Along the drive we look at highway lane change behavior, unprotected left turns, and multiple parking scenarios. I also attempt to deliberately trigger the evasion feature on the highway and reflect on my recent CyberCab ride in Austin. Highlights: - Attempted twice to trigger automatic collision evasion by disengaging steering and looking into the back seat, but the feature did not activate - Successfully completed the unprotected left turn and followed immediately with a rolling U-turn without stopping - Observed highway lane changes in Hurry profile showing more urgency to clear the left lane alongside frequent blinker activity - Failed angled parking at Five Points when the occupancy network stopped the car six feet short of the curb, leaving the rear sticking into traffic - Evaluated the chain parking location twice, resulting in a severely misaligned back-in first attempt and a suspected geofenced stop on the second - Cleanly navigated around an open car door into the gore area and gave wide clearance to a pedestrian standing by a vehicle - Successfully backed into a Supercharger stall fully centered with no manual steering intervention Subscribe to @ChuckCook for continuous, detailed evaluations of Tesla Full Self-Driving builds.","meta_description":"We take the Model Y out on FSD 14.3.9 to test the new automatic collision evasion feature and see how it handles our regular route.
