Battery cells != scalable
And here I was worrying that this week we wouldn't have another new thread on this topic...

...AP is used in easier scenarios...
There are about 1.3 million people die from car accidents annually.
If your Tesla works as its spec of twice better than human, it would save 650,000 lives.
On the other hand, there are still the rest of 650,000 people who will die because the spec is only twice as good as human driver.
Agreed about including developing nation data.I believe this math has errors. That 1.3M number is worldwide. Many counties don't have safe or even paved roads or safe cars. Some share roads with livestock etc. A better number to compare would be first world countries where the roads and laws are similar.
"Every day, 28 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver."
Impaired Driving: Get the Facts | Motor Vehicle Safety | CDC Injury Center
In 2015 (16,484) alcohol related deaths could be wiped clean if a L5 FSD car was enabled.
Total deaths in the US (2015) was 35,092.
Fatality Facts
In order to make this number (650,000 lives saved and 650,000 still lost) statistic valid, the infrastructure in all countries would need to be equal. I don't think this comparison valid.
I like to think of EAP as L3.For example, an L2 system -- like Teslas AP1 or EAP [...]
flying + (car wheels, roadkill or man holes).Yet, the L2 system has by definition no fallback procedure or might not be designed to watch out for flying car wheels, roadkill or man holes [...]
I'd like to think that too, but of course I dontI like to think of EAP as L3.
oh yeah this topic will go on forever lolAnd here I was worrying that this week we wouldn't have another new thread on this topic...
honestly speaking, i don't think so. I think the software will only get more complicated as they add scenarios to consider. They may come up with new HW which can calculate some specific formulas faster but that will result in HW upgrade in the end...This is like asking the zoo how high the fence should be before they know what animal it's for.
The problem of self driving has not yet been solved, on any platform.
I suspect that as the software matures there will huge scope for optimisation.
Probably. Even smarter is to let that money grow a little by way of TSLA in the meantimeIn any case is the smart money to go ahead and pay the FSDC upgrade the moment a software patch does anything with it?

Yes, particularly this week. The stock has been down the past several days because people don't get what the return of FUSC means for the future of Tesla. But all this has done was to create a buying opportunity for those who do get it.
That's what I did, FSD at delivery. But you were asking about 'smart' money.So maybe just plopping down for FSDC would actually have been the better buy.
Why not? Because you think they will make us buy FSD for that?
The [human] need not supervise a level 3 [system] while it is engaged but is expected to be prepared to resume the [driving] when the [system] issues a request to intervene
That said, Enhanced Autopilot should still be considered a driver's assistance feature
Scenarios are computationally cheap. Every car in a arcade racing game is sticking to the track, avoiding other cars, waiting for the starting gun, etc, all on a 20 year old CPU.honestly speaking, i don't think so. I think the software will only get more complicated as they add scenarios to consider. They may come up with new HW which can calculate some specific formulas faster but that will result in HW upgrade in the end...
So L3 requires FSD. That's what I want, and that's why I paid for FSD before delivery. And happily so.I hope this clarifies things a little bit
*sigh* You're really giving me a hard time hereSo L3 requires FSD.
7. DEPRECATED TERMS
[T]his section identifies certain deprecated terms that are not used in this [document] either because they are functionally imprecise (and therefore misleading) and/or because they are frequently misused by application to lower levels of driving automation [...]
7.1.2 Self-driving
The meaning of this term can vary based on unstated assumptions about the meaning of driving and driver. It is variously used to refer to situations in which no driver is present, to situations in which no user is performing the [driving], and to situations in which a driving automation system is performing any part of the [driving].
