2017.50.3.f3425a1 is out!

[BBB4000]

I really can't figure out why this took so long. Most other manufacturers have figured this out long ago. My Lexus from 10 years ago had this feature and it worked flawlessly. I wonder if Telsa is using a different set of sensors than most traditional auto manufacturers which led to a more ground up design?

AP1 used a dedicated sensor. AP2, for whatever reason, uses the cameras and that's why the feature went away for >1 yr

So every beta has external testers, in your thinking?

Before this gets out of hand ("snippy") I think different organizations have different meanings for "alpha" or "beta" testing, and there's a lot of overlap.

Not a definitive source, just an example definition: Alpha vs. Beta Testing

But I think we can all agree that what Tesla calls "beta" testing is really "field" testing, no?

I'm now awake. The tracker has been fixed.



Yup. Until I get a name from BR, I called it "I can see clearly now"

@HankLloydRight...I don't know if you can fit two lines in the tracker... My suggestion was" I can see clearly now the rain is gone "

 

[HankLloydRight]

Let's try it out and see. Might push the table out a bit.

 

[Swift]

You're right.

You might be right forever.

Love it. Just like AP.

 

[J1mbo]

Of course, they had to drop "the most sophisticated NN in a consumer product" once they had @verygreen's car safely out of the way!

 

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

From a programmers perspective the difference between an Alpha and Beta is that an Alpha is tested internally, a Beta is tested externally. Therefore any releases we see will always be at least Beta releases.

It'd be a comment on the quality. That is, it's in beta, but it shouldn't be.

EDIT: I hope that it's not being rushed out. I could see why they'd hold it back: being automatic - it's something people would turn off if there are false positives.

Are we talking Model S/X only?

My Model 3 has latest firmware, as of yesterday, of 2017.48.11-8df3b30

 

[Matias]

side note: this is a proper way to use ”beta” software in a car. On the other hand, on the driving or braking not so much...

 

[Wrkent100]

Please tell me this patch fixes the LTE / slacker latency issue?

 

[buttershrimp]

Happy New Year! Just received this update which features ****drum roll please **** auto sensing wipers! I will post pics of update screen a little later.

Edit: should be "2017.50.3 f3425a1"

BUTTERSHRIMP!! YOU'RE AWAKE!!

That version is so day before yesterday. Yesterday my Model 3 got 2017.48.15 8812942. I didn't notice anything different from 48.9, but release notes don't seem to be a thing on Model 3 yet.

Lol, I've had the car for about 14 hours! They had just pushed the latest!

 

[AnxietyRanger]

Tesla bought back @verygreen's car.

Then released new NNs and features day or so later, first time in months.

Just saying.

Edit: Just noticed @J1mbo made this point already - credit there where it is due.

 

[Xtek]

It's interesting that this is still a week 50 release. I guess this might be subtle validation that the different software teams are operating independently.

 

[AnxietyRanger]

@verygreen had been holding us all back.

 

[Xtek]

I'm starting to realize I don't like that I know that these software updates are pending. It's like looking out front watching for the delivery guy for an anticipated package. I just keep refreshing my Unifi dashboard.

Also, why is my car downloading Netflix? Flaw in DPI?
