Issue 272 - Elon Mode and 11.4.3

FSD Beta

Tesla rolls out FSD Beta v11.4.4 (2023.7.20)
The new version, now rolling out to testers, includes some interesting changes such as:

• Improved handling of oncoming cars on narrow, unmarked roads. This improvement is achieved by better predicting the trajectory of oncoming cars and leaving enough room for them to pass before re-centering.
• Better handling of VRUs near crosswalks, achieved by more accurately predicting their future intent.
• Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking in response to cut-in vehicles and vehicles located behind the ego vehicle while reversing.

11.4.3 with Elon mode 📹
Greentheonly drove 600 miles using version 11.4.3 in Elon mode and shared his impressions. With Elon mode enabled, the car's nag feature is disabled, and braking is gentler. Given that he didn't have to constantly monitor the car, he was more forgiving of the differences between the car's driving behavior and his own, making the experience much less annoying for him.
