"Just finished three short trips with Tesla Self-Driving 14.3.13. Not much time with the new build, but here are my initial impressions.

1. It reversed out of my driveway much more quickly than previous versions.

2. You can definitely feel the personality evolving more with each minor point release in the 14.3 series. This one felt like another major evolutionary step, but still a little bit awkward.

3. In Mad Max mode, the car was driving so aggressively that it was sometimes uncomfortable going over dips or bumps in the road. Aggressive is great, but you want to be cautious where appropriate so the user can actually leave it in that aggressive mode

4. It parked perfectly 3/3 times for each destination

5. It did a better job at parking within the lines than the previous build.

6. There was a car that was stopped in one lane when the light turned green, even intruding on the lane to its right a bit. The car just went around it without skipping a beat, even though it was a tight space, and did it very quickly like a human.

7. Very smooth slowdowns approaching a red light or entering a turn lane.

8. It seems to have this new personality trait where it will accelerate and decelerate on a different curve... I can't quite explain it yet

Will test more in daytime traffic and let you know how it performs."
