That's really weird choice, who are picking these songs? :) I can't imagine they've licensed the music either... I guess next up is the "Highway to Hell" video
It feels like they edited the video and then picked a song that exactly matched the video's length.

I agree, legal or not, I very much rely on other drivers "signals" when driving. Over the years you learn to predict what the driver in front of you would do in a normal situation and adjust your driving in advance. I'm still able to break on emergency but when you can clearly see way ahead of the car in front there is no obstacle and yet they still brake it's extremely risky and frustrating. Young drivers here usual…
It means that you would have been surprised if the jogger was making a jump to her left (avoiding hole in her path for example), forcing any driver to hit the brake.

I do not understand why the focus on self driving is so much on the whole trip. 90 - 95% of the time I am driving long stretches, I spend on highways. No problem if only that part would be done selfdriving. Those few minutes in busy town centers I do not mind to do myself. No problem of driving short stretches (10 - 15 min) either.
It is so important to do the whole trip because switching costs for the driver from "totally inattentive" to "grasping the wheel and driving" are measured in seconds. Anything less than 4 is asking for trouble.

Instead of relying on other drivers' signals, you could instead use them as extra warning, and instead of driving so close to them you're putting yourself and them and potentially others in danger if they brake when you didn't expect, you could back off to a safe distance.
If a self driving car doesn't reproduce the most common driving style the other drivers should be extra careful around it, some kind of mark on the outside could help.

What if the GPS data is outdated?
What would you do if you'd remember there used to be a stop sign there, and now it's gone?
I think watching this in real-time would be more informative. At 1:32, it pull out on what looks like could be a busy road, then stops before starting again. It doesn't look so bad sped up in the video, but not great in reality.

Despite the different codebases, they still have the datasets that they've collected over the years, and that's really what matters (for things like lane detection.) It would be quite weird if they didn't retrain their new models with all that data.
What does this mean? So they send all 8 video cams data to Telsa? This would mean ould mean very high upload traffic and costs - sounds unrealistic. I assume Tesa sends the GPS data, and sensor data and maybe occasional photos back to HQ, but not full videos of all 8 cameras - or do you have a source/reference?
Very cool demonstration (despite curious choice of music!). I did notice that the lane markings are suspiciously bright and well-painted throughout the video. Almost as if they'd been touched up by Tesla! Or maybe this area just has particularly diligent road-painting crews. In many parts of the real world you'd be lucky to get such clear lane markings throughout the journey, certainly not here in the UK or in places…
There's also the longer (3:28) video with the Paint It Black theme: https://www.tesla.com/videos/autopilot-self-driving-hardware...
...so...going on basic understanding of IP rights management... If I was an investor I'd be super fucking pissed off Tesla is squandering capital on NOT CHEAP sync rights for Rolling Stones songs to be used in their PR materials. If I was an investor I'd be super fucking pissed off Tesla is ignorant enough about Intellectual Property that they'd use a Rolling Stones song in their PR materials without paying the NOT C…
