As always, this is Matt from Frunk To Trunk. This one is long on purpose: about 36 minutes of real driving on FSD 14.3.8, start to finish, so you can see how the update handles ordinary trips instead of a highlight reel. Below is a guide to the drive so you can jump to the situations you care about.
First impressions
The drive starts with turns and curves, a segment on free FSD, and my first reaction to 14.3.8 — then quickly hits a real test: street lights that aren't working.

Merges, navigation, and parking
After a difficult merge, I answer questions and pay close attention to parking — a recurring theme in this video, with a parking question, a smart move, and a parking challenge on the first trip.

Trip #2: rain, visibility, and a narrow miss?
The second navigation trip includes an aggressive decision, rain visibility, a look at the newest self-driving updates, a moment where the car can't see, and a merging issue I flag as a possible narrow miss. Watch these segments yourself and judge.

Destination #2: road closed, lights out, pedestrians
The final stretch throws a road closure, more lights out, pedestrians, and parking with yielding at FSD before I wrap up with my thoughts.
