Is FSD good on the highway?

Looking back, Chris says FSD ignored the navigation five separate times to take him on the highway rather than move to a different part of the mall parking lot; he concludes navigation is not fixed.

FSD badly messed up navigation, appeared to set up a U-turn, fully ignored the route, and got onto the highway, forcing a full reroute and ending the video because highway speeds ruin the roof cam.

On 14.1, FSD missed two critical expressway exits shown in navigation, forcing last-minute takeovers.

When a truck slammed on brakes and horned with debris and tire smoke for a very slow highway entrant, FSD did not flinch; driver took over saying FSD is not smart enough for that.

He describes a past highway incident where the car drifted into an exit lane at about 60 mph as an example of the long-standing lane-drift bug.

FSD kept accelerating as a semi moved into their lane; he disengaged and moved over rather than let the car freak out the truck driver, with no imminent collision.

Approaching a stoplight Autopilot neither stops nor gives a warning, forcing the creator to hit the brake at the last second.

Immediately after the slow merge Autopilot swerved across a lane line in a way the driver had never seen and called really bad and confidence-destroying.

At a weird post-exit intersection, the car tried twice to proceed through a red light and the driver had to take over again.

On the highway in heavy rain, a red take-over-immediately warning appeared and the car slowed rapidly without recovering, so he had to take over.

On the way over, a sudden rain burst at about 80 mph caused red hands; FSD began slowing and he took over after waiting a few seconds, then re-enabled with no further mistakes.

FSD entered the wrong left-turn lane for getting on the highway, a regression he voice-reports daily, forcing a disengagement.

At a tough left-turn area FSD began taking a turn that was not theirs, so he took over and explicitly called it a disengagement.

FSD ignored a needed left and headed onto 996; creator disengaged to avoid taking the highway on the wrong road.

FSD randomly moved into an exit lane they were not supposed to take; driver disengaged to keep the same comparison route as the Cybertruck drive.

After two attention strikes while demonstrating, he exits the highway, goes to Park, and turns FSD back on to restore hands-free.

Omar reported highway V12 in very heavy rain was not impressive: speed limited to 60 mph and repeated red-hands takeovers saying the car was not able to drive.

Chris braked and manually merged onto the highway because he was not comfortable with the car cutting off traffic.

After an odd move into a right turn lane, Chris took over because he did not actually want to enter the highway.

Car again tries to change into a right passing lane that should not be driven; driver disengages because someone is too close behind.

He uses the turn signal expecting a driver-requested lane change but it disengages everything, a new behavior he did not expect.

Emergency vehicle stopped on the right; he moves over for legal move-over and counts it as a disengagement because the car only slows for emergency lights at night and will not change lanes away.

After a good stop and right turn at the first stop sign on the highway exit, the car was going to run the second back-to-back stop sign, so he gently tapped the brake, stopped, then re-enabled beta.

He accidentally disengaged by putting pressure on the wheel so Autopilot would not nag while entering/using the highway.

Coming into the correct highway-entry lane too hot, driver took over; car failed a cement curb area it usually handles.

Autopilot says take over immediately; he takes over because the system is confused in intense rain.

After exiting the highway, a historically sketchy left turn was messed up again before a later recovery on green.

Car hit its brakes while merging for another vehicle; creator felt it probably should have gone and took over driving.

Accidental takeover while merging because the creator just had his hands on the wheel.

Creator took over because the car was moving a little too far to the right, a tendency he noted with this build even without snow.

During a Grok navigation demo, FSD avoided contact with a semi after aggressive truck behavior; Chris says it prevented touching the semi.

FSD stops far enough back for another vehicle to cut in, resulting in a very close gap before a difficult traffic squeeze.

A human driver nearly caused a bad incident ahead; Chris reacted strongly and noted another attention double-beep.

Chris recounts a highway driver cutting in extremely close; FSD moved over a bit but late compared with how he would have steered manually.

On the rainy highway, FSD locked speed profiles to chill and misread a 45 mph workers-present limit with no workers, holding about 47 mph in a 60 mph zone, so he pressed the accelerator.

Fail number two: FSD backed into a slanted Supercharger stall but not close enough to plug in (tire on curb / awkward stall layout), requiring manual repositioning.

At a divided highway requiring a Michigan left, the car and nav wanted an illegal direct left despite many no-turn signs.

Lowered max speed to 75 because assertive highway passing felt too fast for snowy conditions; creator counts this as the one technical intervention.

Car slowed hard for a blue vehicle ahead on the highway exit approach; he touched the wheel (and noted the nag may have cleared just before) — the stated highway intervention.

Looking down at his watch to read a text triggers an audible “please pay attention to the road” warning, which he treats as a second attention strike.

Car waited for traffic and missed the intended parking lot, heading toward highway; driver turned around to retry parking.

Creator planned to take over after the first exit to send the car around the roundabout and later manually drove while setting a more interesting highway loop destination.

FSD is very hesitant to pull into heavy fast traffic, so he restarts it; it then accelerates hard to get out.

Creator took over to prevent re-entering the highway after awkward parking-lot exit creeping, letting the car finish exiting first.

Driver washed the dirty windshield mid-drive for visibility/recording, noting the car only auto-washes when stopped at a red light; he debates counting it as an intervention.

When a car flies up behind them, he changes lanes himself after counting down because the car does not change lanes when it should.

On a 55 mph road, car hard-brakes toward ~40 for a blinking yellow with traffic behind, so Chris hits the accelerator and refuses to allow that slowdown.

Highway on-ramp is entered a little hot, car brakes hard, and he bumps the accelerator so it continues; merge afterward is fine.
