“FSD” should always be in quotes. What a joke from a company run by a mentally ill self proclaimed Nazi.
Full Sorta Drives
Fucking Shit at Driving
it seemed fine at the start, then it suddenly pulled to the hard right.
They made it about 2.5% of the planned trip on Tesla FSD v13.9 before crashing the vehicle.
A ha ha ha ha
and how much of the $2T promised did Edolf Twitler cut from government spending?
They said it was the latest software but did not say whether the hardware was the latest. I wonder if it had HW 4, higher resolution cameras or the front bumper camera
Since they’ve gotten rid of LIDAR, there has been nothing but trouble. Such a monumentally stupid decision to try to brute force things the software route.
They never had LIDAR, only a few companies do (like Waymo). Teslas used to have RADAR but even that was removed.
to rely on cameras…because it doesn’t ever rain or snow in southern california.
Who cares, Tesla doesn’t have FSD software or hardware
No one has full self-driving yet, but it does have potential to change the world if anyone does succeed. I’m interested in all developments toward that, regardless of Nazi ceos
You know what will change the world?
When governments finally give bicycles a chance, like in the Netherlands. THAT solves a multitude of issues, saves incredible amounts of money for both governments and citizens alike, and will lower the car death toll by a vast majority.
Oh, and it also lowers pollution (yes, EVs still pollute) by factors and saves tonnes of energy as hauling two tonnes of steel to buy a bottle of milk is just insanity
That ignores the full self driving for a second, which still doesn’t exist anywhere and won’t come into existence for another good decade at least (We’re FAR away from that) but that will be the real revolution
Sure but that’s even further away, at least in the us. We’ve had 80 years of our biggest growth planning cities around cars and fixing that is going to take a generation or more.
We’re starting. There’s been steady migration to cities over the last couple decades. More places are paying attention to walkability, transit oriented growth. Bicycle infrastructure is starting to be built out.
I live in one of the places that’s been making decent progress, although my bad knees, people’s bad driving, and the area’s bad weather make cycling the least attractive transportation. But all the same design principles also encourage walkability and transit.
shareholder-influencers
I did not know my body could feel this revolted
Have you heard that they call themselves “rebellionaires”?
Rebellends
Well, there core of every Tech-related mania since at least the Net boom in the late 90s has been people invested into the mania passing themselves as just people giving friendly advice online to try and convince others to jump into the bandwagon in order for their own stakes to go up in value.
This kind of shit has been more than normalized for decades.
The only unusual thing thing here is that they’re open about having an investment in TSLA.
I can’t hear you over me holding my tulips so tightly my knuckles are cracking.
I don’t care what shareholders do behind closed doors, but they shouldn’t be allowed to shove it down our throats in public where children can see it!
(Obviously sarcasm, they shouldn’t be allowed to exist behind closed doors either)
The internet and social media have given everyone worldwide voices, and that’s both good and bad.
And there is so much pessimism for the future that lots of people are willing to sell their souls to cash out while they’re still here.
They point out in this incident and an incident from the author where, when you’re relying on Autopilot, even when you see something well in advance, you hesitate to react because you expect the car to do it for you.
I’ve always felt the myriad of safety features that protect the driver through corrective input/output are more harm than good. If you rely on your lane assist, adaptive cruise control, and proximity sensors, you aren’t prepared to react when they fail.
You shouldn’t be under the impression that a car will save your life. You should always have the mindset that you are responsible for the vehicle. If someone hit my small car because a sensor failed on theirs, I don’t give a shit if your system failed. You’re the responsible driver.
If you rely on your lane assist, adaptive cruise control, and proximity sensors, you aren’t prepared to react when they fail.
Yes! They’re making people lazy and inattentive behind the wheel.
Anything but proper training, testing, and enforcement.
Its basically LLM brain rot but for driving.
We have an interesting highway near me where the HOV reverses direction for morning /evening commutes. When I come home from my son’s and it’s going the opposite direction, the stupid car would happily plough the multiple striped lift arms with red ribbons and flashing red lights at the entrance.
You are an idiot to have driven with AP/FSD and waited as long as they did.
That’s an easy argument to make but the reality is not that simple. Determining how many accidents are caused by these systems is much easier than determining how many accidents they have prevented. When an accident happens there’s something that can be investigated. There’s data. But when the system saves you and you go on your merry way, it’s never reported anywhere. The statistics have a very extreme bias here.
This will sound ridiculous and I’m not claiming it’s even a valid feeling, but I’d rather die by my own hand with my input being involved than to have a safety system fail and have no involvement from me.
At least then I know there was some action I could have maybe taken to prevent it. But when it’s a safety system (still under heavy development) that fails, I’d feel way more cheated. Someone convinced me I would be safe and now they’ve lied.
This is the massive gulf between level 3 and 4 systems, and why level 3 is potentially dangerous.
I’m a very firm believer in the fact that safety features should be annoying and uncomfortable. Your lane assist needs to beep loudly every time it moves you back, thereby not only keeping you safe, but indirectly conditioning you to keep between the lanes to avoid the annoying beep.
My dad’s Mercedes indeed beeps incredibly loudly (anyone sleeping immediately wakes up in a panic) if the blind spot sensor goes off… which it does as soon as you put your blinker on.
Guess what that wonderful bit of tech taught my dad to do? That’s right, don’t use the blinker to change lanes if you don’t want your eardrums blown out.
The fundamental problem is that car manufacturers aren’t being held liable for the accidents caused directly or indirectly by these “safety” systems. There is zero oversight and no mandate to investigate false positives of these systems, even when they cause an accident. The end result is that for the manufacturers the point is not to improve safety but to do obnoxious safety theater so regulators look away from rising pedestrian deaths. “Sure our cars are one ton heavier, but they have automatic braking soooo we’re good right?”
Who knows if these gadgets actually do anything or even if they don’t decrease overall safety. The manufacturer gets positive marketing, throws the regulator off their scent, and isn’t held liable for shit when the “safety” system fails or encourages bad habits. Win-win-win. Except the general public loses. But who ever cared about these schmucks?
I have a particular gripe against lane keep assist. When it was active on cars I’ve rented… on the mountain passes just outside of the Vancouver Area, it went off way too often, since the lines would get blurry, or you have to stay clear of oncoming trucks around a curve meaning you have to go to the shoulder a bit. Also giving space when passing bicycle riders on the shoulder you (after checking of course), move to the centre just a tad.
Making these features more annoying would lead to alarm fatigue more than better behaviour.
I had to turn off the lane assist in our Mazda for that reason. It was constantly steering me back toward obstacles I was trying to avoid. I cursed it many times.
Other false alarms are frequent enough that I’m starting to ignore the alarm, so when it actually catches me in a mistake, I’ll probably ignore it then, too, and be in a crash.
One could say “the thing speaks for itself”.
Hans?
Ja, Franz? Is it time for us to pump! [Clap] You up?
Not sure if that’s where you were going, my comment from before is just a literal translation of OP’s username.
I get the Hans & Franz reference, but I didn’t notice OP’s username. My reference is to chess grandmaster Hans Niemann describing how he beat world champion Magnus Carlsen in a controversial match.
Lines up nicely as “chess ipsa loquitur” as long as you don’t mind being hunted to the ends of the Earth by dead language pedants.
“People called Romanes they go the house”?
You have to be a certain kind of stupid to allow this to happen. The dude in the driver seat is a paint chip eater for sure
