This has been my experience as well; I've notice subtle but definite behavior changes on highway driving. Of course this could just mean they upgraded the highway stack as well. Then again, I'm kinda confused by this talk of separate highway and off-highway stacks. I thought we'd moved to...

Like all of us here, I've used FSD beta long enough to get a good sense of what it can handle and what it can't. My various local commutes are filled with situations that it can't handle, from choosing the wrong turn lane on a recently repainted road to a highway on-ramp that was a real...

Yeah, not going to be ordering one of those!

Oh, God, me too! There's a four-lane street I take every day. At the first intersection I come to, it _used_ to be one left turn lane and three straight-ahead lanes, which fed into a three-lane street. It was repaved last summer and the markings changed to that there are now two left turn...

Bear in mind that you're watching a carefully edited series of video from a single person. Are there situations in which V12 does insanely stupid things, or is worse for a given case than V11? We don't know, and while we can see V12 doing amazing things in Omar's videos, we won't really know how...

well, yeah, but that's true for a lot of words, especially for "terms of art" in various disciplines. From a software developer perspective, you'll find very broad agreement that "beta" typically denotes software that is considered feature complete, but has not been thoroughly validated...

IRL, it's "each component can be encapsulated". In my experience this rarely is the case. Since C++ is tacked onto regular C, programmers are still free to use regular C syntax and operations (e.g. malloc) and many do, It's so easy to just use a global to get data from this object into that...

As a retired programmer, I would dispute that. Admittedly my last professional work in C++ was over a decade ago. Has the standard template library become more useful? Even if so, I don't see how it can ever be anything more than object-oriented grammar tacked on top of a very old procedural...

I was looking for the round steering wheel retrofit for my 2032 MSLR, but it's gone from the app, and I don't see anything at shop.tesla.com. Has Tesla stopped selling this upgrade?

My post was intended as an off-the-cuff, very simplified outline of how this problem could be tackled with non-NN programming. Of course the code would take the car's movement into account, probably try to discern object vectors by looking at the different camera images, et cetera so on and such...

Sure there is, It would work something like this: 1. Look at a frame from the cameras. Tentatively identify cars and other objects that might be moving. 2, Check for positional changes in subsequent frames. Spawn a new thread to track each object that is determined to be in motion. 3. In each...

On the other hand, Tesla successfully developed their own chips for FSD when they found the Drive PX computer from Nvidia didn't fit their needs. I don't know if Dojo will work out or not-- it's not looking good, based on Elon's comments in the latest earnings call. But Tesla was built on...

Good thing nobody told Seymor Cray that…

Man! I'm still on 2023.27.12...

According to the Mercedes web site, Drive Pilot is an extremely limited system that only operates under the following conditions: Clear lane markings on approved freeways Moderate to heavy traffic with speeds under 40 MPH Daytime lighting and clear weather Driver visible by camera located...
