    Done giving Tesla the benefit of the doubt on Autopilot and adaptive cruise control- it's JUNK.

    I used to get those and generally it hadn't done anything except beep the warning. I always felt they were a variation on phantom braking, suddenly realizing it was not in it's lane or there was a shadow or a skid mark, response. About once in twenty of those, it would actually turn the...

    Can FSD hallucinate?

    My Tesla routinely hallucinates semi's while parked in my carport, which doesn't really bother me and certainly isn't a safety hazard. But seeing people walking around in a grave yard that normal humans can't see, not so much. I can picture it easily turning into a safety hazard as people...

    FSDS 12.2.3/4 Safety Interventions

    .4 is really making me anxious to see the highway merge to v12. So much better than .3

    Thesis and Poll - Long TSLA Short auto insurance

    Mine was $75 / month and my SS was 100%. Until I went to Burger King on an exceptionally slow day and waited in line for 45 minutes. SS went to 80 something for "following to closely". Premium went to $130 and eventually $150. I don't eat at Burger King any more and SS is now 100%, so...

    March of 9s: The Beginning of the End

    To me, v11.x represented a valiant effort on Tesla's part to write software to take data in and output controls to the car well enough to allow the car to drive itself. I find it ironic that SpaceX has a recovery ship named "A Shortfall Of Gravitas", because of how accurately that describes...

    seattle crash

    If it bleeds, it leads! I really hate that as an operational model by the media.

    Program for specific conditions?

    Those people who provide training data manage to kill 40,000 of themselves in just the USA ever year. I'd be very nervous about my car "learning" from what it sees out on the road or from random people unless they have had a 100% safety score for a long time. I guess at this point I would have...

    Minor Phantom Braking Observation

    2022 MY LR When I was running 11.3.6, that is what mine did. Except mine was more like every 4th or 5th vehicle. If there was any consistency it was if I met a semi, followed closely by a car, it would likely be okay with the semi, but then the car would cause it to brake as hard as possible...

    Do I have to buy and carry extra charger in the car for long trips?

    Agreed. For routine driving and you have charging at home, (like a wall connector), no need for adapters. For a trip of a few thousand miles and several states, to visit the kids or friends and stay with friends and family and B&Bs, perhaps a motel or 3 and like Star Trek, go where no one has...

    March of 9s: The Beginning of the End

    I don't really agree. Wish I did, because it's a such a precise value. I believe the real march of 9's begins when the NHTSA data base verifies that FSD, with or without a human involved, is safer than human only driving. Translated that would be - How can anyone be opposed to something that...

    Do I have to buy and carry extra charger in the car for long trips?

    One of the easily dealt with, possible Tesla problems is a failure of the 12/16 v battery. Not such a big deal on an ICE vehicle, but on a Tesla, you can't even open the doors, put it in neutral so it can be pulled onto a truck, etc. If you pop out the little disc on the front bumper, the...

    Do I have to buy and carry extra charger in the car for long trips?

    This is probably a more rational viewpoint than mine personally. I have a horror of being stuck some place and at the mercy of those who just happen to have what I need, (for some astronomical price because they have me between a rock and a hard place). So I have a Tesla mobile connector, with...

    FSD 12 Has a mind of its own...

    I really haven't had any phantom braking that I can detect while sitting in my carport. But based upon the strange things that flicker on and off on the display, semi trucks, cars, ATVs, traffic safety cones, pedestrians, animals, etc., I suspect that it may be trying to brake for some of them...

    Brittish Columbia bans cars with level 3 through 5 Self Driving

    If this is because they are dangerous, then this is not enough. If they are so bad you can't drive one even with the driver assist turned off, then it should be illegal to own one? Or sell one?? But these have proven to be safer than cars without driver assist, therefore all motor vehicles...
