In this first sneak preview of Tesla's Full Self-Driving tested in snowy conditions, we see that while the typical driver would take it slowly in these conditions, the self-driving software quickly accelerates and pulls the steering wheel quickly to the left and right. This results in the car sliding in the snow before the software disengages.

It's been more than a month Tesla has allowed number of responsible owners to test its beta version of the full self-driving software (FSD). If all goes well, Tesla may release it in Canada by the end of the year. However, apparently there are some fixes that Tesla engineers and software developers need to do before releasing the FSD beta in Canada.

As reported by Drive Tesla Canada a popular beta tester AIDRIVR took his Model S running FSD beta 8 (2020.48.12.15) to Lake Tahoe recently after a heavy snowfall. Since he does live in California, his car was equipped with all-season tires, so the results could have been different had it been properly equipped with winter tires.

"The first test is to see if the self-driving software can find its way out of a snow covered parking lot where no lines are visible. While the typical driver would take it slowly in these conditions, the self-driving software quickly accelerates and pulls the steering wheel quickly to the left and right. This results in the car sliding in the snow before the software disengages," writes Drive Tesla Canada.

As you can watch in this sneak preview from AIDRIVR's test, he makes several more attempts and it is again clear the Tesla FSD is not aware of the snow and is still driving as if it is a warm California day.

What do you think? If you are a Tesla FSD Beta tester, have you ever tried your FSD in snowy roads?
