What if we just, you know, walk a bit more instead? Or even cycle? I hear great things.
Clearly you live in a large city and find everything you want there.

On top of that, this might signal that Tesla is confident enough in their autolabeling that they no longer need as much human intervention. This job title theoretically should be temporary.
lol - FSD is a scam, and the reckoning is here.

#104The autopilot part of Tesla has never made much sense. Is Tesla the electric car company, or is it the luxury car company? Either way, why does the power train (EV or ICE) come into play at all? Not only that, but Tesla has played the Innovator's Dilemma game from the position of the upstart financially, but targeted the segment of the market that incumbents will defend to the death (luxury cars). Tesla could have go…

And we haven't even adressed that drving is not a purely technical endeavor, it's largely a social one.
A social one where you use experience to make inferences about what is going to happen next. Who hasn't observed an aggressive driver coming up from behind, weaving around other cars and said to themselves something like "that guy is going to cut me off, better ease off the gas so there's a little extra room in front for when he does". That level of situational awareness isn't coded for is it? Edit: I have a whole me…

For how long though? It seems like traditional automakers have mostly figured out EVs now. I love my Chevy EV, and it's 4 years old now. Similarly, the Kia EV I recently drove was excellent(although the Bolt one pedal driving is better IMHO).
The situation outside the US is even worse for Tesla. There's a whole swathe of great EVs these days from VW (ID.3, ID.4), Renault (Megane, E-2008), Opel (Corsa-e), Volvo (C40, XC40), Ford (Mustang Mach-E), Jaguar (I-PACE), Polestar, BMW (i4, iX), Audi (e-Tron), Mercedes (EQS), Skoda (Enyaq), etc. The range of models is also much wider in terms of affordability. In Europe, we've reached the point where an EV is just…

I remain convinced that "real" self driving (as in: go ahead and sleep in the backseat) will never happen without changes to road infrastructure and possibly some sort of segregation between robot-driven cars and people-driven cars. Things like traffic signals that actively communicate their status to nearby robot cars (more than just a red lamp that can be occluded by weather, other vehicles, or mud on the camera le…
What you are describing is essentially railway system.

4. Need to understand the cop who is directing people into lanes by jutting his chin subtly in different directions when you make eye contact with him 5. Need to understand that occluded objects have not vanished from the universe never to be seen again
6. Need to reasonably predict what that human that just made eye contact with you would likely do next, and how that's different from what he might do when he doesn’t make eye contact with you. And all of that differs if you're in NYC or SF or small town, Indiana
