To be fair, a lot of people right now would willingly pay $5k for the features that are available now, especially if they spend a lot of time on long highway trips.

Notably, SAE level 5 is actually well below the standard that you've laid out here. The vehicle simply has to be able to make itself safe in situations that it can't handle. This allows room for remote assistance or a human takeov

Even without FSD, the basic AutoPilot uses the same sensors and vision stack for TACC, collision warnings, and collision avoidance.

Yeah, the FSD promises are old and annoying. For some of us, we remember the ridiculous claims starting back in at least 2016. I agree with you that noone should buy this car because of "FSD".

Checklists like that make things sound much worse than they are. Common issues are really minor compared to the things listed there. And, tbh, hang around some forums for the company that has been "doing right since the Model T" a

That was basically what I was thinking as well. There's a reason that Mobileye's camera only solutions tend to have a lot more cameras than Tesla does. Stereoscopic vision would be a big help, and tesla only has it in some directi

Hmm, not sure if I agree with that. I think the best panels back in 2000 were ~11% efficient. Today we are closer to ~24%? I mean, it isn't a fast improvement, but production for a given area has more than doubled in 20 years. And 11%

I think you can still do something similar with headunit reloaded. It might be a little more complex to setup, though.

Isn't the answer obvious? Because doing otherwise involves a lot more work, and people choose the easier path.

He posted the video. The car was driving straight towards the gravel, so if he had done nothing it would have hit it directly. His response was in the right direction, but was a little too late.

Unfortunately it hasn't shown resounding efficacy at preventing reinfection or enough breakthrough infections to keep feeding variants. Even with perfect coverage, its likely we'd still have delta and future variants too. This isn

I don't think its fair to say your are speaking in bad faith either. I had similar experiences with some older devices (Nexus One, Galaxy S2, etc). There was a long period of time when Android devices were really bad on battery, even w

Because they were afraid that they'd be here for the long term, and didn't want to tolerate that? Articles like this just confirm those fears.

I feel like there is a strong possibility that the sources vary. Possibly even some of them aren't so edible. How else could it have been readily available for decades without a clear source being well known?

I see that happening too, but tbh, I see it happening even without evidence. Its almost like some weird form of "thinking for yourself", but taken to the point of rejecting any evidence that doesn't match the preconceived not

You aren't kidding, I'm also seeing a trend of people claiming that any information that doesn't match their viewpoint must be faked or dishonest.

My point is that government regulation of auto steer, driver monitoring, and other adas features won’t help with the more dangerous phantom braking issues. And these aren’t talked about much at all with Tesla or any other cars that may have

Twice in the last year (>13k miles total). One of them involved a truck pulling a fifth wheel that crept into my lane, but not far enough to warrant an emergency braking response. The other was a similar situation involving a vehicle mer

The others claim that you can drive without your hands on the wheel, despite the fact that the time required for takeover can be milliseconds. I'm really not convinced that is objectively better, even with whitelisted roads.

by jsight 5y ago
IMO, Tesla is a bit worse, but I agree with this in principle. I've had other cars phantom brake in similar situations. The worst phantom brakes that I've had from AP were cases where a car really was creeping into my lane a bit.

by jsight 5y ago
Because it generally works really well, and most of the phantom braking is generally 5-10 mph drops that aren't as dramatic as the on in the forum post being referenced.

Inside the Tesla community, we all know this is by far the worst thing about autopilot and by far the most dangerous. Outside the community, we get frustrated by silly debates about lane centering and other FSD-like features that actually w
