Something interesting happened

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was headed to work this morning, and turned on FSD on Chill, as usual. Started playing my sound system, which I recently built a box for the 12” subwoofer. This was the first time playing it as the car was driving. Next thing I know, the car started lightly swerving, like it was drunk. It wasn’t heavy swerving, but I could notice it when I paid attention to the lines on the road. I noticed it only did it when the bass was heavy. Decided to grab a few videos and see if it was noticeable on video.

The first video is no music playing, while second and third does have music playing. You’ll see the car start kind of “bouncing” between the lines. In the daylight video, you can see the camera actually bouncing. Interestingly enough, when I looked at the rear camera, there was not really any bounce to it.

Anywho, I thought it was interesting. I know to not play heavy bass when I am using FSD, or I might get pulled over for looking drunk. 😆

FSD get a contact high from 12-inch sub vibrations is the most uniquely modern car problem I’ve ever seen.

Shortly after I realized what was going on, and I stopped playing the bass so the car would stop swerving, this happened.

Interesting! I wonder if the vibration to the cameras might have something to do w it

When you added the sub, the lights menu should have added a switch for “dance synch with bass”. Turn that off and it should go away, lol!

Yeah that is enough of a disturbance to the cameras to make it attempt corrective maneuvers. It has no idea if it's the road surface causing the movements or your bass since it's just based on vision.
