I dunno about 55 times more... Earth escape velocity is 11.2 km/s or 25,000 mph in your preferred units. And you don't have to go backwards relative to earths orbit and cancel it out, you can maintain earths' solar orbit and

Why don't you find a video of FSD failing on a 40mph highway with no lane changes for an apples to apples comparison... Oh wait that is an unreasonably niche scenario to be worthy of consideration in the context of full autonomy.

In that video they mention doing localization based upon a prebuilt map of the route by matching images to the model 10 times per second. That is by definition, not FSD. That is like the system announced today, a limited route autonomy. For

It's worth noting that the "punitive" peak is only 5 hours, does not include weekends, and is only for 4 months out of the year. And since it is during peak solar hours, I've never had to pay that rate once.

The grail test is very transparent that it is not a replacement for traditional cancer screening, but is a supplement to it. Even further, cancer screening is not a replacement for cancer diagnosis.
