    You can, https://www.tesla.com/fsd Are you trying to invent your own definition for self driving and quibble that supervision negates what the car is doing?

    You are behind, FSD is already here, my car drove me to work today (fully self driving) Starlink v3 satelites launch next month, the first starmind sats based nvidia chips sometime…

    There is a big difference between "something like" and actually passing the tests, I would be surprised if any non vision based system has the reaction time needed to pass the new …

    Obviously your priors are wrong, it can ace a blind spot warning test because it can detect a motorcycle next to it.

    You don't have long to wait to see an obvious reason, the first v3 starship is in preflight testing right now.

    Not mass production yet, but the first one rolled off the completed assembly line at giga texas last week Sensor fusion is not far simpler, when the sensors disagree, and they will…

    The benefit is capturing a larger percentage of the output of the sun than what hits the earth.

    The surface area of the earth is the limit (which only gets sunlight half the time) and only gets 1 billionth the energy emitted by the sun vs relatively unlimited surface area of …

    Government run grocery stores are middle of the road? What would progressive ideas look like on that spectrum?

    Nowhere to be seen if your head is in the sand. There are robotaxi pilot programs running in two cities, FSD 14 is actively rolling out to customers, and my car drove me to work th…

    If a car has a physical child lock switch engaged, it's not possible to open the door from the inside even in an emergency. Clearly rear emergency egress is not a requirement, a ch…

    Tesla does not use stereo/binocular vision, that's not how humans perceive relative motion at that distance either, we would depend on perspective and parallax

    The hyperloop idea (which was just a presentation with no plans to build it) is an entirely different thing from the boring company tunnels

    What do you call what this tesla is doing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQir90MktRc Just because it's supervised doesn't mean its not self driving
