- 256lie 6y agoWhy do you imagine that? When will they fix them all?
- omgwtfbyobbq 6y agoI think they would be violating the terms of the sale if they don't fix the issues present and roll out all the features described in FSD. Granted, that's no guarantee they will either. So far they have made significant fixes and rolled out new features. As long as they keep that up they'll eventually deliver something reliable with all the features listed. As to when, it'll probably be next season. No clue on which year though... :P
- threeseed 6y agoYou can’t ship new hardware over the air. Tesla is never going to have a solid self driving system without LiDAR. Radar’s range is limited and cameras are simply not suitable for reliable depth perception and bounding box detection.
- belltaco 6y agoHumans don't have LIDAR, they have only 2 eyes and not even radar. Yet they're able to drive pretty well, it's because they have great software to power that limited hardware.
- throwaway4220 6y agoYes, but Tesla has a bunch of cameras not two human eyes. Edit: I wonder if a human can learn to drive a Tesla remotely better than another human with radar and multiple camera input by representing them in some useful way.
- nradov 6y agoRemote operation is not yet a viable option for safely operating vehicles on most public roads. Our cellular data networks are simply too unreliable. What happens when a construction crew accidentally cuts the backhaul fiber for the closest base station? Or when the car is driving through a tunnel?
- threeseed 6y agoHumans can rapidly move their "cameras" 360 degrees, across multiple planes, with a wide field of view and at over 500 MP. No car can come close to doing that.
- vardump 6y agoHumans don't have even remotely close to "500 MP".
- 256lie 6y agoHumans can do a lot of other things such as hear car horns, reason about driver behavior, interpret road signs, and understand casuality of driving off a cliff.
- belltaco 6y agoExactly my point, this is a software limitation and not hardware.
