Tesla owner shared footage of their car weaving through congested roads with no hands on the wheel

A Tesla owner shared a video of their car navigating a difficult road in China using FSD, and it did really well.

The car seamlessly dealt with bad roads and complicated traffic situations.

FSD is improving quite rapidly, and some people believe we’ll be able to use self-driving cars in any scenario sooner rather than later.

It definitely looks like that might be the case considering what we’ve seen in this video.

This Tesla can really drive itself

Tesla has always been clear that self-driving cars are the future of motoring. And judging by this clip, that’s entirely true.

The video, uploaded to the aptly named YouTube channel FSD in China, is impressive.

In the clip, the car navigated difficult roads and drove itself through congested traffic and narrow roads in China.

The driver didn’t have to intervene once as the system coped with everything without a problem.

Self-driving cars felt out of reach just a few short years ago. But now it looks like they’re going to be everywhere a lot sooner than we thought.

Tesla’s FSD, for example, is miles better than its predecessor, Autopilot, and has made staggering progress in the space of a decade.

Then there’s Waymo.

Google’s self-driving system, currently available in three cities – and adding three more later this year – has completed more than five million autonomous rides in total, with four million in 2024 alone.

At this rate, it’ll get to 10 million in no time at all.

How do self-driving cars work?

Generally, automakers agree that there are six levels of autonomy, ranging from Level 0 to 5.

With Level 0, the car has no autonomy at all, with no driver-assistance systems, while with Level 1 and Level 2 you get minimal autonomy with things like cruise control or obstacle detection.

Level 3 and Level 4 are similar because, in both cases, a human driver that’s ready to override is required.

Having said that, Level 4 is a lot closer to what we think autonomy is because, unlike with Level 3, the vehicle can do everything by itself, it can perform all tasks, and the vehicle can theoretically go from A to B by itself.

With Level 5, the vehicle is fully autonomous, with no ifs, ands, or buts.

You can get rid of the steering wheel, and the pedals, and the passenger can fall asleep after getting into the car and wake up when they arrive – safely – at their destination.

For reference, Mercedes is currently operating at Level 3, while Waymo and Tesla are operating at Level 4.

Ideally, at least in theory, Cybercab will reach Level 5 at some point.

We can’t wait for that day!
