I intentionally left the in-car audio out of this video. Tesla has made it clear to my friend that any comments / actions of this system that negatively affect the company will be instant removal from early access program (typical Tesla). I will try to obtain approval from the owner of the car to post the audio version during the drive. The objective without audio was to protect his good standing with the company. Out of Spec has no agreements with Tesla at all, just being respectful of our friend’s wishes. My take: The vision sees almost everything, very impressive. On non-complicated roads the system seemed solid and I saw almost no regression from current public versions of Autopilot. In the tight city environment, I was probably the least impressed of the group. The car was consistently confused around intersections, preemptive lane changes were non-existent, cutting corners too tight to the point where I took over to not curb wheels, and not driving with regard of other vehicles in the vicinity (basically confusing everyone with huge swerves and weird maneuvers etc) were negatives. Cool to see the progression of Tesla's system and the approach they are taking for assisted driving!
