yup, same here, but it depends on the radius of the round-about. Near my home it is a disaster even at 5 mph. Red hands of death appear. But in other areas of Sparks/Reno, it can negotiate fine with a large radius round-about. I get back home tomorrow, so I'll get an opportunity to try 69 on the ones near home. Hoping for the best. From what I hear, it should be fine, but I prefer to verify for myself.
They need to fix the strike algorithm first.
I’ve routinely been able to do roundabouts. I don’t know what’s considered ‘small,’ but the center island on most of the roundabouts I’ve used is probably between 5 & 10 meters across
My city reworked a road in my neighborhood and replaced a bunch of residential road stop signs with very small roundabouts. These require nearly minimum turn radius to navigate. School buses cannot make a left turn by following the roundabout in the anti-clockwise direction and must shortcut by going clockwise.
That's an interesting intersection. I guess I would not even call that a roundabout. More of an annoying obstacle. Nice looking neighborhood. I'm having a hard time understanding why that thing is there.
Yeah - if they designed it so a school bus can’t properly navigate it then it’s a design fail, IMO.
We have a lot of roundabouts near me. None of them look like that ugly thing. My guess some contractor pocketed the money instead of building a proper round about.
People tend to speed on the through street through the neighborhood. The road used to have speed bumps and a lot of stop signs. The roundabouts replace all that. They actually work pretty well. They're landscaped now and look fine when not distorted by a streetmap fisheye lens.
The beauty of subscription pricing is it's an ongoing reflection of true market price. We might not know what it's going to be at any given point in its development, but we know that the price has to be supportive of the functionality.
Roundabouts are too logical.
Why is this only the case with subscription pricing. It’s the same thing with purchase price for FSD. The take rate of FSD is low because neither the subscription nor the purchase price is reflective of true market price.
They don't do this because that would give everyone a lifetime of self driving software for peanuts.
I don't see why that matters. If you keep your one Tesla for a lifetime then you've got a lifetime of self driving. You bought it. Why couldn't it transfer, just because they are greedy? If your next Tesla has a higher priced version with HW4, sure they could charge you the difference.
Because, unless you are very old, chances are that you will not keep your Tesla for the rest of your life. If you have a lifetime license, you'd expect Tesla to continue to support it with free software and hardware upgrades - possibly for 50 years, depending on your age. And, since there would eventually be millions of lifetime owners, money to pay for those upgrades will ultimately have to come from a relatively few first time FSD buyers.
They could just as easily use the Windows model, issue free software updates for HW3 until at some point they issue HW4. Then you only get updates to fix critical issues on HW3. You can transfer your HW3 software to any other HW3 car, but if you want HW4 then you have to buy the new software version - with the new hardware being included in the new car's price.
The purchase price has always leveraged fear of missing out to justify it's price despite features not being ready. It can always be higher than true "it is what it does today" market price if buyers believe they'll get something more later. It's essentially a Kickstarter.
You are referring to the windows OEM model where you pay the Windows license fee as part of each computer purchase? The OEM version of windows is not transferable to a new computer even if it's compatible. If you buy a PC that has no OS, you cannot move it to the new computer.
Apple gives a pretty big discount for that.
