Separate names with a comma.
Robotaxi? I can even call my bank and use the voice assistant to correctly forward my call. The performance of software in our daily life...
I think it now runs the fan more to dry the AC condenser. Perhaps runs the heat pump for that reason too. Too many stinky HVAC complaints...
We are already deep into that choice.
I don't recall Einstein selling stuff based on his predictions. But maybe I missed the Einstein's Always Warm brand of coffee cups.
He did talk about public transportation from down town IIRC. Might tunnels be useful within the gigafactory?
Shipping is overnight in already designed containers that include GPS and temp monitoring. The shipping infrastructure has been in place for...
How do you come up with half price from Tire Rack?
Coastal Californians who occasionally go to the mountains in winter should probably just have chains for all season tires. You may never need the...
Almost everyone with a Tesla spends the majority of time in winter driving on dry roads. All snow rated tires are far superior to all weather...
I don't see new modeling since the virus accelerated in Europe and the U.S. Anyone seen new modeling in the last week or so?
Drone pilot is a microprocessor tracking the car
I don't find the small air filters to be practical due to noise. I have two large blue air units that I run on medium. If I was concerned about...
In a typical not-too-airtight house exhaust fans with exterior vents will do a fair amount of air exchange even in winter. Cracking a window away...
lidar does not require a laser in the visible spectrum.
I don't think it's about selling the FSD option now. I think it's the usual Elon strategy of forcing products out the door to accelerate...
Except Rich Rebuilds, who would have made the most entertaining video.
Wasn't the 2016 demo done on the nvidia board and software?
Waymo self-driving cars can now respond to traffic cops' hand signals - Roadshow
Interesting Stoplights
It's a good time to order. The car has been updated. You will avoid the end of quarter crapshow. I inspected several new M3 and MY in August and...
Yes, perception and a highly accurate model of the environment is key. I have no doubt that Mobileye can drive well today with their 12 camera...
When Tesla started their FSD other sophisticated companies were very optimistic about the reach of machine learning. The voice assistants are the...
Subscription variant that has the owner to pay for FSD by allowing Tesla to run it as a robotaxi.
What's the handoff time for level 3? Can Tesla claim level 3 without regulatory approval?
"Yes" would mean that a million cars needing a hardware upgrade
No head scratching for me. The release is not beta quality. Waymo has an actual robotaxi. Mobileye announced a SuperVision deal. Tesla risks...
So you have no software development experience?
If Tesla was of effectively using all those miles driven by us they would be much further along 93 months, maybe 6). The correct interpretation...
Mobileye's CEO did his phd on this topic. It was monocular vision too. Mobileye claims they will use lidar for a separate system, not to directly...
Unfortunately Jim Keller's prediction apparently requires advances in software that are far from certain.
Tesla's sign reading problems is a failure of deep learning. So is the issue of cars missing from the display when stopped at a light. Getting...
I think the car uses some blend of speed limit from map data and reading speed from sign. The car obviously can read a clear construction zone 55...
LIDAR can't see stoplights or brake lights, so there is always at least a forward facing camera.
I like the designation L2+ which is sometimes used. The current Teslas get very good at many autonomous tasks, but Tesla never "pulls the trigger"...
Well, I think HD or not may be semantics. Tesla is going to map as much as it needs to map....
Didn't Musk alter his position on mapping a couple of years ago? The large amount of upload from the car is perhaps partly location data. Mobileye...
FMCW radar can apparently sense stationary objects. So a change in radar would be one way to eliminate phatom braking. I don't know how Tesla...
So Mobileye feels than can get 10,000 hours per accident with cameras. That's interesting as Amnon Shashua is an actual adult who likely gives...

Lidars seem to be in in the 10-30 watt range. Energy required is expected to go down substantially. But a commercial vehicle consuming even a kW...
Robotaxis will be used for deliveries when possible. I'm sure that Amazon is all over how they can use autonomous vehicles. While the final 50...
I guess kids sit in the rear seat with their heads against the rear hatch glass. The third row folds flat, so it seems that the seat cushion depth...
Uber scales on demand. Part time drivers tend to work when demand and prices are higher. In that sense capital utilization is superior with Uber...
[ Yes, the angle difference between the two eyes/camera is too small to estimate size at distance. I assume a humans and well as Tesla does...
Look at the upcoming FMCW lidar and radar. I don't think Waymo intends to run their cars at highway speed with current lidar because of range...
What forward facing lidar in 2016? Give me a list of the lidars Musk had the choice of using.
You can't be serious. The long range LIDAR available TODAY are completely out of the practical price range for a Model S. How many of the $75,000...
Here's some 2020 pricing on the class of LIDAR Waymo is using for its lower speed taxi: Ouster Releases New Ultra-Wide View OS0 Lidar Sensor and...
How would Tesla put LIDAR on a 2015 Model S? I have had a LIDAR based vacuum since about 2016 (Neato and now Roborock). The availability of...
Link to the lidar Tesla could have installed.
