The cars drive themselves incredibly well in US, Canada, China, and Australia The iEU is blocking deployment to protect their own automotive industry. Reading speed signs is not necessary for the system to function. In Canada my car drives the speed of traffic just fine. If you live in Europe regulatory sludge has robbed you of FSD not Tesla.

The reason is because mobileye patented (US20080137908A1) it and won't let tesla use it.

It is purely a regulatory problem. FSD is not available in Europe due to the slow pace of regulatory approval.

For instance UNECE regulation 79 prevents FSD from using its full capacity to turn the steering wheel.

It's a rat's nest of red tape.

FSD is rigorously tested before release.

The revisions and updates are safety tested on roads for months before they are released. Tesla also has models that are too big to run on existing production hardware that perform better than the release versions in test cars.

Updates are not git pulls and no engineer would ever think that they were.

Are you referring to autopilot or FSD? Phantom braking is a solved problem since the release of V12 FSD. As soon as a vision based car is safer than a human, it's flaws don't matter because it will save lives.

Supervised FSD is already safer than a human.

Useful for cutting in a line (although fs pulse length is overkill for most applications), not so efficient for surface modifications over large areas.

For enhanced absorbance, alternative technologies that come to mind could be electrodeposition with additives that preferentially bind specific crystal faces, nanoimprint lithography+etching. I was personally involved in developing an electroless deposition technology that created "black gold" that had broadband absorbance across NIR and visible wavelengths. That sucker was black, and easy to make!

Only skimmed the paper but this looks more like an advance in absorbing solar energy through laser patterning a metal than in more efficient thermoelectric effects.

Laser patterning is a lot easier than improving thermoelectric device efficiency.

Femto second laser processing is probably not a scaleable process.

Outdated information. This is from several updates ago. The cars are constantly improving through over the air upgrades.

Not possible. FSD won't activate without someone in the front seat. Also the eye tracking camera will disengage the system if you don't look at the road.

Same thing I do in a cab. Judging the "driver's" performance. FSD is better than most Uber drivers.

Let's make a deal. You invest $100 in my company. I won't take a salary unless I at least double your money. Everytime I double your money you owe me 1% of your gains. Is this a fair deal?

That's the deal we voted for and Tesla grew 2000%. Very pleased with the outcome and would vote for any pay package at any company that was similarly structured.

I use it everyday. It is completely normal for it to drive 30km+ trips flawlessly.

Incredible value for money in my opinion.

Or maybe it's not. Maybe you only think that's true and see everything through that lense.

This is what people said in 2018 when the stock was 16$. In case you aren't keeping up Tesla signed a $17billion agreement with Samsung to produce their AI6 chip family which is designed to replace the dojo architecture. It is a harmonized design that can be scaled to training clusters or deployed in edge inference.

Everytime you put your foot on the accelerator while the system is engaged a warning pops up saying the car will not brake.

It happens right away and has nothing to do with any other warnings. If you own a Tesla you have seen this warning over and over.

When you put your foot on the accelerator while on autopilot a warning pops up saying the car will not brake.

Not in 2019 it didn't.

The city isn't paying for the tunnel, the company is.

Probably because the tunnel is privately funded. Conceivably you could do both for the same money.

There is a huge environmental benefit to buying a Tesla not only in the mitigated emissions but in the transfer of emission credit money from polluters to clean energy focused Tesla. Tesla's scale and innovation has dramatically changed the costs of batteries unlocking massive solar adoption and paving the way for a renewable distributed energy future.

The idea that buying a Tesla doesn't do anything for the environment is just something people who buy gas cars tell themselves as they destroy our climate.

So many posters I this thread are obviously child free. The idea of carting kids to soccer practice on the bus, or shopping for a family of 4 and taking the bus with 100 pounds of groceries is absurd.

I guarantee half the people posting here will change their tune as soon as they have any responsibility beyond themselves.

I rode the bus for 15 years...when I only had to take care of myself.

>8 million Teslas have been manufactured

When it comes to Tesla Reddit is 95% in line with hacker news sentiment.

What's your strike price and maturity date?

This is the product. https://www.ghs.com/products/auto_adas.html

The founder went as far as to run for CA senator just to regulate Tesla and bought a Superbowl ad to smear the company. https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/12/dawn-project-tesla-ad-fsd-...

If you follow Tesla for any length of time, you'll find so many disingenuous slanted articles about the company and the cars that you'll begin to wonder what the hell is going on.

This article is about "testing" conducted by a guy who is trying to sell competing software products and has produced videos in the past that weren't replicable and were likely staged. They never release unedited footage or car diagnostic data, just a produced video presented with the intent of damaging Tesla's reputation and boosting their own sales.

This happens all the time, from the New York Times' false claims that their review car ran out of charge, to the most recent Mark Rober video that cost the CEO of a lidar company his job.

The video in this article requires independent validation it is not from a trusted source as it is produced by an extremely biased and financially motivated Tesla competitor.

Facts:

FSD will not randomly drive off the road and your post showed a human turning the steering wheel by accident.

Progress:

HW4>HW3 and HW4 cars can see painted walls HW5 exists and will be deployed soon.

Goalposts shifted by you = 2

Lol. Don't bother defending your initial blatant lie, just move on to another one. The crash report shows that, prior to the car veering off the road, 2NM of torque was applied to the steering wheel disengaging FSD and that the turning force was applied until the car crashed. The brake was never pressed.

This person is just too embarrassed to admit they fell asleep at the wheel and the weight of their hand disengaged FSD. This could easily be cleared up if he showed the driver facing camera the car records in a crash.... But something tells me he won't do that.

You don't fact check things very well. That's two blatant falsehoods you've swallowed. What else are you wrong about.

The link to your earlier post shows a HW3 car. If you keep watching the video it shows a second HW4 car stopping before the painted wall.

This is literally the definition of progress.

Tesla is currently developing HW5 which has 10x the inference capability of HW3. More progress.
