Waymo's operators can absolutely control the vehicles directly. I'm not sure what you're trying to cite here. The only effective difference in architecture here is where, physically, the backup operator sits. I know it&#x27

It's no different on a technical level than Waymo using remote operators. Presumably Tesla just hasn't wired that up, or doesn't plan to. FWIW, your logic works better the other way around anyway: if the system didn't w

Drive Pilot cannot perform a single one of the maneuvers I listed above. It's just a stunt. They took a machete to the feature set to find Just One Thing that would meet the requirements. All it does is use radar to follow another ca

Clearly I needed to be more precise: Tesla's vehicle autonomy features have no meaningful competition in the consumer auto space, period. Anyone who tries to claim otherwise is flogging some kind of angle, generally a political one.

Well... yeah, but the Tesla will do that on an empty road, then approach a slow car from behind and make a lane change decision to pass, then take your next exit and continue on through city streets, through all sorts of traffic conditions,

To be fair, though, the subscription isn't for "Steering Assist", it's for FSD. You don't subscribe to the feature you have on your Corolla, you subscribe to an autonomous navigation solution. This is a pretty bone

Seems like this has nothing to do with Rust or protobufs. The underlying PostgreSQL abstraction engine they'd picked had a wasteful serialization implementation (that happens to have been using protobuf). So pgdog dropped it and open

That's true, but sort of misses the spirit of Hyrum's law (which is that the world is filled with obscure edge cases). In this case the broken resolver was the one in the GNU C Library , hardly an obscure situation! The news here

Looks nice enough. But seems pretty steep. The 42" TV I bought five years ago for $260 does basically the same thing. Slightly more vertical space (albeit at a lower DPI) and somewhat less horizontal. But it still supports four 80-

To a large extent they do and always have. It's not as broad or fair as it should be[1], but for almost any economically important project all the major contributors and maintainers are on the payroll of one of the big tech interests
