Can Tesla's Self-Driving Software Handle Bus-Only Lanes? Not Reliably, No. (fuelarc.com)

From the last earnings call in 2024, Elon discussing bus-lanes:

Like, bus lanes in China are one of our biggest challenges in making FSD work in China is their bus lanes are very complicated. And there's like literally like hours of the day that you're allowed to be there and not be there.

And then if you accidentally go in at bus lane at the wrong time, you get an automatic ticket instantly... Anyway, we'll get this solved.

Wait, what do you mean - this isn't already solved? Tons of markets have time-controlled bus lanes, including American cities where FSD is fully operational.

Turns out, nope! Videos of FSD ignoring bus-only lanes are easy to find.

I feel bad for the bus drivers in Austin who will be sharing their lane with Tesla's autonomous taxi fleet in a couple weeks...

I'm watching that retrofit conversation closely. Gooniebirds are currently stating that HW3 will be upgraded to HW5 directly (which does not exist beyond typically fantasist claims by the CEO that it will be an order of magnitude higher powered than HW4), so I'm not totally sure yet.

In the world we live in, in today-land where people are currently using FSD to drive their vehicles (in bus lanes and beyond!), the HW3 FSD vehicles were sold with false advertising. They cannot fully self drive, not safely, anyhow.

So yeah, we'll see. Also, heya!
