- The future is kind of here right now.
We're just going to get in the car
and ask it to take us somewhere.
Oh, it's not touching yet.
A lot of you guys know about autopilot.
It's something where you get on the freeway.
You pull on the little trigger
and the car will drive down the freeway,
stay in its lane, change lanes sometimes.
It's pretty cool.
It'll even get off the freeway for you.
I get a little uncomfortable.
I don't even let it take me off the freeway.
I just let it cruise in the lane on the freeway.
And it's fantastic. I love it.
This is the Tesla Model S Raven,
which is the fastest car that you can get right now.
2.2 seconds, zero to 60,
but this particular Tesla Raven edition
is unlike any other Tesla Raven in the world.
Elon Musk is probably the only other person
that has a Tesla with the capabilities that this one has,
the full self-driving option.
This is my friend, Eli.
You may remember him from the boring tunnel event
where you have an incredible magazine
about Elon Musk, right?
- Yeah, The Adventures of Star Man.
I actually just released episode one then.
And just last week we dropped episode four.
- [Vlogger] So four already?
Holy smokes.
- This is my star ship.
Wrapped beautiful stainless steel
'cause I'm friends with Star Man.
So obviously this car has to look awesome.
Tesla entrusted me with the FSD beta
and basically so that I can go out
and help provide them test data.
But I'm also been given special permission
to actually share with you guys and the world
what the capabilities of this feature are.
- [Vlogger] Okay what's the top things
that have blown your mind so far while you've had it?
- What's totally blown me away about this FSD beta
is watching it go through an unprotected left-hand turn,
no lane markings like when we exit this neighborhood here
and come up to the stop sign.
It'll even tell me when,
if we can't see far enough,
it'll say creeping forward to observe.
It'll creep forward,
it'll look at what's going on around,
and then when it's safe, it'll take off.
And it does it with pretty good amount of confidence
and a really decent speed.
Like it's not crawling, it's going.
- Okay, enough talk.
You guys are here to watch us drive the car
or to let the car drive us somewhere.
I'm curious to see how this is going to work.
Eli tells me I shouldn't be nervous
because he's been testing it for a while and it works.
Okay. What grocery store are we going to?
- We're going to go to Albertsons.
- Okay. Albertsons. They have good donuts.
- This is something entirely new with this FSD beta.
I'm going to double click the stick,
which normally you do on a street with lane lines.
But check this out.
(beeping)
- Look at that.
It's telling you stopping for traffic control
because it sees the stop sign. That is so trippy.
That whole sign right there.
Okay. So we're at an intersection right here.
There's the actual stop sign. It's stopping.
It's turning. There's no cars.
(upbeat music)
It sees, think it sees,
that there's an intersection coming up.
Yeah, it sees it, and it sees the little tree island.
Look at the tree.
It sees the tree, it's purple.
Okay. All right.
We're in the right lane here stopping for traffic. Okay.
That car went by pretty quick.
It was like a green box on there.
Oh, we're turning right.
Okay. We're going, oh, we're going right.
(upbeat music)
Here we go. Driving down the street.
We've got a car in front of us
that's basically a green box on the screen.
We're going 49 miles an hour.
Just like regular Tesla autopilot,
you have your hands close to it.
You can take over whenever.
- Only thing I've been adjusting here
is adjusting what the max speed is set to
with the little stick.
So I've got it set to like 45 miles an hour.
- So we're pulling up right now.
We're already there.
Okay. It's trying to figure out its way.
It's turning. There's lots of stuff going on.
Oh, he's not touching it.
- By the way. Look at this.
Watch it navigate this parking lot.
(electronic music)
- Oh my gosh. Look at all the red boxes.
Those are cars.
What the heck?
That is trippy.
All the different colors on the screen right there.
Hey, we have the FSD driving beta.
That's another Tesla.
Okay. So it's literally pulling up.
- It's gonna stop right here
because that's the final destination.
- Okay. Let's give it a little something else.
Does it see that lady right there?
- Yes.
- [Vlogger] Oh, there she is.
She's a green box.
- Yep.
- Does it see her face mask?
It's a cool face mask.
Check out this light.
It's got a blinking yellow.
Oh, it's red on the other one, but it knows.
Oh my gosh, it's going fast.
(upbeat music)
As soon as the light turns green, it turns green on there.
It's kind of following the car in front of us.
It's going fast, and then it's turning.
It's just turning. The wheel's just turning.
I know it's a car, but it's driving.
My Tesla doesn't do this.
(upbeat music)
- You can see its path calculated by the dotted line.
- Oh, yeah the gray dotted line.
There's a car driving by, it sees it.
Does it see any others? No.
No.
Okay. It's like, here we go. We're good.
So he successfully went from a neighborhood
to the grocery store.
A couple of things that blew my mind.
First of all, that it could recognize the cars
and make like right-hand turns.
