Tesla's FSD Software Is Already Superhuman In Many Ways: Adjusts On the Fly In Microseconds

Tesla's FSD is already superhuman in many ways and is seen recently in a video adjusting in real-time in a matter of microseconds.

Tesla FSD Is Already Superhuman In Many Ways

Edge Case, an X account showing Tesla's FSD doing numerous things that are superhuman and very quick to react when it counts, posted a video recently that shows the superhuman calculating of Tesla's FSD system and how it has a "sixth sense."

This sixth sense enables it to predict behavior far better than a human because it remembers far more videos than any human ever could remember in driving experiences.

Edge Case says:

This is how we, as driver assistants, build trust with the robot. Watch this subtle but powerful behavior on this left turn. FSD 12 was preparing to make the turn as that first car finished passing through. But as soon as the obstruction cleared it immediately pulled back slightly and you could feel that inside the car. It gives you a sense of security saying back to you “Don’t worry, I see it, I got you”

If you happen to live in the LA area, you can book a ride with Edge Case and see FSD version 12 in action for yourself - or you can just go to his Twitter account, which I have linked at the bottom of this article.

Seeing Superhuman FSD In Action - Slow Motion

Here is a video of this situation that Edge Case took a video of, except it is slowed down considerably. In it, you can see the superhuman nature of FSD in action.

In watching the video that is much slower (it's the second one below in the Tweet below), you can see FSD making decisions and corrections in microseconds based on the vision system's data.

Here are the sequence of events that I see:

The car is driving forward in the far left lane, getting ready to turn left with a blinker on. As it is doing this, there is a car approaching in the opposite lane and doing a left turn of its own, so the car can't turn left yet because it can't see past the other car turning left in front of it.

As that car going to turn left clears the lane ahead, the Tesla vehicle signals in the UI that it is going to turn left with a left turning path in the visual display. However, the car turning left in front hasn't quite finished its left turn yet.

The moment the entire opposite lane ahead is clear, the Tesla vehicle immediately corrects and shows a small path ahead for it without the left turning in the UI. The reason for this is that there is a car approaching from the opposite lane, and it is close enough that a left-hand turn does not make sense. So, the Tesla vehicle simply inches forward a bit.

Try to time how fast the UI turned to a straight line instead of a left turn line. It is basically instant to the human eye, and thus, I say microsecond decision-making.

It can then make the unprotected left-hand turn once traffic is clear. The car was careful and adjusted in real-time to the traffic, just like a human, but with a faster reaction time.

As Tesla improves its hardware, cameras, and processing power, the reaction times like this are going to get faster. Tesla will react the moment the car is out of the lane to the pixel on the screen and make a decision then.

This is how Tesla's FSD software is already superhuman in some areas - it has an attention span that is never distracted and always thinking and seeing the environment. No human can focus 100% of the time like Tesla's FSD can. Its reaction time is also exceptionally fast to the driving environment on the road.
