Indeed, so my guess is that it won't be changed back to rolling stop in v12?
Not unless someone changes the law that makes rolling stops illegal.

Thats got to be one of the dumbest things NHTSA has done. I mean ... it will regularly crash into other cars in roundabouts (if not intervened) and yet they are more worried about the car not coming to a zero mph stop at stop lights.
NHTSA stepped in because Tesla's policy was to roll stop signs. So NHTSA is not jumping on the fact that FSDb can't do a good job somewhere, but that Tesla's policy was counter to law.Why didn't they care about risky behavior at roundabouts or passing school buses or whatever?
Do you guys think it will be a same set of training data for all countries in the world, or a different set for each country (or groups of similar countries)?
In theory this entirely training-data driven system should be able to adapt to different driving locations, or ideally train on the entire world. Location specific driving customs and road layouts can be thought of as two dimensions of a vast multidimensional array. Other environmental dimensions would be time of day, weather, traffic density, construction and so on. But these conditions, even though they may persist for actimespan of minutes to hours, are also not really independent of the moment-by-moment events and driving decisions that must go into the solution.They can't use the same set of training data for all countries for the simple reason that driving regulations and laws differ. A U..S. training set would be useless in countries where people drive on the left side of the road, for example. Road markings and signage differ. And so on.
My understanding is that the training set is simply Tesla's driving in the situation where the training data is required. This will be human drivers, not FSD for the training set, as such they will have heaps of training data available worldwide and growing hourly. Having less drivers using FSD theoretically helps the training set.I think at this time, the bigger reason for a geographical restriction is not so much for model simplification, but rather the simple fact that Tesla has not been running FSD on a large scale outside of North America, so the available training data set is much smaller elsewhere.
Within the USA alone, there are enough differences both legal and empirical that it would need training scenarios to cover the gamut. What we outsiders don't know yet is whether the machine language model, running on the computer in the car, would be sufficient to cover scenarios from all over the USA much less the entire world.. And further, if worldwide capability is too much for the HW3 computer, then is it really true that resorting to customized regional software releases would solve that problem?
They do care, but that's just the software not working right. NHTSA has stepped in when the software was working right but illegally or dangerously.Why didn't they care about risky behavior at roundabouts or passing school buses or whatever? I kind of thought they would, issue some further requests for performance improvement on a regular basis, but they didn't follow-up. That's what's curious to me, that they didn't continue to press Tesla for change.
Looks like they really separated the two cameras apart, which is interesting.Elon emphasizing cameras work better than lidar using sarcasm.
They can have a tube to squirt cleaner, air, hot air to clean the camera. It's an additional cost but probably not too expensive.Looks like they really separated the two cameras apart, which is interesting.
I wonder how they keep those camera views clean, as the wipers may not get to those areas...
A startup discovers Vidar aka structure from motion using just cameras. Everyone uses it, Waymo, Mobileye, Zoox etc. The argument has never been lidar vs cameras, its camera only vs camera+lidar+radar. They all have weaknesses that complement each other. But no Camera is not better than Lidar at measuring distance.Elon emphasizing cameras work better than lidar using sarcasm.
Lidar also advantages at night and during weather events.... But no Camera is not better than Lidar at measuring distance.

+1, the idea is to have N* x better than human driving.Elon also tweeted a few days ago about how roads are made for vision, so lidar is not needed. He does not seem to understand the purpose of lidar.
They could be significantly reduced by slowing down. Braking distance should never exceed visibility distance, Lidar or no Lidar. And if you're going to add active sensors, choose a wavelength that isn't opaque to fog, not lidar but radar.

Honestly don‘t see your argument. He is technically right in his statement as it’s not Needed. It may add value but that doesn’t mean it’s needed. Can a car run exclusively with cameras? Yes, can a car run exclusively with only LiDAR? No. So by that definition cameras Are superior. All your arguments and rebuttal are fine but that doesn’t make his statement wrong..And he is wrong to say that cameras are superior to lidar. Lidar is still superior to cameras
Actually (and I know this because I grew up driving in Europe and taking tests for licenses in two different countries), most signage in Europe other than city names, road names etc. does NOT include words, so Europeans traveling across borders by road do not to learn multiple languages.A car in Self driving Tesla in europe will need to drive in multiple countries, i.e. at least 28, and probably more, each with different languages and signage
Can confirm as a EU resident having driven in at least 15 EU countries . Road signage in Europe has huge overlap. If Tesla has a plan for UK (driving on the left) I'm sure they can figure EU out.Actually (and I know this because I grew up driving in Europe and taking tests for licenses in two different countries), most signage in Europe other than city names, road names etc. does NOT include words, so Europeans traveling across borders by road do not to learn multiple languages.
Things like speed limits, one way streets, “do not enter”, dead end, etc. are all signs that are common amongst most EU countries and are just based on symbols and numbers, unlike in the US where words are heavily used on such signs (like in the examples above). The one exception that I can remember are stop signs (“arrêt”, “alto”, “pare”, etc.) but even then, I’ve recently seen “stop” being used in many EU countries other than the UK (which is actually not even in the EU anymore).
