I think it comes down to depth of deep learning and process of object detection and classification. Humans go outside in and could care less about many of the visual features of objects these deep learning systems spend time on. Humans can see better but need far less data beyond silhouettes...

While I understand the math I doubt your assumption is correct for two reasons. One is that if Tesla had more sim miles and did that properly their vehicles would perform far better by now. Second is Musk would realize allowing folks to EVER take their hands off the wheel until L4 is extremely...

Here is a study using Tesla to show human's cannot utilize L2 properly. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321058854_Is_partially_automated_driving_a_bad_idea_Observations_from_an_on-road_study "With this in mind the authors of this paper argue that a shift in attitude is required to...

If Tesla really thought L3 should be skipped they would off no ability or modes to allow stearing control to be ceded. They do neither. That latest highway utilizes it as a feature. One trillion is from Toyota. If you extrapolate Rands data to a 10x better than a human and account for it not...

Trent - The 40% number is unsubstantiated. Jalopnik submitted a FOIA for the data. NHTSA and Tesla refused to supply it.And AAA raised their rates due to increased accidents and cost. I agree that 40% will be true someday. I don't think Tesla is actually achieving that now. - Elon said they...

My issue is not with the need for this tech. I support it and Elon's desire to attain it. The issue is the method used to achieve it needs to be effective and not risk lives needlessly. Tesla's approach does not meet that bar. Waz said this and so has John Krafcik recently. I am now part of...

I know how it works and why it does what it does. Data collected while the driver maintains steering control is a must. The issue is ceding control of steering to the vehicle. I am now part of the SAE V&V Task Force. They would not have extended that invitation for no reason. Also please read...

Responding without discussing the low level details or specific merits of pints people make, like playing shoot the messenger or guessing, or throwing out hyperbole is usually a clear demonstration you have no valid push back. I provided the links to an extremely detailed article with links to...

Not and investor or short seller. Do just a little DD instead of responding without doing none.

Wasn't my point. I worked at Lockheed and managed hundreds in an organization with tens of thousands in a company with hundreds of thousands. The only time you let that many folks go at the end of the year especially when things are behind is when there is a RIF. You do not jam your HR group...

The link was meant to avoid repasting. As for "rathole" those who cannot make objective points to disprove something usually resort to lashing out. Elon did it today several times in the call. Why not rise above that. take the issue seriously, do your homework and respond accordingly?

It should not be done there either. Most of this should be in aerospace level simulation. Read about Waymo's recent sea change in their Safety Report. And Krafcik publicly pushing back on Tesla. The reason he is doing that is that he now realizes how wrong they were. And that those who...

The point is it's not practical.Show me a similar situation where that occurs?

The issue is not that they don't use simulation. It is the depth and breadth. It should replace most public shadow driving. Handover and public shadow driving (letting go of the wheel) cannot not be made safe over the long term or on most high speed, complex and dangerous situations. it has been...

There are no environmental test facilitates that can test these roof tiles? And accelerate the testing then use metrics to reliably project 30 years?
