Wow, thank goodness nobody gutted the authority in charge of making sure that wouldn't happen...

Musk = POS Nazi.
I do (sarcastically) love knowing Leave the World Behind is a documentary.
Thanks Obama.
Even for the first piss poor epigone of Neuromancer, the name "Robotaxi" would've been laughed at.
Mulon Esk made the dumbest name happen for the xth time.
Use lidar you ketamine saturated motherfucker
Can't do that. Then he would have to upgrade all legacy cars. And he is missing the lidar dataset.
The best time to add lidar would have been years ago, the second best time is right now. I don't think he would have to update the old cars, it could just be part of the hardware V5 package. He's obviously comfortable with having customers beta testing production vehicles so he can start creating a lidar set now or he can continue failing to make reliable self-driving cars.
I agree with you. Musk's ego doesn't.
And newsom doesn’t give a shit
What does this have to do with Newsom? Tesla isn't allowed to operate this way in California, the accidents are from the Texas data.
A parallel effect, without setting a better example and forcing unsafe competition just make crazy be more crazy.
They'll work perfectly as soon as AI space data center robots go to Mars. I'd say a Robovan will be able to tow a roadster from New York to Hong Kong by... probably July. July or November at the latest.
I really fucking hate how his fans can just listen to him lie like this over and over and it doesn't affect their opinion of him. I remember falling for it a couple times before I started asking "Is this like the last time you promised dates?"
By that time it was a moot point, however, because that "pedo guy" comment was just around the corner. Now anyone who likes him after that needs to go to therapy to figure out a few things.
I won't comment on people who support him after the other things.
This is a really funny thing to see a few scrolls down from an article about Tesla's first drivingwheelless vehicle and finally "solving autonomous driving"
Optical recognition is inferior and this is not surprising.
Yeah that's well known by now. However, safety through additional radar sensors costs money and they can't have that.
Nah, that one's on Elon just being a stubborn bitch and thinking he knows better than everybody else (as usual).
Well I mean if you believe that it is possible in a safe way it's the one thing that Tesla's got going for it compared to Waymo which is way ahead of them. Personally I don't but I can see the sunk cost.
He's right in that if current AI models were genuinely intelligent in the way humans are then cameras would be enough to achieve at least human level driving skills. The problem of course is that AI models are not nearly at that level yet
I am a Human and there were occasions where I couldn't tell if it's an obstacle on the road or a weird shadow...
Yes. In theory cameras should be enough to get you up to human level driving competence but even that is a low bar.
Even if they were, would it not be better to give the car better senses?
Humans don't have LIDAR because we can't just hook something into a human's brain and have it work. If you can do that with a self-driving car, why cut it down to human senses?
Exactly, with this logic why have motors or wheels?
You don't have wheels so you shouldn't use cars

Cameras are inferior to human vision in many ways. Especially the ones used on Teslas.
Lower dynamic range for one.
Genuinely asking how so?
Are tesla cameras even binocular?
just one more AI model, please, that’ll do it, just one more, just you wait, have you seen how fast things are improving? Just one more. Common, just one more…
I NEED ONE MORE FACKIN’ AI MODEL!!

a crash with a bus while the Tesla vehicle was stopped
Uuh...wouldn't that be the fault of the bus? I mean, the system is faulty as fuck so there's really no need to mix in shit like this, it reduces legitimacy of the otherwise very valid criticism.
Entirely possible, but all incidents are counted as it would probably be difficult to produce reliable stats where you're leaving out some based on some kind of an assessment of blame.
Because Tesla hides most of the details unlike the competition we can't really look at a specific one and know.
That depends entirely where the Tesla stopped, and under what conditions.
