Insane downtown drive with Tesla FSD Beta 11.3.3 📹
DirtyTesla tests FSD Beta 11.3.3 in downtown traffic in this video. Chris expresses his admiration for the car's performance, citing excellent perception and trajectory in challenging situations like heavy traffic and parallel parking. Despite a few close calls, he rates the FSD's safety performance as A-grade. I can't wait to get back to my car and update it to 11.3.3!

 

Under the hood

Tesla's routing process
Greentheonly, a Tesla enthusiast, delved into the workings of Tesla's alternate route system and discovered some intriguing aspects. In addition to gathering alternate routes from Google Maps, Tesla vehicles download near-real-time information, such as stop signs, speed limits, and lane data. These regular updates significantly enhance the navigation experience, especially for those who frequently travel the same route. This system keeps Tesla's maps more up-to-date than relying solely on larger map updates.

Lars explains Tesla vehicle safety 📹
In this video, Lars Moravy, VP of Vehicle Engineering at Tesla, explains why Tesla vehicles provide a very low probability of rollover risk and occupant injury. Key features include energy-absorbing structures like the bumper, crush can, and front underbody casting, which help distribute impact energy across multiple load paths. The battery's positioning lowers the center of gravity, reducing rollover risks, while backup structures such as door rings, glass, and battery support provide additional protection.
