? Is the infamous FSD "brake stabbing" a real issue, or is the car just being overly cautious?

📍 Highlights in this episode:

✅ FSD's big FAIL: Blowing through a school zone during active hours.

✅ The roundabout saga: Watching the car get completely confused and refuse to navigate a new traffic circle.

✅ Direct sunlight vs. FSD: How the system handles camera visibility warnings and keeps driving.

✅ Pedestrian interactions: Overly sensitive braking for a yard worker but smart reactions to a pedestrian who blew a kiss to the robot.

✅ A deep dive into hesitation and awkward braking at stop signs.

✅ The hilarious result of accidentally selecting "curbside" parking in a parking lot.

✅ FSD chickens out! Missing a perfect opportunity to merge into traffic.
