| Tesla Full Self Driving (FSD) info - interesting stuff! |

There was a recent thread hereabouts on why software projects are prone to be late. It seemed the "fudge factor" ended up at about 1.8 ... so if Tesla promises fully automated driving within one year, they might actually make it in two! |

By the end of the year, it is supposed to be released for actual customers. --- End quote --- By the end of Last year Musk was supposed to release space tourism. I am still looking for a space tickets sales office. The problem is this idiot smokes too much. --- End quote --- Please stop posting this nonsense misinformation in every thread remotely related to Musk :palm:. Please provide any reference to your words. Oh you can't, because there isn't. |

I wish they would focus on making innovative high performance and practical EVs. I could not care less about self driving, the whole point of owning a personal car is that I get to drive it, when I don't feel like driving, I take the bus which is a much more efficient way of moving people. I think we are still at least 10 years away from fullly autonomous cars, possibly longer. Driving a car outside of carefully controlled conditions is just too complex of a task. Computers are good at the mechanical aspect but way back when I took drivers ed I remember the instructor emphasizing that driving is primarily a social activity and computers still utterly fail when it comes to nuanced social interactions. It will be trivial for people to troll autonomous cars and exploit their predictable behavior and I suspect a lot of people will make a game of it. |

You could put a brick in a paper bag and trick people into running over it. You could turn around signs to point the wrong way on dangerous corners. There are many ways to “troll” human drivers. But guess what? People on the whole aren’t psychopaths and aren’t running around trying to cause car accidents by exploiting weaknesses in whatever way cars are currently driven. |

It has been more than forty years since I lived and worked somewhere where riding the bus was an easy option. The closest it has come in the recent past involved several miles of walking, and currently I have a ten mile walk to the nearest bus stop. While I enjoy driving sometimes, most of the time it is a necessary evil. Particularly on long vacation trips I would enjoy the ability to sit back and enjoy the scenery. But even on the daily trips it would be nice to use that time for research, pleasure reading, thinking about the problem du jour or whatever. |
