it's very advanced adas. it is useful but you said "FSD" which stands for FULL Self Driving. You didn't say FSDS, or FSD Beta, or "Tesla's Level 2" self driving. It is NOT a FULL s…

The argument made more sense 5+ years ago, but the hardware costs of sensors such as LIDAR has plummeted. In addition, a certain CEO of a certain car company has made very aggressi…

"depth estimation" precision matters! and it's still prone to optical illusions and other issues (many solutions struggle with road shadows, for example. sound familiar?) I think t…

Because Waymo is largely unsupervised, they take a much more conservative route than Tesla does. Their route planner includes avoiding high-incident rate stretches of road. If ther…

> Will it get cheap enough? An Ojai costs less than a mid tier luxury vehicle. Is that not cheap enough? And the price is only coming down.

Current estimates put the Ojai sensor cost between $15k and $30k. My inclination is that there is confusion between BOM and constructed cost.

> But are $200K worth of extra sensors actually worth it Of course not! So, you may be surprised to find that Waymo's sensor package doesn't cost $200k. Whoops!

You can't purchase a level 3 Tesla at any price, either. To me, true self-driving starts at level 3. Otherwise, it's supervised. And Tesla selling their product as "Full Self Drivi…

that's the thing about these "open" devices, there's always one "would absolutely be considering" use case that they never meet. makes it real easy to not buy one ;)

I have nothing to say back other than: That's a very snarky and unnecessarily hostile tone to take with someone who is agreeing with you.
