Lol. Lived comfortable on 52k a year near Detroit. Was definitely near a bunch of desirable stuff. 68k you'd be low key ballin' Yes you do need a car.

As I saw in a tweet earlier, "there are no experts in self driving, just people who have failed for different lengths of time". Also he's saying they're going to have to dump it because it's the wrong approach.

Yeah this is cool but more like "Whale accidentally surfaces with mouth open where sea lion happens to be" Humpback whale throats are about the size of a grapefruit and they eat mostly krill.

You are giving big OEM's way too much credit, imo, haha. What you suggested would take at least a year for them to setup at all, let alone work the bugs and making it useful.

Yes I would agree Waymo owns the narrative and a lot of it is based on their disengagement stats. I wouldn't say those tell the whole story. They are also completely different approaches, i.e. Waymo using LIDAR and Tesla relying on cam

The contentious part is that Waymo doesn't have a product yet. It's easy to imagine something is better when you can't actually use it. In truth there are only 3 self driving products that I know of available today. Tesla

Which company is in the lead is a very contentious topic it seems. This one specific feature doesn't seem to push it one way or the other. But IMO Tesla has the best approach and has a huge lead on the data collection pipeline. No othe

This is a known feature unveiled, I believe, on Tesla's autonomy day. It just means they're able to test Autopilot on cars even if they aren't running autopilot.

I believe they are claiming that things are "AI" or "Impossible for AI" until AI actually does them, in which case, the goalposts get moved. See: DeepBlue, AlphaGo, GPT-2.

This is a nice troll but yeah the Performance Model 3 is literally a supercar for 55k~. I have the slow one and it's Very Performant, so much so that I rarely get a chance to use the speed.

Would you rather tech companies not be trying to help law enforcement or our military, and just leave them to their own devices? I have my answer, but I don't think it's nearly this black and white. Palantir probably does a lot of

So you're wondering why people use something that just works over something that took you (assumedly someone technical) 3 months to get all the kinks out? How long do you think it would take a non technical team or company to get it up

The fact that the only mentioned benefit of being married that you decided to name was "real food" is a giant red flag to me, lol. Sounds like you're not interested in your second wife just a vessel who can provide you things
