FSD 14 - nudging accelerator through a curve

[Circ]

Perfect drive out today untouched from pulling out of driveway to parking head first in a logical spot - backroads freeways and busy suburban retail areas. 30 minutes hurry mode Perfect.
Then going home I got a little helpful with the accelerator once to pull out from a turn and then while going though a downhill sweeping on-ramp - marked 25-30 mph? - I pushed it up to around 40mph and the computer just stopped adjusting for the tightening curve. It didn’t abandon steering entirely as it held the line it was on, it just didn’t adjust for the different angle when I pushed speed. I let the front left tire cross the line and leave the pavement before taking over just to see if it would correct in time. No warnings except maybe the usual fine print, it just held the current line like it was frozen - going to experiment with it tomorrow to see how it behaves in various situations when you manually push throttle.

Good to know.

It's amazing to me that we can increase acceleration and the truck will still steer properly. Can you imagine giving someone else the throttle and you are in charge of steering and you have to not crash?

The very fact that the throttle works to increase speed is proof that they can (and absolutely should!) bring back the speed control on the scroll wheel immediately. Them making this executive decision for everyone to remove control over the speed, is incredibly stupid.
