re: Does the Tesla autopilot work well in BR, or LA roads in general?

I’ve used it 20+ times. I’m just talking about the technology itself.

I'm neutral on him. But watching Democrats throw fits as he looks for inefficiency is hilarious.

I like it don't love it. If I can't do anything else while it drives me around it doesn't help that much. I enjoy it on interstate, but it's too slow around town. It's obnoxious to not be able to look around or behind me without it chirping or whining at me.
I like my tesla but don't love it. I find myself driving my personal vehicle on the weekend more and more, just becuase I don't have to plan around charging.

I’ve put in about 500 miles on Full Self-Drive over the past three weeks, and let me tell you—you couldn’t be more wrong. I was a little hesitant at first, but this car drives better than I ever could. Anyone repeating that nonsense you posted has clearly never let a Tesla take the wheel.
Does it let you set the speed maximum and will it adjust down if it thinks you’re going to fast?

How do they do with potholes?
I have to constantly alter my path in Shreveport to minimize pothole and road buckle encounters, but I still bang into a new obstacle now and then. I read about Waymo taxis crashing through a sinkhole in a street.

You know how I know a liberal is brainwashed? They call the opposition a Nazi.

My question is why FSD doesn't get Teslas out of the passing lane when they're not passing.

Yes you set maximum speed (capped at 85) and driving mode (in “hurry” mode it will try to drive the maximum if traffic/conditions allow)

Not great yet but some progress. If a car in front avoids, it has started sometimes doing the same. There is speculation they are working on improving this soon.

This behavior has gotten better in recent releases since they moved away from hard coded FSD to full end to end neural net. It now behaves more like how I would drive in moderate traffic. If there is traffic in the right lane that I would have to slow down for, then I’m just staying in the left lane until right lane is clear - I am not zig zagging because someone wants to drive 90mph, you can zig zag.

In general it is incredibly good now. I pretty much only drive the first and last few hundred feet and let FSD do the rest.
It drove me all the way down Magazine a few Saturdays ago and I kind of zoned out. Then realized it was passing cars waiting to turn, avoiding bicyclists, stopped twice for pedestrians in crosswalks and I touched nothing from the garden district to Audubon park.
Several times on the interstate I have put my phone in a mount behind the steering wheel to watch football and won’t have to touch anything for hours.
It doesn’t always drive exactly as you’d want, but it errs on the side on caution so I just sit back and relax while it does its thing and don’t worry about being in a huge hurry.

You can set a max speed limit for the car itself and a more granular max for your FSD session.
It also has three “speed profiles” (chill, standard, hurry). In standard it typically drives with the flow of traffic or slightly slower, but you can always lower the granular speed limit if you think it’s going faster than it should.

It does. Sometimes.
I feel like the consistency has varied between versions. I’m on 13.2.8 currently and I feel like 13.2.6 did the best job of appropriately getting you out of the passing lane when it should. Software updates have been frequent since I bought it in Nov and sometimes it’s two steps forward, one step back.
Usually I hit the signal button to make it get to the right.

I have never used Autopilot but Full Self Driving does great. I use it 75% of the time and rarely have to intervene in Baton Rouge.

What phone mount do you use?

Fully adjustable

When fully self driving cars are the norm and the majority of cars on the road are fully autonomous wrecks and traffic fatalities will drop to nearly zero.

GPS has my home 2 houses away. WAZE would have it three blocks over.

It’s just some cheap MagSafe stand from Amazon that’s meant to sit on a desk. I discovered one day it also will sit on the column between wheel and dash and hold my phone perfectly in the upper gap of steering wheel.
