If you are the CEO of a company that sells a robot, shouldn’t you be deeply concerned about any time one of your robots is accused of killing people? Likewise, public perception of Autopilot is very important to Tesla’s marketing and market

Tesla’s autopilot is very comparable to autopilot in aircraft (read a bit before downvoting). It is something you engage to take the load off the vehicle operator but does not eliminate the need for the operator. Autopilot (both in aircraft

This as likely as pretty much any explanation I’ve heard. I think Tesla tries to be too clever by far with their doors. I sure hope the rumor they are eliminating outside handles on the Cybertruck is nonsense.

Seems unlikely, it's written in Python. Might be possible to bodge something together, but interop would be crap.

You sleep for 8 hours. Another 2 hours is spent showering, prepping for sleep and waking up and using the bathroom during the day. So you have 14 hours left. If you work, you only have 6 hours left. Commute to work? 4-5 hours. Dishes, mowin

I’m ok with Twitter blocking people who are ciculating lies that are prolonging the virus which has fucked our economy and killed millions of people. Conspiracy theories about viruses are literally killing people. I’d file that right in the

Twitter rarely “censors” anything. There are countless examples of people getting multiple death threats and Twitter just blowing it off. Female journalists are frequently targeted with rape and death threats for posting things which are on

The linked article didn't say what model it was other than the fact that it was a 2019. Even so, that console only looks marginally easier to get your foot over. Definitely not a maneuver you could pull off in the heat of the moment.

In my Model Y, there is no way the passenger could reach across to put his foot on the brake or gas unless they were straddling the console.

So much for "It'll take years before we get the GPU working". Obviously this is far from a full implementation but seems like progress has been quick. Hopefully the power management stuff will be equally quick.

This is consistent with my experience: > - On highways: Autosteer and Traffic Aware Cruise Control have speed limits of 90 mph. > - Off highways: Autosteer is no longer restricted to 35 mph. Autosteer has a speed limit of 5 mph faste

When auto steer is engaged, it limits the speed to 5MPH over the speed limit unless you are holding the gas pedal down . If you hold the gas pedal down, the automatic braking and speed controls are not active. At that point, the car isn&#x

Teslas do have black boxes. Whether they would survive a fire like this is questionable though. Tesla's "black box" data is obtainable like any other kind of crime scene evidence, via court order.

I believe autopilot's safety features were disabled so these statistics are meaningless. I'm not talking about simply forcing it into autopilot, but disabling autopilot's ability to control the vehicle's acceleration. Th

You have to actively ignore multiple safety warnings and deliberately bypass failsafes. The big thing I have to wonder about is how on earth did they get the car going so fast on residential streets? Autopilot is hard-coded to limit you to

All of this. To be honest, I think my estimate may have been generous, I just don’t know France. In the US, I wouldn’t even consider flying unless it was closer to 5 hours. Anything shorter than that I’d just drive. But not knowing France a

It was originally supposed to be domestic flights under 4 hours which would be a much bigger area. This feels a bit like a token victory. Consider for a moment, the chances you’d fly if a train trip was less than an hour are pretty near zer

While I agree with most of this... Who has trouble with ":x"? It's no more keystrokes than any other editor uses. I guess if you are in insert mode it's `esc :x`. I suppose you could bind a single keystroke in normal mod

One of the big advantages of VIM is that it's ubiquitous. This has some potentially more intuitive features, but I when I'm setting up a new system, it's not there. It's VIM-like... but just different enough where it see

At some point, April Fools jokes ceased being funny. Now I’m trying to figure out if I just got too old to appreciate them, or if the good ones have all been used up.

Apple didn’t establish the 30% cut. They kited the idea from console makers and other walled garden industries that came before them. This doesn’t make it more defensible, but they didn’t create it.

Mostly Microsoft, Google, and Facebook. Amazon is far more likely to partner with a company than clone it’s products. Apple acquires mostly smaller companies, often things you’ve never heard of. Also worth noting, many of these smaller comp
