Okay it's next month....where is our smoooooth as silk

I would think 6 more years would be a better time frame to shoot for

true autonomous driving.

 

[Bladerskb]

Nice!
link?

Also, what do you think is most likely time now for these features? August/ September like I said? earlier? later?

Tesla begins HD map development (collecting short camera videos) as i predicted

EAP timeline is early august through october.

true autonomous driving.

meaning a system that can drive as good or better than a human in all environments? oh yea at least 6 years away.

EAP timeline is early august through October.

I hope an EAP feature comes soon, like transitioning between freeways, I'm just craving some excitement to get people's attention and take autonomous driving seriously. even if is a poorly performing L2 feature with debatable safety concerns.


And same goes for FSD L2 features, will also get attention even if its just a L2 feature that needs many disengagements.

Until what?

or are you just making a joke?

Tesla made the joke. I'm just part of the punchline.

I don't believe anything Musk says that involves the concept of time.

FYI the new Kernel is in the current software (17.18.25) and newer.

Linux version 4.4.35-release-03mar2017-84029-g4ddb263-dirty ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.5.2 (GCC) ) #see_/etc/commit SMP PREEMPT 1202798460

Sonptin the 17.17.x firmware for AP2 cars yet?

 

[boonedocks]

Place your bets....place your bets. Elon said "maybe" as early as next week. What is your wager and when do you actually think?

 

[chillaban]

Probably small rollout around Thursday, flood gates open sometime the week after.

 

[hill]

Oh dread .... not another update.

.

 

[deonb]

next month = n+1. only Elon knows what "n" is.

Or "1" for that matter.

 

[Dborn]

There are still a lot of things that need upgrading in AP1 cars. The Linux kernel, the navigation app, the sound system, refinements to acceleration and braking in autopilot, automatic steering wheel retraction and even an automatic exit mode moving the seat back for exit, and so on. We were also promised a new user interface. All delayed because of a spat with the market leader, Mobileye!!

 

[BestRadar]

Don't worry an end of quarter is coming.. We can all expect some new promises to get those quarterly sales numbers up.

 

[MP3Mike]

It looks like it might be here: 17.22.46 - Perpendicular parking

 

[hill]

I'd just settle on AEB functionong reliably.

The Electrek.co article says that this update brings full speed AEB as well: Tesla starts rollout of new ‘silky smooth’ Autopilot 2.0 with perpendicular autopark & auto display brightness

 

[xyeahtony]

6 years lol. Elon has never been that off, ever.

 

[boonedocks]

Grrrrrr should have had enough foresight to realize Elon meant "and next week **3 cars** will get a firmware update making AP2 smooth as silk". :-/

 

[chillaban]

Grrrrrr should have had enough foresight to realize Elon meant "and next week **3 cars** will get a firmware update making AP2 smooth as silk". :-/

He said June and then "maybe early next week".

The first three cars got it last week technically. Based off the PR statement it sounds like the mass rollout is planned for the end of the week.

In the grand scheme of Elon time, this isn't too bad.

 

[gearchruncher]

"If". Let's criticize them for falling off that schedule when they've actually fallen off that schedule. Not when we're only halfway into it.

....And they are officially off the schedule. Elon tweeted that the next update "should" be next weekend, which is over the 6 week max between updates. He made it a whole 4 updates! When it doesn't come out next weekend the fanboys will all say "well he said SHOULD not WILL!!!!!"

Whinge away!
