on 14.6 I seem to have "sticky" wifi when I leave home, I can get a few minutes away and my M3 still thinks its connected to my home wifi network, so wont play any spotify. It easily fixed by toggling the wifi off then on again, so it picks up the LTE connection, but slightly annoying. Anyone...

Turo is also available in EU/UK

The Automated Vehicles Act 2024 has now been published. You can view it here.

in some markets you can do this. in UK its pretty much what I did last year with my M3P - ordered from inventory on Friday, finance approved same day (nothing happened at weekend), insurance sorted on Monday and picked up on the Tuesday. Had weekend and diary commitments not been in the way, I...

AJ Bell also own US equities via CREST, but voting rights are now being honored there, albeit after pressure applied. This is seemingly a HL issue. I'm pressuring HL also to provide me my voting rights.

HL charges are actually quite reasonable. I pay fixed fee of £16.66 per month (trade costs are additional but for me I HODL so dont too much care) on funds way over £1m. I looked at Freetrade which are a little cheaper, for ISA funds to me they look fine, but their SIPP has no flexible...

They are now building the factory, that's a pretty good reason to take this timeframe more seriously?

I've just been able to cast votes on my TSLA shareholding through A J Bell (UK)..still waiting to hear from Hargreaves Lansdown.....

Yeah, strikes are very likely from those disrupted by autonomy, be it taxi drivers, delivery vans, truck drivers, food delivery.... it may make things tricky for some corporations, or lead to acts of sabotage by some disgruntled workers, but I doubt it will slow the transition in any meaningful...

the parliament website page is clearly out of date. It was announced in Parliament yesterday that it had received royal assent. see link below: https://parliamentlive.tv/event/index/dd5aed19-c65f-4bf2-8a37-dcaad209b4cd?in=14:34:24

My understanding is that they have said that FSD supervised is ready now for Europe LHD markets, but that RHD will take longer. But of course Europe is not ready for FSD yet, law wise..... and by the time they are ready I would not be surprised to see Tesla being RHD ready also. They said also...

The Automated Vehicles Bill has received royal assent today, so is now law. lets hope things happen quickly from here...

China will have to ensure its products do not contain western parts either, to ensure they are not themselves sanctioned. Comacs C919 and upcoming C929 both use western engines, so it will not be straightforward.

audible in my Tesla works for me fine in the UK. I used the displayed QR code and it worked. although IIRC it took two attempts... I suggest you try again.

The current UNECE rules on motorway overtaking, from time to start change procedure, gap to vehicle behind, speed of lane change, to time out if incomplete, are IMHO completely unreasonable, to a point where I have difficulty seeing Robotaxi's being practicable in UNECE territories if those...

They would not be able to train the models to abide by UNECE rules (not only g-forces, but lane changes, indication timing etc) as practically no human driver drives like that.

The Tesla autopilot system could easily do those corners too - we know that the same builds did fine in the USA. Its just the UNECE insisted that certain G-forces could not be exceeded, and Tesla implemented this to deactivate the system rather than to slow the car and reduce the G loads to...

IMHO the rules are set for G-force way less than this. The G-force restriction is absurd and would entail slowing down far more than surrounding traffic to "make" the corner.

My definition would be : an automous car at level 4, which by that definition would involve geofencing and likely some weather restrictions as well. At level 4 the cars would be autonomous and could be operated as RoboTaxi's, just like Waymo is now, however over time, the Geofencing for tesla...

Its happening. We can debate whether it will be HW3 or HW4 or HW5, we can debate when local laws will allow it, but on the evidence of it we now see in the USA, and recent rates of progress,.... I would think 2-3 decade timeframe is a long way off. I would wager that in the world somewhere...

I think this may be a smart idea - many similar components with the Y, including the front rear castings would not change, just a longer chassis. If they ever did this, I would expect it to replace the Model X (no point having both) - and assuming they either drop the Model S, or make a new S...

it was widely covered for all to see by Tesla in their "Autonomy Day" back in 2019. It is not TMC gossip.

Another : can hide the fact Russia is resorting to ancient T54 tanks.

Whilst I think I get the point you're driving at, to fully be on board with this point of view you would have to believe, pretty much, that outside of rush hours there is no traffic on the streets. This is fundamentally not the case, sure roads are busier in rush hours, but there is still...

another RCM failure for mine last night. Its been a blissful few weeks since the last one, now back to its old tricks again.

This is a FSD 12.3.3 video with a difference - from the perspective of someone who has worked on autonomy (not Tesla) for 20 years and is now trying FSD for the first time, including some history of the projects he's worked on. good stuff!

me too. I woke up this morning to tons of connection lost notifications form my Andersen charger "220202081 internet cloud connection lost" It seems to have re-connected itself sometime later this morning whilst I as out.

