Btw linked accident was for a Model S with Tesla autopilot 1. Can tell because no camera on silver blinker assembly. They're now on 2.5.

Yep, it degrades badly, like digital cellular calls which drop out suddenly.

Waymo’s approach is also brittle, e.g. to changes in the road since the last map pass. Tesla also uses radar and ultrasonic. Lidar isn’t necessary, just makes depth measurement easier. It’s lower res than cameras, low range, power-inefficie

Both Tesla and Waymo are at too low an abstraction level for resilience. Cars need to understand roads/walls as concepts and make common sense inferences.

Agree. Note, this is a different gore point (92/880) than the one from the 85/101 crash.

The Bolt isn’t a sporty entry luxury sedan, Model 3 is pitched against BMW 3-Series.

Model 3 was designed to go head-to-head with 3 Series.

If you drill down on the motion log in the iOS Health app, it's very granular, like a web server log.

They're driving down mass-market LiIon specific energy cost ($ per Wh/kg) via Gigafactory. No?
264.
by bobsil1 9y ago
Tesla drives down cost via scale, it is driving energy density for downstream segments: EVs, drones, e-planes, et al.
265.
by bobsil1 9y ago
Tesla is driving (heh) battery energy density up.

So focus on something fundamental, that everyone needs, using an approach that's far ahead.
