Not all driving happens on motorways — in fact, most of it doesn’t. This video is a true real-world test of Tesla FSD Supervised Down Under in the inner roads of Wollongong, with thanks to a fellow Gong mate, GAFA, who suggested this route on X (Twitter). So we put it to the test: narrow roads, cars parked on either side, some streets with medians, others without, tight lanes, blind crests… the works. This was about seeing how FSD handled the kind of daily drives between suburbs that Wollongong locals know so well. ⸻ π Highlights of the Drive • π️ Inner Roads around Gwynneville & UOW – Suburban streets with cars parked on both sides, forcing careful navigation. • π§ Mixed Road Types – Some with medians, some without, testing lane discipline and spacing. • π Realistic Everyday Traffic – Not motorway speed, but stop-and-go, with human drivers squeezing into gaps. • π️ Mount Pleasant Hills – Steep inclines with reduced visibility over crests; a real challenge for any driver, human or AI. • π Community Input – Special thanks to GAFA for suggesting this test — proving that community feedback helps shape what gets tested. • π£️ Extensive Commentary – Live insights into what the car was doing, why it behaved that way, and where it needed help. ⸻ ✅ The Wins • Confident lane selection even with narrow spacing • Yielded for traffic and adapted to suburban road etiquette • Handled hilly terrain at Mount Pleasant better than expected • Smooth overall drive without leaning too heavily on motorways ⚠️ The Misses • Occasional hesitations where the road narrowed suddenly • Moments of confusion around parked cars and blind crests • Not flawless, reminding us that inner roads still push FSD harder than highways ⸻ π― Why This Test Matters Most FSD videos show highways and major roads. But in Wollongong, like most suburbs in Australia, it’s the inner roads that really matter. Narrow lanes, hills, parked cars, and local quirks — that’s where autonomy will be tested the hardest. Thanks to GAFA’s suggestion, this drive showcases the strengths and weaknesses of FSD in a way that’s relevant to everyday Gong drivers. ⚡ Tesla FSD Supervised Down Under | Inner Roads of Wollongong | Tested on a Fellow Gong Mate’s Suggestion — the real test of suburb-to-suburb driving. ⸻ #Tesla #FSD #TeslaAustralia #Wollongong #GongMate #FSDInnerRoads #FSDSupervised #TeslaFSD #UniversityOfWollongong #MountPleasant #AutonomousDriving #TeslaDownUnder
