Tesla FSD vs REAL LA Streets 😳 | Insane Edge Case Torture Test (Mount Washington + 110 Freeway)
We put Tesla’s latest Full Self-Driving (FSD v14) to the ultimate real-world test—no easy suburban routes, no perfect conditions.Instead, we dropped it straight into old Los Angeles chaos:
⚠️ Blind corners
⚠️ One-lane mountain roads
⚠️ Garbage trucks, pedestrians, and zero lane markings
⚠️ The infamous 110 freeway on-ramp (with basically NO acceleration lane)
This is a true edge-case torture test—and the results are wild.
From shockingly human-like driving decisions to bizarre glitches (ghost pedestrians?!), this episode shows exactly where Tesla FSD shines—and where it still struggles.
Is vision-only autonomy enough? Or do we still need lidar and radar?
