There is absolutely no excuse for using that video to market Autopilot/FSD (it's still the main feature on tesla.com/autopilot). The driver is clearly not just there for legal reasons. Given that the video is a few years old

Google dropped this approach a long time ago precisely because of this problem: their employees were zoning out

Meanwhile their CEO posts a Wikipedia link of a critical government official on twitter so his followers will vandalize.

Hard roads and highways are ones where lots of cars need to change lanes in not much space. For example sections where entrances are quickly followed by exits always end up with more hard braking.

Yeah there's plenty trying. Tesla Semi is going for L2, TuSimple and Waymo Via among others are trying L4.

That is obviously what was intended with that tweet. Such a Trump-like thing to do

by sidibe 5y ago
I think it's spot on that they want the regulators to block them now. Without that there's two options at this point, either they tell all the drivers they're not good enough, i.e. only 100-score ones get FSD for now, or the

Oof they should have had an NDA about the NDA

by sidibe 5y ago
Uh neither of those even suggest what it does while Tesla's says it does something it doesn't do

FYI that video is still the main feature on tesla.com/autopilot

> People will nitpick a little around the edges Sorry what? That is a comparison of highway miles with Autopilot (driver felt comfortable activating autopilot in that stretch) vs all miles in any situation. That's not a nitpick, it&

by sidibe 5y ago
> Tesla self driving is that per-mile it is more safe than human control You are mixing up autopilot on highway and FSD. And even then the numbers are comparing very easy stretches of highway driving where people feel comfortable activa

What if they don't deliver over the entire lifetime of the car (very likely)?

From those videos it's obvious the product is definitely not working if we take the name of the product at face value
887.
by sidibe 5y ago
Yes. And if you look at even the rosiest FSD beta videos online you know it's nowhere near as good at driving as a human, yet people always come into these threads talking about how if it's better than humans it should be used and

Doh yup sports fandom is the same thing and just as silly, but I do it too so it doesn't seem as weird :)

Tesla fandom is such a bizarre phenomenon. It's weird that a corporation can become such a big part of their customers' identity that they rabidly go after anything negative.

Hasn't crossed my newsfeeds in a long time. He is the original professional fanboy, Tesla has a whole bunch of people clamoring to be the Gruber of Tesla.

It's been covered a million times, but Tesla's reporting is useless. It's apples to oranges comparison for marketing purposes. I wish we had more third party data.

by sidibe 5y ago
That's the goal of autonomous vehicles. Not autopilot. Surprisingly, not "full self driving" either. In both of those you have to be fully alert because the car can do something very dumb any moment. FSD and autopilot on high

I think Tesla is kind of counting on regulators to step in at this point after promising to open it up for good drivers who paid for FSD in 2 weeks. Otherwise they face the choice of a lot of bad press from FSD accidents which will definite

I think besides great endurance and ability to recover, being able to turn down the self-preservation knob is important in cycling. This is also true in speed skating moreso than the other endurance sports. Being able to relax on the downhi

This is such a bad idea. They obviously have plenty of simple situations to work on already

100% on the driver. "Full self driving" is for marketing only and they supposedly make it very clear to the customers.

The driver is a big fan of Tesla (even in that video he was very impressed with FSD 10). I think he probably deleted it himself because of the backlash

by sidibe 5y ago
Everything about FSD is truly mindblowing. They sold the product but are not letting most users get the version that tries to be autonomous (and thank god for that). It won't be available to most of these people on the car they purchas
