Something silly to me about getting the car to drive home on auto and then soaking up valuable cpu processor time that should really be on driving, on silly questions… oh well..

As you are driving you can ask it which local stores carry a certain product and which of them has it at the lowest price.

If you see a "For Sale" on a house it can tell you the specs and I bet it could also quote recent sales prices of neighboring houses.

It doesn't have real time flight information yet but I could see a day where if you were going to pick up somebody at an airport it could alert you if the flight landed. Theoretically if it had access to the iPhone "Find my" data it could track the person walking in the terminal and meet them at a specific door.

How Good Is Tesla's FSD? I Find Out Driving 1,100 Miles From Florida To New Jersey​

Sure, but that’s like saying “deaths will happen” - considering Elon keeps promising success when FSD basically slams into trucks or cannot work in all conditions while asking people to trust it.

The all camera approach is simply leaving too many failure points and Robotaxi Snafus are going to make it soo much more public.

Waymo has had similar issues in the Phoenix metro area.

If you are alluding to deaths attributed to "FSD" then stop listening to media stories written by people who do not know what they are talking about and whose salaries are paid for by car company adverts.

First off only one person has been killed by FSD and that was a motorcyclist which a Tesla in FSD mode hit at night back in March of 2024 in Seattle. No other deaths have been attributed to it....but the Musk-hating-media tries its very best to make it sound like it was FSD.

Second yes numerous other people have been killed but that was NOT FSD...it was when people were using the car's cruise control (which almost all automakers these days have and plenty of people get into needless accidents due to it)..which Tesla named AutoPilot (they should have never given it a name).

I have never used the cruise control on any car I have ever owned because it is a disaster waiting to happen. Having a car driving at a constant speed with almost no care in the world is ridiculous. So I have never used the Autopilot in my Tesla. Seeing videos of people falling asleep or jumping into the backseat on the highway is insanity.

FSD != Cruise Control

There was a test in China which pitted their latest driving software of their top brands against Tesla's cruise control...not FSD...and guess what...the stupid Autopilot still came out #1. Which is ridiculously sad. Those car makers with their LiDAR/Radar/Cameras haven't accomplished anything.

Tesla Completes FSD v14 Test with Swedish Transport Administration​


Tesla’s push to bring Full Self-Driving (FSD) (Supervised) to Europe has taken a significant step forward in Sweden. This week, the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) carried out a joint site assessment test (SAT) with Tesla for the company’s upcoming FSD v14 software on Swedish roads.

This test comes after the company was denied approval earlier this year to conduct similar trials in Stockholm.

According to the agency, the SAT has now been completed and results are under review. The assessment process is expected to take between one and two weeks. If approved, Tesla will be allowed to test FSD v14 on selected highways and roads across Sweden. These early trials would represent the first official testing of FSD on public roads in the country. (via @LinkN01)

However, city driving remains a separate challenge. Urban testing requires municipal approval, and so far no Swedish city has granted permission. Södertälje, located just south of Stockholm, is viewed as a possible next candidate if the municipality approves Tesla’s application. Local community advocates are already exploring ways to encourage municipal leaders to allow the trials, which would provide Tesla with valuable urban driving data.

Previous Setbacks in Stockholm​

Tesla’s progress in Sweden has not been without obstacles. Earlier this year, the company was denied permission to test FSD in Stockholm. While many assumed safety or software performance concerns were behind the rejection, the city’s Traffic Office explained that the refusal was due to resource constraints. Officials said they were overwhelmed by numerous ongoing “innovation projects” and did not have the capacity to support Tesla’s request at that time.

In its statement, the Stockholm Traffic Office noted that it was still updating its approach to automation and highlighted the risks of running a pilot across the entire city without the proper regulatory framework in place. Despite that setback, Tesla has continued to work with Swedish authorities to find new opportunities for testing.

Broader European Context​

Tesla’s efforts in Sweden are part of a wider strategy to expand FSD to Europe, where regulators remain cautious about autonomous and semi-autonomous driving systems. While FSD is now available in Canada, the U.S., Mexico, China, Australia, and New Zealand, most European countries have taken a slower, more risk-averse approach.

Tesla has previously showcased FSD to a Swedish Transportation official in Germany, but so far no country in Europe has authorized public road testing.

With these tests, Sweden could therefore become one of the first, marking a breakthrough for Tesla on the continent.

If the Swedish Transport Administration approves the results of the SAT, Tesla will soon be able to test FSD v14 on specific stretches of highway. Urban testing in Södertälje or elsewhere could follow, provided local municipalities give the green light.
