I'm not sure we have even reached the 90% mark yet (the first nine).

I would guess that the cost of a bespoke supercomputer is significantly higher than just building one out off off the shelf Nvidia chips.

Aside from the whole nobody-in-the-driver's-seat thing.

The driving map is most likely not graphical. It is probably just a database with things like GPS coordinates and road information (number of lanes, stop sign locations, etc.).

Motor Trend chimes in with their evaluation of the updated software: What Changed After the Tesla Autosteer Recall? Not Much.

So only two non-factual statements by your review of the article. It’s quite a long article, so that seems pretty good to me. Based on your prior comments it sounded like the article was rife with errors. When I read the phrase “took the wheel”, I didn’t interpret it as the car forcibly taking...

The next time that prediction is made for 2024.

I’m curious as to which parts of the article you did not factual. I didn’t see any glaring errors, but clearly I have not reviewed the article as closely as you.

He does go on to say, “After digging around Tesla’s website, I discovered that Tesla saysobeying stop signs and stop lights is a function included for those who pay for Full Self-Driving.” So he specifically calls out the distinction you are asking for. Most of the general public thinks...

Seems like the author discovered that the same way as all new users do. I don’t see anything nefarious about those quotes. The target audience is people who don’t own Teslas and are not familiar with how it operates, so that must be explained to the audience.

New year now. Any guesses on when fully autonomous Teslas will be predicted for the “end of this year?” 😁

I read the article yesterday and it seems pretty typical of reviews of the latest software right here on TMC.

What version does your car report from the "Software" screen in the car, or at the very bottom of the Tesla app home page?

Current Teslas are not Level 3, they are Level 2. Level 2 is "driving assist," the human in the driver's seat is responsible at all times.

In an L4 or L5 car, there is no requirement for anyone to even be in the car, so you have to think about the minimum safe requirements in that situation as well. The car hits a deer when there isn’t any one in the car, what does it need to do. It can’t rely on a human taking over.