I do not think that is correct. The bill is based on work by the law commission, which was explicit in describing new legislation that would be available in the UK separately to UNECE compliance. The Bill talks about the UK Secretary of State having powers to authorise automated vehicles, and...

UNECE rules, not EU unfortunately, so UK in the mix. However, UK does seem to be going for dual legislation with their Autonomous Vehicles Bill (going through parliament now), maybe UK can do something a littler different/sooner?

"Food price fears as Brexit import charges revealed" "Small imports of products such as fish, salami, sausage, cheese and yoghurt will be subject to fees of up to £145 from 30 April." More Brexit impacts that will increase costs of food imports in the UK, and potentially reduce choice...

agree. on the current build a UK free trial is pointless, indeed probably a negative, as it will quite possibly make it more difficult to win back these people later.

I'm installing 2024.8.7 now 2023 M3P "security improvements" are the release notes.

it seemed quicker than the previous USS version of auto park, which often did many in/out manoeuvres to get into a space. yes could be quicker (which will likely come) but form what I can see much better than previous implementation.

indeed. And then look up dashcam camera videos on youtube and see thousands of horrific examples of human driving on a regular basis. Already, even before we reach level 4, FSD seems to be being held to a different standard. truth will be in the data.

My wipers seem much better on the latest 2024.8.4 build. I was getting annoyed with them (they seemed to get worse for me over the last few builds), but it now seems much improved. I've had only a single dry wipe since this update and have not yet needed to request a manual wipe. Out driving...

Yet human drivers have no duplex corroboration (although my wife sometimes will shout at me ;)), we only have one brain and one set of control outputs. Also humans cannot view all traffic and objects around the car simultaneously and as we know are prone to distraction, be that inside the car...

The other thing to consider, is that in a RoboTaxi world you might be sipping a coffee and watching some netflix, and not even know you're behind a slow moving vehicle. You'll see an ETA displayed on the screen and its likely many would not really care too much.

huh? FSDBeta is currently only available in USA and Canada - its all we've got to go on if you are interested in FSDBeta. There is nowhere else to look? Missing my point, which is that edge cases appear everywhere, UK is not a special case with weird complex roads that no one else has in the...

More UK exceptionalism? This scenario, and variants of it can exist in any country, not just UK. At Level 2, this is fine, just disengage and overtake, for Level 4+ or Robotaxi, more of an issue, but one of journey length/time rather than safety. Tesla will have the data at level 2 knowing...

Tesla were advertising for autopilot test drivers in the UK not so long ago, and there has been a (ok, only one!) cropped picture of a FSDBeta car driving in the UK in a RHD car. China and continental europe likely before UK courtesy of the side of the road we drive, but who really knows. It...

rules will allow it (at level 2) in UK within 6 months. Once its launched in UK, price will likely rise, just as it did in USA, so a bit of a gamble, but might be worth considering later in the year if you want it.

This argument that UK's roads are "special" somehow is an odd one. We have seen FSDBeta work down dirt tracks in USA, multilane roundabouts, rush hour traffic in LA/NYC, twisty narrow roads in the hills with traffic parked on each side, pedestrians in the road, e-scooters, gold carts, and yes...

I don't think that's the case. The motorway stack in USA was merged with the city streets stack last year sometime (cant recall the version number, v11 perhaps?). You can tell just by the visuals that the US version is much different. In UK we are still on legacy code from way before this...

It's quite possible that the total cost of ownership for a self driving $25k car will be less than an ICE. This can be improved further by reviewing costs and licensing of FSD - I still maintain that Tesla could increase margins by offering FSD as a personal license without RoboTaxi option...

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/lucid-signs-deal-raise-1-bln-saudis-pif-affiliate-2024-03-25/ Luxury electric automaker Lucid said on Monday it had signed a deal to raise $1 billion in funding from an affiliate of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), sending its...

looks to be different location to the original planning agreement (now expired) at those services from a few years ago?

there have been many FSDBeta videos this weekend showing no right on red junctions being treated correctly, the fleet is learning this already. I recall Elon saying at some point that 90% of the learning can simply apply in Europe, and that they have only 10% specific training to do on...

Could they not simply inverse the video feed input and reverse the steering wheel and indicator outputs, either in training, or "on the fly" in the car when its in UK? It depends. If the UNECE rules inhibit the system to a great extent and restrict innovation then its not impossible. Moving to...

IIRC the original proposals from the Law Society were that this would be dual legislation. Cars have to be UNECE qualifying to be sold in UNECE territories, however, they can additionally meet UK legislation separately. As such if there is divergence on autonomy rules, then cars could offer UK...

Tesla would likely be legally on the hook if it did not deliver FSD in Europe when legislation eventually allows it here. they may prioritise China over Europe, we'll see, but I'm confident it will appear over here. As for driving on the left hand side of the road, its not just us, but 30% of...
