“Did well on my test loop 1, still having issues seeing the speed bumps soon enough but that will come with time and more data,” said Locke.
“Also experienced an interesting issue with lane selection but let it play out as was safe to do so and car corrected itself in time for an upcoming left turn,” detailed Locke, adding, “Overall [seeing] improvements with speed control, also noticing improved left turn decision making which will be on my next video.”
Below is a “beautiful” uncontrolled left turn where Locke says he is seeing some big improvements in this latest FSD beta release:
