There’s eye tracking in the cabin now. It’s simply not possible to use it without supervising it.

I don’t disagree with you. FSD isn’t yet what the name claims, though they’ve made shocking progress in just the last 3 months. If your experience with FSD was longer ago, know that it’s almost a completely different system. I have full con

by kbos87 3y ago
Not to mention that if you are using FSD, your attention is being monitored. I can’t pick up my phone or look away from the road for more than a few seconds without the car warning me. Meanwhile the rest of the driving public almost always

So many armchair opinions here about Tesla FSD. It drove me 175 miles today from a dense and complicated city to a distant destination without me intervening once. Reading the comments here you’d think it’s completely smoke and mirrors.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted, at least visually spotting doesn’t seem like a bad application for a drone.

Something I find interesting is that more and more single-service, tech enabled medication providers are popping up. Example - if I want ADHD medication, there's a service for that, and there's another service for hair loss medica

Autonomous driving companies are using LiDAR but almost every consumer passenger vehicle is relying on a vision based system, and they all have this problem. Look behind the windshield of every car you walk past :D

by kbos87 3y ago
Agree that vision based wipers are meh. I think it has something to do with the position of the front facing cameras behind the windshield; water seems to just hit that spot differently vs where you look out. My experience with the vision b

I drive a Tesla day to day (with the latest FSD Beta) - yes, phantom breaking was real - but it's been almost completely remedied for the past few months in my opinion - and I'd be shocked if other automakers (as was mentioned abo

So interesting! I do have to say, the way they state some of the specifics as though they are settled facts is a little off putting, like - "the size and the position of the holes cannot be accidental – they were made with the intentio

I think a lot of the speculation about his motivations and just how long of a game he is playing give him too much credit. The past 12 months have been a complete backslide in his credibility. I chalk it up to the fact that he has literally

Yes and yes. It's uncommon where I live to talk to people on the train - and being a bulky 6'4 male, whether I like it or not, I have a lifetime of experience that it's startling for women when I appear behind them without th

I was on public transportation this morning, about to reach my stop, and I needed to ask a woman who was blocking my way to the doors to please excuse me. The train was quiet, I was right behind her, and I had the feeling that I'd star

There's another set of large players who have sucked all of the air out of what could have otherwise been thriving, competitive categories with many players. Google with search, Amazon with eCommerce, Facebook with social. Yes there ar

I’m skeptical that the same patterns we saw in the early 2000s are going to play out again. Last time, tech was in its infancy. There was a small universe of people who understood baseline concepts like getting to product market fit, how to

I've had a tesla for over a year, I exclusively charge at superchargers, and I've waited for a stall at a charger a total of one time.

I've been in my Tesla on a 2hr road trip with a planned stop at a supercharger along the way. A message popped up on the screen of my Tesla that there was a power outage at the supercharger I had planned to use - I was seamlessly rerou

I have a Tesla, no home charging, and I can't underscore how much of a non-issue it is. I charge once or twice a week at a shopping plaza I'd be visiting anyway. When I roadtrip (I regularly do 150-250 mile road trips around New E

This has non nefarious uses too. In a b2b context it’s often prohibitively time consuming to generate really good but non-real demo data.

There's an entire genre of anti-car content popular on social media right now that completely overlooks the reality of how most US cities are dispersed. I agree that the utopian ideal of a car-free existence is appealing, but it's

The market always wins, and the market for EVs is about to be massive. A beautiful thing about capitalism is that when a large market exists, smart people and resources flow toward solving every discrete problem standing in the way of tappi

This is the truth, and apparently it’s painful for some people to hear and accept. Electricians are just as skilled and may end up being more in demand than the average tech employee because of this fact. If that’s the way it plays out, goo

I’ll pile on with a Progressive story - my car was hit while parked in a parking garage. The other party admitted fault but my insurer (Progressive) ended up paying for the repair after they hashed it out with the repair shop and the offend

The amount of hyperbole and completely uninformed takes around FSD is eye opening. I’ll completely agree that “Full self driving” is a misleading name, and they should be forced to change it, full stop. That being said, it’s exceptionally c

by kbos87 4y ago
Do you have any read of why it may have done that? I’ve driven using FSD for thousands of miles and I’ve never observed anything similar. Not trying to imply that you didn’t experience something like this, but when I see odd behavior from i

The point I think the author is trying to make is that you should take it as a strong signal when a customer expresses preference or displeasure on matters of taste. At the other end of the spectrum, I’d need a strong signal from customers

I don’t disagree, but are you suggesting that we shouldn’t act to solve a problem just because it isn’t the worst possible problem? Feels like a convenient out.

by kbos87 4y ago
100% true but doesn’t invalidate their situation. If we follow that logic to its end, there’s always someone in worse shape who is also further removed from those who have the ability to make a difference.

I am really of two minds about this. On one hand, yes, the suggestion that I leave a tip and the amount suggested has ballooned to a ridiculous level in some businesses. On the other hand, I recognize that there are plenty of businesses tha
