There isn't an objection. There is a question. Can the public see videos of this? If not, why not?

Why would you think that? If they have much better technology, that they are deploying on public roads, why wouldn't they let the public know with easily accessible proof?

George brought it up in the thread and you responded to him. Tesla and Comma.AI are building the exact same technology. Are you saying that we shouldn't discuss these other companies until they have a permit for SF driving?

Tesla is currently in beta everywhere, not just SF. Tesla is taking the path of improving the technology with driver monitoring, rather than focusing on getting a single city to label them as 'L4'

I'm nobody and I have huge respect for both of you. I do think some transparency would be nice in regards to how they made the decision and with how much data. The shortcomings of Comma.AI and Tesla FSD are very clear due to YouTube. I

Both are demanding places to work. The big difference is "Fear vs. Safety" At SpaceX if you identify a problem you are not afraid to let someone know, because everyone is working together to make the mission a success. At BO if yo

As someone who has beat the market over a 17 year period, I attribute it to having made very few trades AND being lucky. There are a lot of ways that a company can go under. All it takes is one mistake or one black swan event and what would

There is room for improvement in testing technology and processes. But not to the extent of "One drop of blood from your finger can provide accurate tests on 26 different types of tests" Especially when some of those tests are onl

It is a matter of consumer protection. We allow a farmer to set up a farm stand and sell tomatoes by the side of the road without much regulation, because consumers in general can determine if the product is good. We don't allow that f

I agree that the media unfairly singles out Tesla. I guess there is a lot of people looking for articles that reinforce their view that Teslas are unsafe.

The Tesla FSD Beta program requires drivers to understand this is a level 2 system. The human driver has to be in the driver's seat paying attention 100% of the time. If they move to the back seat they will be banned from the system.

Just look at what they sell as "blockchain" or "crypto". They literally will sell you an editable blockchain or a centralized blockchain. They don't care about technology. https://www.accenture.com/

That scenario implies that someone has made a mistake. They forgot to turn off a service or turned on a service by accident. How does AWS know that the billing cutoff wasn't the accident? Maybe I accidently set a $20 cutoff during bui