That's pretty insane.
Left-hand turns are crazy too.
But then once you got in the parking lot,
the way that it visualizes everything,
it visualizes the cars, the people, the lines on the road,
everything, so check this out.
It's still coming. Oh, it's coming.
Oh, it's coming.
It's tripped out by me.
Here it comes.
All right, it's gonna turn right there.
What if I'm running? What happens if I go like this?
It just stopped.
What happens if I go like this?
Okay. So how did it do with me jumping in front of it?
- It saw you coming across the screen
and as soon as you bolted out in front,
it slammed the brakes and stopped.
- [Vlogger] And then did it want to start going
once I started going again or?
- It waited until you were kind of clear out of the way,
and then it slowly started edging off.
- I want to test this thing down a Las Vegas Boulevard.
This is the Aria Hotel and Casino.
We are going to get in the car,
ask it to take us to the Tesla superchargers.
This is the first time a Tesla full self-driving beta
has been on the Las Vegas Boulevard.
(upbeat music)
And we're off.
A taxi to our right, taxi to our left.
Upcoming lane change is coming,
We are driving on the road
where I wrote in the Mercedes-Benz
fully automated car once. Oh, we're changing lanes.
There's a car kind of in our lane and not in our lane.
How are we going to navigate that?
Whoa.
- [Eli] Went around it.
(upbeat music)
- Look at all those yellow boxes.
Those are all the people.
(upbeat music)
- It can't even see that the corner's there yet,
but it knows based on navigation
that it's going to be there.
So it's already predicting its path.
(upbeat music)
- Lane turn, lots going on.
Lots of colors on the boxes.
That car pulled a U-turn and the car was like,
beep beep beep beep, look out for that one,
but we didn't take over. Okay.
That was a tricky one. It did it.
Two years ago, I was here at CES, in Las Vegas,
and Mercedes-Benz had their autopilot program.
All of the data that we're seeing on the screen,
it looks like some video game.
That's a kind of what the Mercedes-Benz one looked like
two years ago.
A side note, Mercedes-Benz has actually stopped
their autonomous driving program.
Like it's done right now.
They're not doing it. Supposedly.
I think that's the last thing I read about it,
but what the guys told me when they were there, they said,
right now the cars are good enough to cover 99%
of the different scenarios
that they're going to encounter on the roads.
But it's that 1%, that extra 1%
that they need to collect data for
and then program the car and teach the software
and the artificial intelligence.
When a kangaroo jumps across the road,
what is the pattern for it?
How does the software react to that?
So that hopefully that 99% can get to like 99.9%
because it's never going to be perfect,
but in order for people to be comfortable
with an autonomous car, it's gotta be pretty near perfect
for it and that's what the job of the beta testers
are right now with Tesla.
- So I don't know when exactly people can expect
that they're going to get this deployed,
like system-wide for production,
but this is a beta, which means it has,
it can do really incredible things.
It has incredible capabilities, but it also fails sometimes.
And until they get that failure rate
to a very low percentage,
Tesla's not going to push it out
because they don't want anybody in their cars
or anybody walking on the streets to be unsafe.
So I don't know about the timing,
but I can definitely tell you from seeing this feature,
that the future is here,
it's just around the corner
and Tesla's absolutely going to deliver on their promise
of full self-driving.
- This car's got cruise control.
School, please.
- We did it.
We drove down the Las Vegas Boulevard on a busy night.
It was surprisingly busy and it worked.
We didn't hit anybody.
Tesla, good job. I love my car.
It's so fun that it drives itself on the freeway
and someday I get to do that cool thing.
So anyway, let me know your questions down below,
because if we want to do another video,
if he's going to do it on Twitter,
I'd love to know what things you're looking forward to
or what things you want to see him do to test it out.
I'm putting out video clips on Twitter
at Eli Burton underscore,
and also on the YouTube channel, My Tesla Adventure.
- Remember how I said that he wrote Star Man,
the comic book?
Well there's four episodes and even a coloring book.
So I'm going to take these
and put them as part of the ongoing giveaway
with our backpacks.
I'm just going to randomly put these in the backpacks
of some people that buy backpacks in November,
we have the 15% off of our merch,
and also we'll put a link in the description
if you want to go buy one of these.
So that's pretty cool.
We've got four magazines to give away.
- Oh, you don't just have four to give away.
I got a whole box for you to give away.
- Check out all these.
All of these for you guys.
If you order a backpack,
I'm just going to throw them in for some of you,
not all of you, or if you watch our Amazon live,
if you don't want to buy a backpack,
you can watch our Amazon live
and I will just randomly pick out some people for free
that will get one of these.
So you can buy a backpack or go for free and get one.
So anyway, they're actually really, really cool.
Okay, yeah, whole box.
Why is a seat warmer on?
My bum is nice and warm now.
Wow, thank you, full self-driving.
(speaking in reverse)
