Yeah, that train trip does sound cool. I have seen ads for that. One of those cruises on the smaller ships up the New England coast would be cool too. On another subject, I was thinking about the full self driving thing today after a discussion came up about people not stopping for school buses anymore. Do Teslas know to stop for the flashing red lights of a bus?

There are so many options now! Even Viking cruise line is doing a MS River cruise from here to New Orleans. Oh yes, FSD absolutely does recognize the school buses and knows when to stay stopped (as kids are boarding or getting out). It did a few very impressive things during my drives. Once it started slowing down and I was ready to disengage figuring it was an error and low and behold there was someone trying to get out of a parallel parking spot on my side of the street about a half block ahead. There's no way I could have noticed it that far ahead but car caught it. Another time a father with a baby carriage was waiting on a sidewalk to cross at a crosswalk in an intersection with no lights or stop signs. Somehow the car knew to stop and let them cross. I was impressed by that.
Wow, that is pretty impressive. I had been looking online and it appeared that in the past the system struggled with that sort of thing. They must have fixed it.
That would be cool to take a trip down the Mississippi.
Yeah, it's pretty well honed now from what I understand. They're doing away with the "steering wheel nag" with the next FSD update so Tesla must be fairly comfortable with the safety of it. It's going to take a lot of work to get full autonomy approved in the US though. I think we'll see it in places like China long before it's approved here. It would be cool to do a trip like that. I've never felt drawn to New Orleans but would be willing to check it out as long is it wasn't around Mardi Gras time.
I was wrong about school buses! I just did a little searching and a lot of people say FSD still struggles with that, very odd!
Sadly that's the one thing that people are probably going to focus on. It seems like it should be a pretty easy fix for Tesla based on how well the cards seem to be able to sense other things.
I agree, it's a major defect. I never would have thought the AI would have this kind of blindspot considering how well in performs in other areas.
I agree with you, I've never had much desire to visit Mardi Gras. From what I have heard it's just dirty and crowded and loud. Maybe when I was younger... :)
Definitely! Nothing about that kind of partying appeals to me now.
