I feel the difference is that Autosteer takes over steering entirely, while lane assist in the Korean cars steers the wheel with you. It’s a different experience and in some ways superior, such as being able to steer around obstacles without disengaging and being able to set whatever speed you want.

Is it known why the overrides aren't allowed? Is a regulator forcing Tesla and only Tesla to do this? Other manufacturers let you set whatever speed you want even with their equivalent of Autosteer active.

As an N=1 viewpoint, I personally would pay more for Robotaxi than for Uber, even if due to economics the pricing is likely to be less. Some reasons why: * Standardization of quality and maintenance. No more getting picked up by beater Toyotas or Hondas. * No bull*sugar* about the driver rating...

After taking a lot of Uber rides during a vacation, I'm more bullish about the future of Robotaxi and honestly can't wait for it to be deployed in more cities. I'm also rooting for Waymo as healthy competition is always good. There are just so many potential advantages, and too many...

It’s embarrassing if accurate. Some open source thing that you have to wire in shouldn’t be working better than the car’s own software. Hopefully Tesla steps it up.

Seems to me like this kind of thing should really be covered by map data instead of having to rely on OCR reading of signs. Map data can't cover temporary changes (well, actually it could if it was planned and coordinated) but it should be able to capture the regular situation. Why isn't Tesla...

Robotaxi is going to have a hard time competing with Uber for speed. Had to use it, and both drivers today were rolling through stops at 15, though the second was really good about driving exactly the limit around schools. FSD plus regen in general have “trained” me to slow down more at stops...

Now that my trial has ended, here’s what I’m hoping for in a future FSD: 1) Not knowing when the thing is going to change lanes is very stressful. Most of the other FSD behaviors don’t bother me that much as I can always just take over, but I find this alone is reason enough to just drive...

there are still a lot of dead zones in Canada so hopefully not slowing down too much. It’s nearly 2025, it should be possible to go just about anywhere by EV at this point.

Coming from a previous car that was off by nearly 10%, I was impressed when the Y said I was going 120 and gps indicated 119. That’s close enough for me!

A couple of notes from the morning drive today. 1) FSD does not GAF about obstructed visibility. The roads around here are in a grid with lots of parked cars. There are also a lot of a-holes that gun it across the road without checking for oncoming traffic. When I honk at them, they'll either...

Mine also biases too far to the right. I especially don't like it during right turns but also when there’s parked cars. Zero chance if someone opens their door or pops out. I don’t mind the accelerator overrides so much but it’s annoying that I can’t move the car so much as an inch with the...

I don’t think they would necessarily do this either. Maybe for regions but not for every toggle. There should be other ways to control it. Something like how you would prompt a LLM: « please keep the Gs down and try very hard not to change lanes, ok? ». There’d still be an increased test burden...

It’s funny but Tesla says the same thing for the Model Y and probably the other models too.

No books or screens but he is just susceptible… I once had to travel internationally with toddler puke all over myself and no change of clothes (I had for him, but I was the one that needed new clothes! 😵‍💫). He’s also puked in every car but never in the Tesla. It’s getting better as he gets...
