Teslas definitely have accelerometers/gyros, and have access to the torque and RPM on every wheel. It has a much better picture of the 3D motion of the car relative to the road than any human driver.
- ModernMech 1y agoDynamics don't help when you are blinded by the sun or can't discern the broadside of a firetruck.
- rogerrogerr 1y agoCameras can clearly discern the broadside of a firetruck. Whether some earlier build didn't detect one doesn't change that firetrucks reflect plenty of photons to be detectable. I'm consistently surprised by how immune to sun-blindness my car is. It regularly reads traffic lights that have the sun right next to them; I've never seen any discernible degradation due to too much light, too little light, or bad contrast of any kind. You're just bringing up a never-ending stream of but-what-abouts, so I'm done refuting them after this. It's not a good use of my time.
- ModernMech 1y agoYour personal experience with your car doesn't change that Tesla is waving the white flag due to the fact the sensor system Musk insisted on has caused deaths and is too unreliable to deliver full autonomy. The sun has confounded Tesla autonomy since its inception, and its shortcomings caused multiple decapitations: https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-tesla-florida-accident-20190302-story.html https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-tesla-florida-acciden... > You're just bringing up a never-ending stream of but-what-abouts By "what abouts" you of course mean "shortcomings of camera-only systems that make them unsuitable for full autonomy." > It's not a good use of my time. No it's not, it's a losing battle, and Musk has admitted it. Camera-only systems will not enable full self driving. Y'all got scammed.
