There are more reports of greatly improved rides from the Tesla FSD 12.X.
There are reports that Tesla will start a public rollout beyond employees by the end of January, 2024.
Tesla FSD is rolling out in China now. Tesla FSD was almost non-existent in China up until 2024.

Just went for a drive with an employee with 12.1,. It is very impressive.
Curb to curb zero disengagement drive on a beautiful sunny day on my test loop (they have only had a no-disengagement drive “a couple of times” on this loop in 3+ years).
V12.1 actually merged properly.
It was being conservative with speed when it didn’t have any other traffic and it didn’t see the first speed bump until the last second and it braked once it did which wasn’t very smooth.
Turn signals are very natural.
Slowing to a stop was very human like.
Really a very impressive build. But again a beautiful day here.
The first speed bump I might have braked sooner but that was in the end it did brake in time.
It would pull up to and stop perfectly at the curb of my house. We engaged from the curb and it properly signaled and left the curb.

Speed bump.
Why?… why does the car not know about the speed bump?
The car should remember every speed bump, stop sign, speed sign, etc. it has EVER seen.
It should be constantly updating its memory of the roads AND sharing this info with every other car.
A car should be able to drive on a road it has never seen, BUT it should also be able to query a shared car memory of every road any intelligent car has ever driven on.
The mistake Tesla is making is NOT having a memory of every road the car has driven on AND not having a shared memory all the cars can tap into.
The cost of computer memory to remember every inch of road every car every drives would be massive. Basically your entire trunk would have to be hard drives. Lol
I eagerly await the “d” software that fixes all your concerns..
Sounds like he didn’t dare to go Downtown or on the freeway🙃…..
