Tesla FSD Part 4: Houston Traffic, Navigation Edge Cases & Why FSD Reduces Driver Fatigue

This is Part 4 of a 6-part drive from South Padre Island to Houston and back.

By the end of the day, the total mileage was 767 miles, with only about half a mile driven manually. This segment focuses on highway driving into Houston, lane-drifting vehicles, navigation edge cases, city traffic complexity, and why Full Self-Driving significantly reduces fatigue on long trips.

This is real-world, supervised FSD with no staging or edits.
