Transcript

0:00 Speaker A: Forget the doubters, forget the hype. Speaker A: Supervised full self driving is finally here. Speaker A: Let's go for a ride. Speaker B: All right, let's get it started. Speaker B: We're going to be crossing on streets, also going through freeway and then some tiny streets as well. Speaker B: Let's see how it behaves. Speaker B: The first tough angle here is going to be making a left turn over two lanes, going across perfectly slowing down for the pedestrian here, Another self driving car.

0:37 Speaker B: And we're off. Speaker B: That was tiny, bit too aggressive, but we did it. Speaker B: By the way, it is not a Beta. Speaker B: This is fully launched supervised full self driving. Speaker B: That means that you no longer have to keep your hand on the wheel all the time. Speaker B: It's enough if you're keeping your attention on the road because of the inward facing camera that's constantly looking and tracking your eyes.

1:03 Speaker B: And I can also turn on the cameras here to show you what the car sees behind me, in front of me. Speaker B: And it's pretty crazy the amount of fidelity in the map here. Speaker B: So if you look at that 360 view like this is pretty insane. Speaker B: And also while we're driving, all of this is happening in real time. Speaker B: So going back to the camera view to show you what the car is seeing as well, The accelerations and the brakes are much smoother than they've ever been really.

1:37 Speaker B: Since I've been on the beta from 10 to 11 to now 12. Speaker B: Finally stopping the beta and getting to the full supervised self driving mode. Speaker B: I know this route pretty well. Speaker B: I've taken it before with the previous versions and I know where it generally has failed before. Speaker B: So that previous turn would have never happened. Speaker B: And we'll soon see the other turns as well. Speaker B: Getting into the right lane because we know that we'll soon be getting on a freeway.

2:10 Speaker B: It is committed and it's ready to get on the freeway perfectly going to the first lane, then merging to the faster lane and now we're entering the freeway. Speaker B: That was very smooth, very human like experience the same as I would do here. Speaker B: And interestingly, like on previous versions, it would have been nagging me to keep hold of the wheel.

2:38 Speaker B: But this time it's enough. Speaker B: As long as I'm paying attention to the road, it doesn't really nag me at all. Speaker B: I didn't even see that there was a pedestrian coming and it perfectly slowed down letting the person through. Speaker B: And now we are ready to go again. Speaker A: Well done. Speaker B: Like it was literally the person was behind the pillars.

3:03 Speaker B: I wasn't able to see the person, but it perfectly reacted and let the person go as you should. Speaker B: And another important factor once you arrive to a destination is finding a parking spot. Speaker B: So auto parts ready, start. Speaker B: It's going to pull forward. Speaker B: Needs to do that because otherwise it's not going to fit in. Speaker B: And I want to turn on the camera so you'll see what the car is doing as well. Speaker B: We're pretty close to the edge here.

3:28 Speaker B: All right, auto park in progress. Speaker B: We're backing into the parking spot. Speaker B: For Navidar and we made it. Speaker B: Auto park done. Speaker A: Complete. Speaker B: Wow. Speaker A: What do you think? Speaker A: Average American spends between nine to ten and Europeans four hours a week in their car. Speaker A: Full self driving would give them back between 15 to 30 days every year while increasing the comfort and safety in their car.

3:59 Speaker A: But is it worth the $200 a month or $12,000 when you buy the car? Speaker A: It does certainly feel to me like going from a full self driving car to a normal car. Speaker A: Like going from a normal car to a horse. Speaker B: It's really that big of a difference. Speaker A: And I hope you get to experience it soon as well. Speaker A: Thank you very much for watching and. Speaker B: I hope to see you next time.
