I currently have FSD Beta that has incorporated Autopilot into one software package. My son lives 50 miles away and the car routinely drives me to and from his house with absolutely no interventions. City streets, highway, interchange transitions, doesn’t matter.
@George_Shonia
It's would be much better if all this tests were done by same driver, because he would point out the differences he noticed.
@shaneruljancich6360
ya, can't see how the Tesla was placed 4th when it did things none of the other could and did better on the highway as well. Pretty arbitrary to say its not hands free because you have to touch the wheel. Would the ranking be different if you call it best Driver Assistance?
@djand77
We have a subscription to FSD and it takes a little bit to get used to how it does things. For example, the intersection at 19:38 you can control when it starts across by giving some throttle. FSD takes throttle and turn signal inputs without ending the driving session. Also, you only have to kep one hand on the wheel, and not even constantly. I often just use the volume scroll wheel to let it know that I'm paying attention.

I just bought a tesla with fsd. Newest update is hands free. It drove me home 45 miles through interstates, Rural highways, and neighborhoods. It navigated through construction zones with lane closures, parked itself in a parking lot, changed lanes to allow a tailgater to pass, changed lanes to allow another vehicle to merge safely, went through roundabouts, acknowledged and protected pedestrians, chose intelligent positioning when painted lines dissapeared in the lane... the list goes on. And your settings/preferences can be dialed in to a T. Oh, and it did all of this at night.

Although I have a bmw I can’t believe why this test did not put the Tesla tops

I have full FSD beta for my LR AWD Model 3 (purchased late 2019 for $6K). A couple of things you should have noted: while your current Ford system was not bad, you said that your older Lightening system is awful. There's no excuse for that - any modern computer-controlled system should be fixed with an over-the-air update. I felt that your commentary on FSD was mostly fair (with the admission that your surface street anxiety my well be your problem, not FSD's problem). Your having given the most advanced system the lowest rating because it isn't technically "hands-free" was, frankly, stupid. Every FSD user knows that they can be hands-free for several seconds without getting anywhere near "Tesla Jail" - and IMHO, none of these systems should have drivers being hands-free for longer than that anyway. So you downgraded it on the basis of a stupid technicality. That DOESN'T mean that FSD doesn't sometimes do scary things. Phantom braking is still a thing - on a road trip of several hundred miles, it'll probably happen once or twice - and I always wonder, "What if someone had been behind me?" When I'm driving with full navigation on an uncrowded semi-rural highway, FSD can suddenly decide to take an exit not on my route for no discernable reason and I have to jerk the car back onto the main lane. The anxiety you experienced on taking a left across right-bound traffic on a busy street - that's real too - and, conversely, I sometimes have to goose the car to properly take it's turn at 4-way stops. Honestly, I find complicated surface street FSD use too anxiety-inducing to use routinely - and there's no way I'm going to let it navigate an area under construction.
@justsomeguy2663
4:03 did bluecruise slow down on its own during that scare or did you have to use the brake and take control.... or do you not recall because you pissed yourself
@mt2nv1
Oh, Edmunds… the comments say it all.
@mstreich
Changing lanes into the blind spot of a truck doesn’t seem like the best idea. 6:56
@ThatGuyThatGames24
Dude was overplaying keeping your hands on the wheel in the Tesla way, way too much
@dexagalapagos
I have a Tesla FSD and it's by far the best self-driving system out there right now. I just wish other companies licensed Tesla's self driving so I could get a nicer car. I don't much like Teslas as cars, but the FSD is nothing short of amazing. FSD + Cadillac's camera based attention monitoring would be an amazing combo.
@JRT-z5o
Just so there's no confusion about the cost of Tesla's software: Autopilot for highways is included in the price of the car. Enhanced Autopilot is $6k. FSD is $12K. You can also use Autopilot on city streets if you like, but it will not be nearly as good as FSD. Nor as "comfortable". Normal Autopilot will also not do turns; etc.
@TheLastMoccasin
Great video! Keep it up!
@alexnutcasio936
21:20 love the right front wheel curb rash on the Tesla. Someone's been a bad driver!!
@ThatOneDudeNick
For the hands-on requirement with FSD, does it let you do the finger resting on 10 thing or does it need two hands on?
@curlytoezz
4th place for the Tesla? How do you guys rank these lol? It literally got you from the highway to the hq office
@TimothyParker1
Why the hell did you compare road testing in the tesla to hwy testing on all the others! The Tesla was flawless on the hwy and performed well on roads.
@mstreich
Do wish you would do these tests in a mixture of day, night, sun, rain.
