@jimmy_d Just to make sure I am understanding this correctly, have the main, narrow, and repeaters separated themselves from GoogleNet and are running a NN that was developed by Tesla while the fisheye is still running on GN?

Wow, great info there! We know how ambitious Tesla is with projects, especially AP :D I would sure hope that after the multiple stumbles with the platform that they would go with a solution they know would work. Lets hope they can pull that off!

Some radars are now being made so you can position it in the center of the car and still get data from multiple lanes since they angle the sensors. I'm not saying Tesla is using this for the rear radar, but here is an example of what I am talking about. Maybe they chose this route because it was...

I have a family friend who works at Waymo and according to them (from late this summer) their vehicles still can only travel in areas pre-mapped due to that being a requirement to use the LIDAR. Chris Urmson back in 2013 also talked about this in his TED Talk I believe. Obviously this is...

I don't think anyone will be able to personally buy one of Waymos cars, there's really no need for them to sell you one. When we get to full self driving, many people (starting in big cities) won't own cars, but just hail them when needed. That's what they are going for

Same here. Theoretically emails could go out tomorrow to Owners to order their car, the configurator isn't needed since there is just the First Production model currently.

I'm a 3 Res holder and would love to meet up with everyone at some point!

If you find anymore please post them! Looking to get a good deal

Ouch, just got burned :D

I'll shoot you a DM soon! Two of the offers are from states with no sales tax on EV's and are conveniently located in the state next to me, so that saves some money

Yes, as I said above, I will be paying for the taxes. But two offers are from states who don't charge a sales tax on EV's, so that saves a lot of money there.

Wow, that's insane! Thanks for the insight :)

I wouldn't calculate the $7K into the car. The seller would already buy the car for $35K upfront, I would cover that, taxes, and then premium. in

Agreed, most people pre-ordering are wanting to own the Model 3, but there are others that aren't. Check my comment down below
