Foreign media actually measured Tesla’s latest version of FSD Beta V10.12: The turning speed is too fast, and there is still the risk of ghost braking.

Recently, Fred Lambert, a reporter from foreign media electrek, released a video that was tested in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. The video shows that during the test, this version of the FSD existed many times, that is, the vehicle suddenly slowed down without necessity, and even almost drove the car to a cliff.

Fred was always ready to take over during the test. In this test, Fred only took over once, that is, the time when Tesla FSD Beta V10.12 drove the car to the cliff.

On the whole, during the 13-minute test, the overall performance of Tesla FSD beta version V10.12 is ok, but many times of "ghost braking" and wrong judgment are still frightening, and problems such as "ghost braking" still need to be solved.

Fred said that the reason why he chose to test in the Blue Ridge Mountains is that there are few intersections here and the road traffic markings are clear. He believes that in this environment, Tesla’s FSD will perform well.

This is also the case. In most cases in the test, the computer vision inspection system of FSD Beta V10.12 runs well, and Fred’s Model 3 always stays in the center of the lane.

In the middle of the test, Fred met hikers, who were close to the road and the road was not covered by shoulders. Tesla FSD Beta V10.12 version, then controlled the vehicle to slow down, and even planned to drive a little to the left to make way for the hikers.

However, in addition to these advantages, Tesla FSD Beta V10.12 has some serious shortcomings.

Fred said that the most annoying thing about FSD Beta V10.12 is that the vehicle suddenly slows down without sufficient reason.

The video shows that "ghost braking" happened several times during driving. Although Fred feels that the sudden deceleration is not so obvious when the "ghost brake" occurs, it may only be because the speed of this test is a little slow.

In addition, Fred also noticed that the speed of Tesla FSD Beta V10.12 in controlling the turning of vehicles is also somewhat inconsistent. As you can see in the video, Tesla’s FSD controls the vehicle to slow down at some corners that don’t seem to need to slow down.

In addition, in the 8-mile (about 12.8 km) and 13-minute test, Fred only took over the driver once, but this time it was taken over in a very dangerous situation.

In the 12th minute and 56th second of the test, Tesla FSD Beta V10.12 controls the vehicle to turn sharply too fast. When Fred found that the car was crossing two lanes and heading for the other side of the road, he immediately stepped on the brakes. It was a very scary moment.

Tesla FSD turned sharply and almost threw the owner off the cliff.

Strangely, the FSD beta version V 10.12 should know that there is a sharp turn in this road and it is necessary to slow down the vehicle. Because its speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) slower than the set speed, but somehow it didn’t correctly predict that turn.

In addition, it can be seen from the predicted path (blue line) displayed on the screen inside the car.

According to Fred’s test video, there are still many problems in Tesla’s FSD Beta V10.12 version. Although this version has greatly improved the recognition of some straight roads and vehicles, the problems of "ghost braking" and automatic turning still need to be solved.

This test also reminds Tesla owners that if they use this version of the test software, they still need to be highly vigilant and ready to take over at any time to ensure driving safety.
