I am scared by how much the detection boxes flicker and disappear randomly, it indicates how unsure the system is.
Look from a consumer standpoint why would I want a system like this? I mean aside from the toy factor, why would I trust it? I can’t take a nap while it’s driving. I can’t look at a screen or read a book. I have to in fact be more on alert than when I am driving because when I am driving I know what my inputs into the car are and I just need to worry about the external inputs (shape of the road, traffic, signs, road…
I would love something like this for the longer, boring, predictable drives. For example the I5 drive from LA to SF. That's a pretty straightforward, predictable and mostly uneventful 6h drive that seems straightforward to delegate to a machine. There are no pedestrians, no intersections, nothing crossing the street. The main dangers would be around objects on the road, other vehicles getting in a crash or doing some…
Yes this is making the assumption that, when the unexpected occurs, an experienced human driver still outperforms whatever self driving code may be running.
>"[A] final release of City Streets will continue to be an SAE Level 2, advanced driver-assistance feature," continued Williams. "Please note that Tesla’s development of true autonomous features (SAE Levels 3+) will follow our iterative process (development, validation, early release, etc.) and any such features will not be released to the general public until we have fully validated them and received any required regulatory permits or approvals."
City Streets is a feature of the current offering, not what Tesla apparently intends to deliver in finality.
Slightly misleading headline. The Tesla spokesperson said the 'Auto Steering on City Streets', which is the formal name of the feature currently in beta, will remain hands on, basically because it's illegal to do anything otherwise. That doesn't mean they aren't pursuing FSD and won't release it to the public, but that it needs to be done with regulatory approval.
I don’t really understand how people are able to extrapolate flawed conclusions like this

Much as I'd love to have L5 self-driving today, it would probably be at least a little funny to see the number of people on this board insisting it would be available in 2018 or 2019 and certainly not many years out.

I hate how the passenger is absolutely amazed and always commenting how well the car handles some minor tasks while it fails miserably at double parking, turning, and most importantly driving predictably for other cars. The driver is luckily a lot more skeptical but that could be attributed to the fact the he is the one being highly alert and keeping the car from running into things.
a) Elon Musk fanatics
b) shareholders trying to save face on behalf of the company
their reaction makes perfect sense.

Like I get many here were expecting fully self-driving cars by 2020, but even what have right now is kinda mind-boggling.

Exactly! And by 2019 Teslas will be driving themselves from LA to NY with no driver intervention.
