I can solve the dancing cars on your display with a few lines of smoothing code. That part is not a big deal. I come from decades of experience in the computer graphics industry where we literally created the fore-bearer of all this vision tracking stuff back on Silicon Graphics and Sun Microsystems workstations. As you increase sampling frequency, you increase noise. Can apply various smoothing algos, FFT etc. Same thing happens when you record audio or picture or even your iPhone's GPS tracks. Apple could show your GPS position bouncing all over the place if they wanted. Just because they smooth it, doesn't mean its functioning better, and vice versa.
I respect your experience, first off - but it speaks volumes that this technology exists, they're aware of it, and the entire fleet is laughing (and not in the friendly, jokey way) about the dancing cars and if it were so simple to fix,
it should have been fixed by now.
You understand the behavior given your background. I understand it philosophically coming from a similar background. But my wife gets in the car and is immediately freaked out that it looks like another car is slicing into the back end of our car, over and over again. If you get enough bad information, humanity engineers us to start ignoring and distrusting what we thought was "true" which is - the visual representation of cars is buggers. And we're supposed to trust this system? This coded behavior creates distrust.
I'm not in the business to make excuses on behalf of tesla, except where it's literally true. Sure the panel gaps are real, but I can make a call and get those fixed, for example. The dancing cars? .... it's pretty crazy bad at stop lights. Almost a joke.
So I completely sympathize with the poster who chose not to get FSD because of the dancing cars. When a car is run by technology, and that technology is doing something bad, AND when someone says "it should be simple to fix" ... why isn't it?
I'd like to think the answer actually IS NOT as easy as you suggest, because I would like to have more faith in the Tesla software. Not to be argumentative, but we all need to trust this software, literally with our lives.
