Since we already have a xkcd comic, here's one from SMBC. Tesla has always relied on extremely risky strategies to sell their car. They got lucky that all the firetrucks and police cars they hit never killed a cop or emergency responder, they got lucky no big lawsuits related to FSD promises got off the ground ... but their luck will run out. All that's staving off lawsuits for false advertising and breach of contract is that they keep doubling down, instead of throwing in the towel and admitting the timeframe is shot and they have no idea when or if it will ever work, but I can't see that strategy working indefinitely. https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/fsd |

Thought the video, on neural networks, would help give an introduction, at least helping me understand the scale of the hardware involved. - - Rick-Jack |

Tesla build in a hack to try to detect flashing lights to help with all the false negatives for crashes against stationary vehicles. Hasn't helped yet. I don't see why people expect so much from FSD when autopilot keeps getting into silly crashes. |

--- Quote from: Ed.Kloonk on April 25, 2021, 12:35:14 pm ---When I was in England, manuals were -everywhere-. I asked around and the reason I was given was that the manual goes back decades. Nobody bought the automatic because you'd spend that extra money on other features. Or save the money, of course. I'm wondering if is still the case and if the non-essential high-tech in cars there might be overlooked. --- End quote --- In England it used to be big car automatic, small car manual, and in England most cars are small. Things have really changed in the last 5 years. Automatics now slightly outsell manuals, and their market share is increasing rapidly. With electrification, whether partial (i.e. hybrids) or full, automatics will clearly take over. Even driving schools are finally considering taking automatics seriously as learner cars. |
