It's not a political appointment. She IS an expert, and exactly the kind of person NHTSA needs advice from. She has a Ph.D. in Systems Engineering, Professorships at MIT and Duke, 20+ years of research in human-autonomous systems, many research papers on driving systems, Navy F-18 pilot, etc...

Totally agree. Arguing about benefits of cm resolution in LIDAR vs. Radar vs. Vision is not productive when there are much bigger autonomous driving problems to solve. There are a range of AI reasoning, machine learning, engineering, human factors, sociological, and regulatory issues that...

AI is't perfect (humans aren't either) and AI development is all about balancing trade-offs; Maximizing your hit rate (AI detects something that is there) and minimizing the false alarm rate (AI detects something that isn't really there). If you narrow the scope of the world you are modeling...

Yes, the brain has evolved for rapid multi sensory perception and reasoning based on what it takes in. An 8 year old also has the advantage of tens of thousands of hours of training through grounded experience. When a ball is coming at them, they have to duck, or catch it, or get hit by it...

My view, as an expert in AI and human-AI systems and an owner of two Teslas, is that Missy Cummings is correct and justified in her criticisms. Generally, Radar + Vision is going to be better than vision alone. Vision can do a lot, but multimodal redundant systems will be better. They also...

I was part of the first wave and supposed to get the camera upgrade on the 24th, but they called me and said the parts had not come. Now I'm scheduled for December 7th. So yes, they can't yet handle the orders from the first wave.

I received my invite here in Colorado through the app. I'm scheduled for the 24th.

I'm in Boulder and used Windward Electric (www.poweritupkeepiton.com). They are experienced with Tesla installs. The owner, Erik, was really good at explaining options for my install.

We picked ours up at Superior today. There were 3 or 4 people getting Ys at the same time and a truck pulling up with even more of them. The experience isn't totally "touchless". They leave the documents to sign in the car and give you time to read through them and check out everything...

That's good to know. I'm picking up my Midnight gray, black interior (VIN 13XXX) tomorrow at Superior Given the problems others have reported, I 'm going to do a very thorough look over before accepting.

I'm a day one (hour one) reservation holder and haven't seen anything change in my account yet. On the other hand, I haven't felt a great need to push them since I've probably driven about 100 miles in the past 2.5 months.

Maybe it's actually telling you that you are "ready to buy a pickup" and it's pre-marketing for the pickup truck reveal on Nov. 21st. :)

To solve the problem with my dash cam (Blackvue), I found installing ferrite cores on the cords greatly helped improve the performance of the keys and my GPS.

I haven't driven through Cuba with an EV, and Plugshare makes it look like a charging desert. It looks like one option is Theresa's Beauty Salon & RV Park, Address: 6523 US-550, Cuba, NM 87013 Phone: (575) 289-3244

This happened to me after I installed a new Blackvue Camera. The issue seemed to be due to stray interference from the cable. I put some ferrite cores on the camera cable and it solved the problem.
