In this segment of the video, the presenter is testing the new FSD beta update version 12.3.1 from Tesla. The car successfully navigates a right turn and an unprotected left turn, although it hesitated slightly at one point. It then makes a left turn smoothly onto Crenshaw Boulevard but struggles to maintain proper lane positioning, veering onto the center line and almost hitting the curb. The presenter notes these issues in the driving behavior of the car during this test drive.
00:03:00
In this part of the video, the driver talks about their experience driving a vehicle that seems to have issues with speed limit recognition. They mention the car incorrectly reading speed limit signs, causing it to slow down abruptly and frustrating other drivers behind them. This results in lane changing attempts by frustrated drivers.

In this segment of the video, the narrator is observing a vehicle making a left turn with a Green Arrow signal and notes that it is keeping a good distance from the curb. They comment on possible overcorrection but acknowledge the desired distance from the curb. The vehicle then merges well by moving towards the center smoothly, resembling human behavior. It stops at a stop sign and merges easily without any nearby vehicles. The vehicle maintains a speed slightly over 35 mph in a 35 mph zone, which the narrator considers appropriate, reaching a speed of 38 mph.
00:09:00
In this segment of the video, the car makes a right turn onto Py Boulevard heading towards Redondo Beach. The driver approaches a stop sign smoothly and navigates a potentially dangerous situation with pedestrians crossing the street. The car handles the uneven pavement and merges into traffic smoothly.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, the autonomous vehicle navigates a slippery intersection. The vehicle hugs the lane line closely but adjusts its position. The vehicle speeds up to accommodate a car behind it and successfully makes a left turn. It approaches a roundabout cautiously, yielding to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. The vehicle demonstrates improved decision-making by avoiding a double yellow line and waiting for traffic signals.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the driver is testing the car’s performance along a beach road with a bike path. Despite flashing red lights, the old car version had issues coping with these situations. The new release still shows the same strange behavior, disappointing the driver. The lane positioning might have been somewhat improved, but other issues persist. The driver also notes windy conditions and a lack of pedestrians providing challenges for the car.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their first drive using a zero intervention system. They mention some weird moments during the drive where they could have potentially taken over, but it was not urgent as there were no other cars around. The speaker notes that the new behavior was interesting but not necessarily better than a previous experience. They conclude by sharing that they will conduct more testing and provide further updates in the future.
