    Supercharger - Boone, NC

    I found the town council meeting with the Supercharger proposal on the agenda. Starts at 2:14:00 I'd tend to agree that putting it on the corner of Queen and Water St would work out better for all, but we'll see what happens...

    Coronavirus

    Check out BA1.1, also. It's interesting how it's taken hold here and in other western countries, while BA.2 has run rampant in Denmark. I wonder how much protection 1.1 will give against 2 if that does end up outcompeting the other sub-variants...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I've seen my car do a similar maneuver in both 10.9 and 10.10. It kind of just swerves out of the lane and to the right. In my case goes straight towards a curb with no slowing. I've never experienced it until the last two updates and Tesla needs to fix it asap.

    Bloomberg keeps good track of this. You can see many countries have more vaccine than double their population now. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/?srnd=premium

    Completely false and deluded statement. The unvaccinated are far more likely to die, be hospitalized, and catch covid. That's what vaccine efficacy means.

    Coronavirus

    The breakthrough rate is 75% for what level of vaccination? Also, what is your source for virus shedding? It has been clear to most of us that a booster is necessary for decent protection against symptomatic infection from omicron.

    No, I have an issue with people that post misinformation and poor studies as fact and use that to bolster their opinion. If you have high quality covid research to share, I'm happy to read and update my point of view on covid vaccines, treatment, etc.

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    I'd guess regional NN training has a big effect on how FSD drives (Ex: overfit for the bay area). Austin and Silicon Valley probably have the most FSD drivers per capita, therefore the most training, and the best performance.

    This, in addition to areas where FSD has little training will likely fair worse (Boston, Southwest Utah, etc).

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    From all of the videos I've watched FSD seems to perform much better at lower speeds on residential streets. It may take a while for it to "know" the correct speed for these scenarios and in the meantime testers will have to control the speed manually.

    Most states have religious or personal belief exemptions for vaccine mandates. This ruling isn't overruling mandates, but following precedent. https://www.ncsl.org/research/health/school-immunization-exemption-state-laws.aspx

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    One aspect that could be affecting FSD performance is the areas you guys are driving in. I don't think I've seen any videos of testers in Boston or Pennsylvania, which could result in a lack of training data for the neural nets. Hopefully the next few iterations will show big improvements.
  35. Yuri_G

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    Another point that new testers may want to keep in mind is that FSD Beta does not recognize road closed signs or gates. Elon says this is coming as the neural nets get updated, but the beta will not stop for road closed signs. It's important to stay extra viligant around construction and signs...

    You may have to check that your "confirm lane changes" setting in Navigate on Autopilot is set to no confirmation.

    For the folks that are concerned about how "aggressive" FSD drives. Make sure to adjust the vehicle speed to your comfort level. That seemed to help Rob Maurer out when getting used to using the beta.

    They are not absolute, but required for the 93% of kids that are in public/private schools. Not to mention this percentage is around 96-97% in non-pandemic years. This is proof to me that vaccine mandates work. I was not aware of proof of prior infection for passing the vaccine requirements...

    Not claiming that it won't be solved, just that the solution to this issue is less urgent than various other traffic scenarios. Tesla could use human confirmation to improve unprotected lefts across several lanes of traffic while the scenarios we all encounter more commonly are solved first.

    Many of those scenarios were on downtown city streets which are the most complex roads. Most people aren't going to encounter planters or huge rail pylons in the road when driving.
