This is from from November 2021, but I'm still highlighting it because it is just terrifying (Correct time, though the video later on also exhibits inabilities of the system): http…

I think it's not just that. When Tesla started to with their FSD journey, they had to determine what sensors they can add to the car. Lidars back then were way more expensive than …

Another country that comes to mind is India - but I've never been enough of a Bollywood fan to be able to make any assessment on this topic. But it's a very effective tool to shape…

As much as it would be a solution to Tesla's problem, it would impact Tesla's overall plan and strategy. Automatically disengaging when emergency vehicles are detected is a huge ba…

> I'm not seeing this with the current situation It's what Waymo's is currently doing. So far, you only can get automated Taxis (in some regions) - you cannot buy an automated vehi…

I think this also translates to self-driving cars. I actually think automated cars have an edge there, because of 2 reasons: 1. Improved visibility: A human driver sits in the driv…

I think you're confusing a Tesla with a self-driving car.

Ok, I think we're having 2 separate conversations: a) What's the impact of self-driving cars at what point of distribution and b) What's the distribution of self-driving cars going…

Auotmated drivers don't make the human driver safer - they (should) make traffic safer by reducing the number of human drivers that would cause accidents. I don't think we're there…

I think Lvl3 is one of the most dangerous levels a car can be at, based on the experience Waymo (back then Chauffeur) made: Humans are even worse at monitoring than they are at dri…

To be fair: Self-driving cars that can drive safer than some drivers already exist. Simply due to the nature how unsafe some humans drive. (Some of these drivers are elderly, some …

I have my doubts about V2V and I2V communications. They'd simplify the task for automated systems, but come with a rat tail of problems. I2V is incredibly hard to scale, and is a d…

That particular attack had been fixed, but I remember people disabling those warnings with oranges: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYZrehVQouc It's an arms race between Tesla bein…

> you always have plenty of warning before you need to take over This only has to be false once. I'd also like to highlight that sometimes AP has frightening regressions. One case …

Right, because who would digitalize the entire world and take pictures of every house and store front - that'd be insane!

This is a curious point: How much data does Tesla actually collect? I can imagine users not being too happy if their car clogs the upload for hours every time you park it in your g…

To be fair, Waymo (back then Chauffeur) have solid experience with Tesla's approach. They started with the same strategy of gradual improvements. They found out (and shard) the sam…

Whilst Lidar and cameras may have similar wavelengths, they have very different information outputs. Cameras give you a 2D colored image from which you essentially guesstimate the …

Your 'experience' explains a lot about your opinion. Have a good day, stay safe.

So you say you suspect they have an ongoing investigation, and that would be "circumstances where every half competent organization would decline comment" What substantiates this c…

> And even if the ethical obligations were identical, Gebru’s violation toward Google wouldn’t excuse Google’s toward Mitchell. What about Mitchell's violation towards Google?

Just to get this straight: The researcher who tweeted out the name of an employee who's email has been blocked, and throwing out theories about crackdowns and firings - that's all …

> The normal response (for a variety of good reasons, including legal and ethical ones) from a company on a matter like this when asked by the press when they haven’t completed an …

The researcher who's departure sparked a lot of controversy tweeted the name of the employee in question, with some opinion attached. Axios reached out to Google who then made the …

Not every leak is a whistleblow. It depends on the content of the files. That verdict still needs to be made (depending on the content of the leaked files).
