It parked itself. It got lost on the way back.
It took me to the post office, parked itself, and pulled out of the spot on its own. But with home as the destination it went down dead-end streets, turned around in a house's yard, and went back into the same street. The improvements are real, and there are still situations it doesn't handle well.

✓
It handles speed humps and bumps better
Not 100% yet, but it's noticeable compared with v14.3.10: it detects them and slows down earlier. On the way back it took the bump on its own at about 13 mph. On the way out I had to step in, so the score doesn't reward it, but the improvement is there.

✓
The T intersection (leaving home), with a little throttle
It waited a long time, I gave it a little throttle, and it went, made the turn correctly, and kept going. With older versions it got stuck in the middle of the intersection. This one is assisted.

✓
It parked itself at the post office
It pulled in and parked quickly, without hesitating. With older versions parking was the biggest problem.

✓
It pulled out of the spot on its own
I turned it on in the parking lot and it backed out by itself, with cars parked on one side, no problem.

Dead-end streets and a house's yard
Leaving the post office with home as the destination, it went down dead-end streets, turned around in a house's yard, went back into the same street and, when I cleared the destination, parked and FSD turned itself off. I drove it out of that side road myself for about half a minute (a separate note, not counted as an intervention). I don't know if it was the maps, the navigation, or FSD itself.

Potholes
Leaving home and arriving, I took the wheel: it was going too fast for that street. Two of the three interventions.

The speed bump on the way out
It detects it better, but it didn't slow down enough to let it go over on its own. The third intervention.
