It might even brake more extremely than that, but I don’t let it continue because going slower than 50 mph on the interstate is quite dangerous.įive months since my last article on this, FSD has made little progress, vindicating my prediction that FSD is years away from working as a level 5 driver. I appreciate all the truck drivers who bring me all my food and other goods, but they do clog up the interstates, and I found that about 2% of the time they would confuse NOA/FSD into slowing down from 80 mph to 50 mph (called “phantom braking”). I think it also might nag you less, but I’m not sure about that.

I found I prefer Navigate on Autopilot for driving on interstates because it doesn’t change lanes without warning (which happens with FSD even if you have it set to “minimal lane changes”). My son drove on Tesla Full Self Driving (FSD), while my profile was set to use Navigate on Autopilot (NOA). Although, a Model 3 is much less comfortable to sleep in (especially for two people) than the larger Model Y. Otherwise, we could have just slept in the back as I described in this article. The car was filled with my son’s belongings. We didn’t drive 24 hours a day like in a real “cannonball” run we stopped to sleep at hotels/motels. I’m using the term “cannonball” in a general sense to describe a long trip across the country. I moved from Minnesota to Florida at a similar age 30 years ago and it is an important part of my life experience. I mentioned that is about as far away from Florida as you can get in the continental US, and he replied “that is kind of the point.” I don’t know if he will like Seattle (more about that later), but I think it is good to leave the area you grew up in, because it helps you mature and better understand different regional perspectives.

A few months ago, my son decided to move from Florida (where he has lived his whole life) to Seattle. In the article, I describe what I learned about Tesla Supercharging, Tesla Autopilot & Full Self Driving, gas station food, the healthcare system in the US, and my initial impressions of Seattle.
