Are there cyclists in Las Vegas?
I always want Tesla to test their systems in a European urban center, see how they deal with tourists and trams set in picturesque 19th century streets.
- csa 3y ago> Are there cyclists in Las Vegas? Holy shit, yes. And a bunch of other crazy pedestrian shit. I mean, it’s not a biking Mecca or anything, but cars and trucks aren’t your only concern in Vegas. SF sort of takes the cake of those three, with cyclists, one wheelers, scooters, pedestrians, and folks who are flying on something that they only experience. I’ve done AP there on certain streets (esp. with stop and go traffic) with no problem. The peripheral areas of greater LA also have lots of non-auto traffic to deal with.
- Veserv 3y agoTesla does not even use it in the underground one-lane tunnel, the Las Vegas loop [1], instead opting for paid drivers operating the cars fully manually.

- csa 3y ago> automatic driving… in whiteout conditions Neither FSD nor AP will be allowed to turn on or stay on in these conditions.
- klyrs 3y agoOh, I'm well aware that those features are so entirely useless that even Tesla won't let you use them in some situations. Rather than focus on the hard part, Tesla is tackling the easy stuff because it makes the illusion of progress. For those of us who snow and rain and low visibility are common driving, this is all a rich joke.
