'Tesla's fully automated driving is just name' valued by over 800,000 yen value and consumer report
The American consumer group Consumers Union, which reviewed the
Tesla'Full Self-Driving Capability' Review-Consumer Reports
https://www.consumerreports.org/autonomous-driving/tesla-full-self-driving-capability-review-falls-short-of-its-name/
The monthly consumer report published by Consumers Union was tested with the software update '2020.24.6.4' installed on 'Model 3' that supports FSD. As a result, although there were improvements in the functions that have been pointed out previously, such as Autopark , Lane Change , and Summon , the latest functions are Smart Summon, Navigate on Autopilot, Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control have reported many problems.
``Tesla's FSD doesn't fit its name,'' said Jake Fisher, senior director of automotive testing in the Consumer Report. To ensure drivers and other vehicles aren't compromised Should be required.”
◆Autopark
Autopark is an automatic parking function that allows you to park in parallel with one button. According to a consumer report, Autopark worked as advertised in some tests, but I ran into issues that often 'don't recognize parking spaces.' In this regard, the Consumer Report said, 'It's inconsistent to be aware when one car passes a parking space, but not another when it's going through the same place. Similar features It's been installed on cars from other manufacturers for a long time, and even those can suffer from the same problem.'

Also, Kelly Funkhauser, Consumer Report's head of self-driving car testing, said, ``I often get embarrassed when I get out of the car because I often do not park straight in the parking space. There was.'
◆ Lane Change
Lane Change is a function that automatically changes lanes when you turn on the blinker while using the Autosteer function that helps keep lanes on highways. The Consumer Report says, 'This feature isn't Tesla specific, it's a simple feature and it works as advertised. Drivers can change lanes without steering, and if a car is already on the move it's impossible. There will be no lane changes to the vehicle.” No particular problems were seen.
However, Mr. Fischer said, 'The safety of lane changes is ultimately the responsibility of the driver,' stressing that safety confirmation by the driver is essential.
◆Summon
Summon is a function that enables remote parking using a smartphone or mobile key. For more details, read the following article.
A new function ``Summon'' that can remotely park Tesla ``Model S'' with a smartphone has appeared, and I have seen how it actually moves-GIGAZINE
According to the Consumer Report, Summon also has the problem of sticking out of the designated parking space or entering the parking space diagonally. Also, what Summon is most effective at is 'to prevent drivers from moving cars in and out of narrow parking lots,' Consumer Report points out, but in the owner's manual for Model 3 ' Parking in tight spaces limits the ability of sensors to accurately detect the location of obstacles, increasing the risk of damaging the vehicle and surrounding objects.'
Funk Hauser said, 'Unfortunately, Tesla does not offer the best use case for Summon. If it wasn't for parking in tight spaces, what would this system be all about?' I don't know.'
◆Smart Summon
Unlike Summon that parks remotely, Smart Summon has the function of automatically picking up the car to you in the parking lot. In fact, when Consumer Report used smart summons in its parking lot, the car tried to follow more complicated routes than necessary, stuck on slopes, or didn't respond at all, which caused many problems. It seems to have caused. Even if you arrive safely at the driver, you can run in the opposite lane in the parking lot, ignore the temporary stop, turn around too much and turn back when you are about to hit the parked car and turn back, There was also a very dangerous act.
From this perspective, the Consumer Report said, 'Smart Summon may not be able to detect all obstacles, so drivers must constantly monitor the car and its surroundings and use it within line of sight.' 'I don't think drivers who witness this inconsistent behavior will ever use Smart Summon again,' Funkhauser said.
◆Navigate on Autopilot
Navigate on Autopilot is a function that optimizes the route to the destination by proposing lane changes on highways and by adjusting so that you do not stay behind slow vehicles such as trucks.
However, when the Consumer Report actually used the Navigate on Autopilot, it completely ignored the freeway exit and left the route, saying that there was more than the specified number of people when only one was in the car. He said he ran in the
``This feature has a setting that turns off Lane Change confirmations and warnings, but it's a real worry, if not a danger. You may be surprised by a dangerous lane change that you do not do.'
◆Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
'Traffic Light' and 'Stop Sign' are functions that recognize the 'traffic light' and the 'stop sign', respectively, to slow down or stop the vehicle. However, when Consumer Report ran with these functions enabled, it stopped at a green light. I could run without stopping at the green light only when there was a preceding car or when I disabled the function.
In other cases, it seems that there were cases where the driver couldn't recognize the stop line and stopped very far in front of the stop line, or, on the contrary, he was likely to plunge into an intersection. In addition, it was not able to handle roundabout type intersections, and it seems that it stopped at the place where it should have passed.
From these review results, the Consumer Report concludes that ``Tesla said it will improve the function of FSD, but the FSD option at the moment is not worth the expensive price of $ 8,000 (about 850,000 yen)'' It was.
