2024, I didn’t ask the dealership guy what hardware powered it (because I don’t care), I reviewed it here actually: https://fuelarc.com/cars/review-2024-tesla-model-3-long-range-rwd/

I don’t see how it could have gotten much better with a vision-based solution, but who knows? Personally, it wasn’t in the same ballpark as acceptable quality for my use-case. I don’t expect incremental software patches will fix that to my satisfaction.

Again, I’m weird, never been in an accident and I drive a ton, I’m particular about my car not crashing because I used to be on an ambulance crew and treating car-crash victims really takes the shine off your apple.

Poor anticipation of turns and poor trailing distance. Didn’t spot many other vehicles on the road, too, that’s ultimately what made me pull the plug.

(saw that, I agree, I bet it will be Tokyo next)

Even on non-lethal accidents, Waymo generates something like 12x fewer.

I think that tech will be the automotive equivalent of the polio vaccine. Dying in road accidents will become akin to dying of rabies, a freak accident of extreme rarity. Probably, so will driving cars with no autonomous capabilities.

I’m glad for you!

Personally, I tried it. Wasn’t my cup of tea, bad safety margins (it doesn’t drive how I drive, and I am particular). There’s a consumer for that product, though. So long as you watch it closely, I certainly don’t mind, glad it suits you.

I mean, there are traffic violations, and then there are traffic violations - if there’s a dead body at the end, it was the second type.

Neither is desirable, but it would actually be a big win to create a tech system that drives a car that produces fewer fatalities per mile than the average human, regardless of whether or not it generates speeding tickets or other inconveniences.

That’s my opinion, anyway. I won’t downvote you, I only downvote comments unhelpful to the overall conversation, you’re not being unhelpful, I just disagree with you.

Love me some good Beeb coverage, this is great

I was actually surprised that Waymo had only thousands of units in operation.

That being said, 3,000 commercially operating for years with zero fatalities, that’s not nothing. It’s not a ton, it doesn’t change the world (much), but it isn’t zero. Tesla’s result so far rounds down to zero.

No, no, the AI calls APIs.

That is to say, A.ctual P.eople in I.ndia

It’s me. And yes, I’m bad at math, guilty as charged. I tend to make pretty simple points.

But, yes, when a publicly traded company promises exponential growth on their earnings calls, and then delivers double-digit unit delivery a year later, I do tend to point and laugh. All of that is accurate.

Do they know how to scale up an autonomous taxi service? I mean, maybe? There’s no sign of that anywhere in the Tesla data, though.

The original target was Robotaxis to cover “half the US population by the end of 2025,” so we’re nowhere close to on-target, and those goals weren’t given with any asterix on the earnings call when they were declared. I don’t see any reason to move the goalpost, it’s just a miss taken to a funny conclusion.

Figured I could trust you to find the link that says “WROTE A TUTORIAL.”

Linux, but you can run Android apps once you root it :)

It’s an excessively involved process at the moment, this individual managed it by using a common malware method, he imitated a legitimate OTA update but rewrote it to root the system. He was basically his own supply-chain-attacker: https://hackaday.com/2022/07/18/hacker-liberates-hyundai-head-unit-writes-custom-apps/

Didn’t realize folks would want a proof-of-concept of HOW it was done.

If you want a proof-of-concept, like steps for how to do the thing, that’s here: https://hackaday.com/2022/07/18/hacker-liberates-hyundai-head-unit-writes-custom-apps/

(This is the spirit of the post: Doom is a fun and silly demonstration of the software being hackable.)

That’s the spirit!

As a Toyota truck owner, can confirm.

Kei Kei’s delivery service.

I sometimes feel shortchanged as an American (no healthcare, FUUUUCK), but I only get real mad about it when I think about how we don’t get Hiluxes and Kei trucks.

MFW I say how much on the Fediaverse.
